    Hey guys,

    Try Winton (near Benalla), they have regular events, as for "wet events" i'm not so sure, the risk of crashing increases significantly and some tracks wont open if its wet. Winton have regular fun /test and tune days.

    first of all maybe you should start with a safe driver course and learn the limits of your car in a skidpan, insurance wont cover you on the track as well so it pays to practice ., you'll find some modifications will need to be made to "drift" or even power slide properly but its a good place to start!

    i heard some insurance mobs will subsidise the cost of these courses, or give a discount on your insurance if you do one.
