About Drift Collective
Drift Collective is a driver-focused collaboration between Drifting SA, Drift League and Keep It Reet, created to deliver a high-quality drift event built on what works best at a state level.
By aligning competition structure, judging and key regulations - while still allowing each partner to bring their own flair - Drift Collective offers a national-style competition experience, run locally, with a strong emphasis on driving standards and event quality.
This event runs a 265 radial tyre class, bridging the gap between grassroots 235 radials and higher-end classes, keeping the focus on technical driving, close battles and driver skill.
Layout:
Full Weekend of Drift
While Drift Collective will run as a standalone Saturday feature event (9am-8pm), drivers can choose to extend it into a full weekend of drifting with:

Competition Drivers
For advanced drivers (L1/national level), with strong experience for battling for the top spot.
Expression Session Drivers
For experienced drivers wanting maximum track time and the chance to put on a show. (Includes morning practice with Competition drivers, dedicated sessions between battle sessions - approximately 4 hours of total track time across the day).
