'SUPER' DRIFT SCHOOL (9AM to 1.30PM)
Our "bring your own car" Drift School at Mallala is a SUPER School that suits everyone from Beginners to more Experienced drivers wanting to improve their sills!
Super School will take place across both the Main Track and the Skidpan, with instructors available to jump in the car with you or give tips.
9am to 11.45am:
- The Skidpan will be wet for Donuts and Figure 8s for those new to drifting.
- For intermediate/experienced drivers or those that have progressed beyond figure 8s, Main Track will be broken down into 4 different exercises: including reverse southerns, northerns back'n'forth, small peanut track, and the esses.
Tandems are allowed and encouraged for those willing to try!
Drivers can move through all exercises as they please!
12.15pm to 1.30pm
All School Drivers will then have a chance to put their new skills to the test on the Full Main Track! (Skidpan will remain open for Donuts & Figure 8s during this time).
