‘Trying’ to Drift the Lotus Emira! 😳 Track day and Bike Park Wales with Matt Jones!

Matt Jones and myself along with Xpel teamed up to rent Llandow race track for the day to blast around in our cars, and learn the limits! With my Lotus Emira , Matts Mclaren 600LT and an empty track for the day it was the perfect opportunity to see if we can learn to drift! With a few thrills and spills and even a trip across the grass for Matt, it was a fantastic learning curve! We then decided to put the keys away and get back to what we know with some downhill riding at Bike Park Wales the next day. Enjoy!

Oh my [Applause] God we got some proper smoke then hey oh that doesn’t that good hello everyone Welcome to our Welsh Road Trip video you can see we’ve got quite a lot of stuff to fit into the Lotus we arrived here in Wales last night this lovely guest house here and

Today we’re going to landow RAC trck which is pretty cool we’ve actually rented the track out Matt Jones is coming as well and his McLaren so we’re having a day blasting around on the track Learning to Drift I think it might be a bit rainy so it should be a bit

Sketchy and then tomorrow it’s raining even more and we’re going to bike park Wales to ride some downhill so yeah should be an awesome trip let’s Go here there we go so if you’re looking for a car perfect for mountain biking road trip to Wales Lotus American be as long as you have a support vehicle bring your bik yeah as long as you make bring your bikes the next day be tight the get the adrenaline going early in

K three four five very technical um tire pressure right then C right here we go I guess L wor I mean we don’t need to check the traffic cuz there is man it’s quite bumpy down the back here isn’t it yeah watch of pigeons that’s real

Bumpy I quite like how tight it is yeah go off the back straight open it up need to find out our breaking point there some markers 100 m be safe yeah the chican and there’s a [Applause] lap might be over the code on that one I think we may have hit the code [Applause] oh there he goes yeah that’s perfect perfect 360 there m there we go that was completely on purpose obviously oh we got some proper smoke then hey yes very good smoke out the tires they’re

Still there just about try yeah look’s just arrived just in time for some more fun Matthew welcome to the Pinko private track D thank you how is he drive uh long I’ve never seen this item here what you look K I think it looks better in real life than in pictures has been

Wrapped it has been wrapped Matthew that’s the XEL hydrophobic PF that’s what we’re here today look at hardly tell look at all this Faby Rubber and stone chips not a problem off it comes protects your paint beautiful I might get a lot of rubber and stones on mine

But I was hoping to get them off when I go through a hedge yeah especially when you go backwards in through the bush it will like really clean the rubber off nicely yeah have you been on track in that before no no I don’t it’s literally

The best ever this is the best road trip ever Matt’s just arrived in his McLaren 600 LT so he’s going to come and join some fun on the track as well it’s going to be good right let’s take you out for a little sighting then the rain is

Slightly coming but it’s not enough to make it a wet track you name yeah this thing rips such a good track is it Go wa be careful I don’t rubbish passenger go on boy oh here it is the big one oh we missed the thir oh we got it look [Applause] Oh How funny is that well there’s no one behind I know it doesn’t matter yeah how good how good sry F you go your tires pull some jeans they do don’t they it’s good car 1.6 reckon look how tight this is yeah you’re going through it in the

Middle of it you’re still going 60 MPH here yeah and if it’s not your car you’d absolutely rail that inside curve and you could go so much faster through but that’s a big curb it’s a big curb isn’t it massive that’ll take my front end off another a few laps down another few

Laps down getting boring yet definitely not getting boring at all it’s getting better and better [Applause] actually oh my God you can feel it spinning on the B break H yes nice see how much it power it was so ready for it w yes boy W oh my God he got the 123

[Applause] oh oh that doesn’t S good Samuel you had a few really nice drifts there Matthew and then I ran out of town and went really in the grass like way in there you you forgot you weren’t in Nomad anymore something’s oh look I’ve shredded my tire entirely oh no that’s needy place

Before I go home oh my Lord oh my God that’s what the noise is that’ll do it can you see ADV where nearest tire garage for them you probably won’t get them want to get a flapper well there we are the rain’s coming down unfortunately kind of

Putting a bit of an early end to the day yeah I just did a couple lamps in the rain just to see I thought maybe it would be cool for drifting but it’s actually not at all it’s so unpredictable with like big puddles of water especially with the tires fairly

Bored now should do a quick Tire check actually back left has taken it hard [Laughter] today but I’m not surprised where’s the tread yeah cool straight to the shop to get a new one of those but it’s well worth it we got some proper smoke today we got some

Proper drifting managed to link up three or four turns which is kind of the challenge of the day which is wicked um great start to our world’s road trip next stop is bike park whales we’ll swap the amateur cars for the professional biking see if we can do any better with

That so we’ll see you guys over there at Bike Park whales yeah thanks everyone for having us thanks for xell for keeping the car nice and protected trying my best but uh yeah it’s still looking good every time you leave a track day with a car intact is real good

Loving the lot to miror still it’s uh it’s quite spiky it’s not the easiest car to drift but that kind of makes it a good challenge doesn’t it right let’s get over to bik park worlds then we’re going to go find our Airbnb and we’ll see you in the morning here we go
