About the experience
Get those tyres smoking and learn to drift a performance drift-ready car on this awesome half day experience. Learn the basics in a specially prepared Nissan R33 Skyline, Nissan S14/S14a 200SX or a Lexus IS200 drift car, before putting your newly learnt skills to the test on a final 4 lap drifting session. Finish off experiencing first-hand what it's like to be a passenger in a car with a driver who competes in one of the many national or international drift series, where a competitive environment will be replicated against a lead car for three high speed passenger rides.
- Welcome, introduction and safety briefing.
- Doughnuts - get trained on how to do that perfect doughnut and control the car using steering and throttle control, maintaining that perfect circular slide.
- Figures of 8 - learn how to control the car while the weight is shifting from one direction to the other, using steering/counter-steering and throttle control.
- Short Circuit - be taught how to navigate the car with a mixture of left-hand and right-hand bends, with 4 attempts of the short circuit, the instructor will give you a demo lap, then your chance to beat the instructor.
- 3-lap high-speed passenger ride (replicating a competition routine) - a lead car is sent and a chase car will follow in close proximity. You then have to hold your nerve as the drivers drift the cars as close as they can without touching.
The instructor is alongside you for all the above driving sessions. They will be pushing you hard and fast to learn doughnuts, weight shift techniques as quickly as possible before your final 4 attempts at drifting around the short circuit.
The cars used for day are custom prepared Lexus IS200/IS250 Drift Cars or Nissan 200SX's. We cannot guarantee which car will be used as its subject to availability on the day.
You will be at the venue for approx 3.5-4 hours. There will be some waiting time between each driving session but you can expect a minimum of 20 minutes behind the wheel.
