My first outing in MX5 - pics and question

It was a total hoot.

Now, I've never done any drifting before, but it came very naturally in the MX5 (its a very easy car to drive). What would you guys recommend to help me hone the skill?

Thanks

Michael

That looks like a right laugh. As regards to the car and what to do, as Dunk says PRACTICE!!

Seat time will make all of the difference in the World and is so often overlooked. I'm guilty of that too :)

I span twice, so tht may happen eventually!

Have to say that (despite the obvious body roll) out of the box the car is great - very quick and grippy if you want to be tidy but a flick away from oversteer city!

Superb mate, Mx5s are great fun.

Agree with the practice comments.

Is this going to be used for drifting or setup for general trackdays ?
