Update:

Today i just went out the front and layed out my two hockey sticks to make a "v" shape with a gap in the middle eg : \ /
even though my road is probably two stones away from being gravel, i some how managed to squash it into something driftable and practice drifting in and around the "v" to ME it seemed better than a figure of eight but thats just my preferance.

im going to the netball courts( like 100m x 50m of perfectly flat smooth concrete) with some chalk, and.. water to wash it off(gotta be clean to be able to use it again) and im gonna set up an actual track, hope it goes ok ^.^
