Drift School is a chance to get out on track without the pressure of a bunch of cars chasing down your door. One car on track at a time, just get out there and drive a bunch of laps to gain valuable experience.
The main priority is getting that track time but tutors will be there to guide you through what is required as you go, providing tips and advice. They may come for a ride with you to help further or if you wish they can drive your car for you to show you how its done.
Drift School Format
– Small groups alternating on track, cars one at a time.
– Drivers drift the section of track one at a time with tutors assisting with advice and driving tips
– A Track Version 1 used. 2nd gear for most cars, easier for beginners.
– BYO Car. No rentals are available
Weekday morning format sees cars on track approx 2.5 – 3 hours and very limited numbers to help with training. Lower noise limit applies to morning events, loud cars may not be suitable (please contact for details).
Larger/Weekend events (only 1 or 2 a year), run for the whole day and larger numbers with alternating groups on track.
Please make sure to read this whole page before entering to ensure you and your car will be OK.
It is highly recommended that your car has at least some basic mods otherwise you will struggle to learn:
– Lowered/stiffer suspension
– Tight limited slip or locked Diff essential
– Good handbrake and upgraded clutch
– Must have sufficient power to spin the wheels in 2nd gear
– First timers, it is highly recommended you get in touch with some car details so we can provide setup advice before the day
