  We split the day into two different sessions - Drift School in the morning, then an afternoon Open Skidpan for intermediate/advanced drivers! Both Drift School and Skidpan now at capacity and sold out, please join the waitlist.
  

  DRIFT SCHOOL (9AM to 1PM) - SOLD OUT - JOIN WAITLIST

  • Bring your own car, with instructors on hand to jump in the car with you or provide advice from outside!
  • 9AM - 11:30AM: 3 Different Courses on the Skidpan - Wet Courses includes Donuts and Figure 8's, while a Dry Course includes a corner for practicing entries, transitions and tandems!
  • 11.30am to 12 Noon - Lunch break
  • 12:00PM - 1:00PM: Skidpan is converted to an Open Full Track for Drift School Participants to try 1 hour in our Meihan replica layout (dry), with a maximum 6 cars on track at once - a great way to practice your new techniques and just get used to being on track with others!

  Maximum 24 drivers.

  Participants can also choose to enter the Skidpan Session in the afternoon if they have a minimum of intermediate experience, but we recommend booking in advance as we can't upgrade you on the day if spots are sold out.

  BEGINNER
  Beginners are new to drifting and/or may still be learning the basics such as entries and linking corners. BEGINNERS MUST DO SCHOOL ONLY.

Tandems are allowed, no cage is required, passengers are allowed with or without a cage. This is a mixed group with 8 cars on track at once, hence we cannot have beginners who are spinning.
