We headed down to Devon to help set up for another round of the Dakota Drift Series \u2014 track laid out, railings in place, and a quick test of Martin\u2019s BMW E46, \u201cThe Stallion.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday was drift day. The E36 ran smoothly all day in the heat. I started off in the playpen to check everything over before moving onto the main track. Hollie Kidney encouraged me to push harder, which meant a few cones paid the price, but I felt real progress. I also took friends and newcomers out for laps, including Ivy on her first drift ride \u2014 she loved it. After drifting, we packed everything down and cleared the track. Huge thanks to everyone who stayed behind to help \u2014 it\u2019s a big job but vital for keeping the event going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunday was the British Motor Show 2025. We drove up from Devon to Farnborough to display the E36 on the Driven Women stand. The journey was tight on time, but we just made it. Once set up, it was great to relax, enjoy the show, and see so many amazing cars, including some beautiful drift builds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, it was a fantastic weekend with great people and plenty of awesome cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"386\" data-id=\"807\" src=\"https:\/\/scarletracer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dakota_bms2025_1.jpg\" alt=\"The BMW E36 drifting on the main track at Dakota Drag and Drift event.\" class=\"wp-image-807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scarletracer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dakota_bms2025_1.jpg 510w, https:\/\/scarletracer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dakota_bms2025_1-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Out on the main track<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"386\" data-id=\"808\" src=\"https:\/\/scarletracer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dakota_bms2025_2.jpg\" alt=\"Meeting Eliza Seville at The British Motor Show 2025.\" class=\"wp-image-808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scarletracer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dakota_bms2025_2.jpg 510w, https:\/\/scarletracer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dakota_bms2025_2-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Meeting Eliza Seville at The British Motor Show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What an epic weekend!
