Drifting Experience

Drifting Experience

Drifting has burst onto the motor world scene in recent years with a great number of followers enjoying what has become one of the coolest motor sports. The sport requires a large amount of skill and technique to master, but with the correct tuition and facilities is easily achievable. The power and weight ratios are key as you shift the car around and through corners, using the over and under steer techniques to your advantage. This great Drifting experience will get you in and involved in this amazing driving sport, and hopefully ignite a new passion for a lifetime!

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a safety briefing covering all aspects of the cars and the track you are about to drive on for this great Drifting experience! Once briefed, you'll drive a BR Racing RST Rally Academy training car with an experienced instructor by your side. You’ll be learning clutch control, steering and braking in order to become familiar with the controls of the car. Once you are comfortable with the vehicle’s characteristics, you will then learn the basic skills of drifting, including a powerslide and a Scandinavian flick. You will spend time developing your newly found skills to increase the precision and finesse that this unique sport requires. You will be having two driving sessions with the instructor on a one-2-one basis. Your instructor will mark your skills and give you feedback at the end of your driving sessions to allow your skills to develop after your experience and into the future. Your experience ends with a debrief and certificate presentation.
