Please join the waitlist for Main Track. Spots are now full in one group, we will review entries and release spots when available. Winterfest is a jam-packed freestyle event where you will get to enjoy multiple layouts on the Stadium Circuit across 2 days:
All levels of drivers catered for - see groups below!
BEGINNER - Still learning basics but not your first time - must enter Skidpan Only! You will have 6 on track at once. No cage required.
INTERMEDIATE - You must be able to confidently stay on track and link corners. This class is recommended for those looking to mostly do solo driving, but tandems are allowed for those wanting to learn. No cage is required. No trains. We may contact you to confirm your driving experience if you haven't progressed from one of our Drift School / Skidpan events.
EXPERIENCED - This class is recommended for those who have a bit more experience and want to tandem more. The run ups will be higher speeds. Cages and harnesses required.
No group changes will be permitted due to maximum capacity limits, so please enter the correct group. Passengers and tandems are allowed in all groups (with same driver/passenger requirements - see regulations below for exact details).
Roll Cages / Harnesses:Beginner/Intermediate: No roll cage required and standard seat belts are accepted, but OEM side intrusion beams are mandatory (which should be there unless you've removed them!).
