As a Driver

Drifting SA hosts a variety of events throughout the year designed for all skill levels. As a volunteer organisation, our events are held on weekends, with details and entry system released approximately weeks prior. Check out our Annual Events Calendar below for a complete schedule.

Requirements

To be able to drive at our events, you must:

  • Be at least 14 years old.
  • Drivers under 18 must contact us for approval before entering and must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

For Newbie Drivers

Drift Car Rental

Curious about drifting but don’t have a car? Drifting SA offers Learn 2 Drift sessions at our Drift School days, including a personal instructor and car for your session. Spaces are limited, so stay updated via our Events page to secure a spot!

Drift School

Our “Bring Your Own Car” Drift School runs primarily on skidpans (Super Schools may use larger tracks). Courses range from:

  • Donuts and figure-8s for beginners.
  • Advanced techniques like entries and tandem driving.

Vehicle requirements for Drift School:

  • A rear-wheel-drive car with a non-open differential.
  • A helmet.

Freestyle Events

WINTERFEST / LOCKTOBERFEST

These jam-packed, freestyle events feature:

  • Multiple layouts on The Bend’s drift track.
  • Groups tailored to different experience levels.
  • Skidpan sessions (when available).

Competitions & Regulations

If you’re thinking about competing, please review the standing regulations on the vehicle requirements page for details on competition format, car setup, and driver etiquette. Supplementary regulations are sent out before each event.

Competition Levels

  • L2 (Entry Level): Aimed for drivers new to competition, focusing on building experience and confidence.
  • L1 (Advanced): Once drivers have demonstrated their skills and feel more comfortable with the pressures of competition, they are encouraged to move up to L1, which offers a more challenging level of competition for seasoned competitors.

Membership Perks

Season Membership - Ideal for Competitors

With the Season Membership, you pay one upfront fee of $349 for L2 or $399 for L1 (includes Driver Membership) to commit to a full year of our Competition Series and enjoy exclusive benefits all year long:

  • $100 off per Competition Rround (compared to non-member).

  • Up to $100 off Practice Entries (depending on venue)

  • The final round entry is only $1!

This membership offers great value for drivers who plan to participate across the season. The only caveat - you must drive all rounds to remain valid. Missing a round will cancel the membership, reverting you back to Driver Membership only.

Special Offers for Interstate Drivers

Interstate drivers competing in our events can access discounted practice sessions and other benefits. Email us at president@driftingsa.com.au for details.
