Highlights

Learn to get sideways well before the corner!
Learn moderate drifting techniques
Supervision by Aussie Drift Championship drivers

This action-packed package is our mid-level drifting experience, suitable for beginners. This experience will have you learning key techniques to initiate, control and form the drift to set the car up completely sideways before the corner and continue through the corner to form a flowing drift.

What's included?

Technique 1 - Drift Handbrake Entry: Learn how to initiate the drift. Four hands-on attempts.
Technique 2 - Drift Donut: Learn how to control the drift by utilising steering input and throttle control. Three minutes of hands-on experience.
Technique 4 - Drift Entry: Combine techniques to form a full flowing drift. Four hands-on attempts on our mini track.
Drift Battle Hot Laps: Ride with our professional competitive drifters where they battle side by side with each other over Two Laps - One in the 'lead lap' and another one in the 'chase lap'
Professional photography throughout the course.

After a briefing on general drifting principals and safety, you will be strapped in alongside with professional instructors to show you how it’s done, before you take the wheel yourself to learn and perfect techniques including handbrake turns, drift donuts and drift entries. The goal for the day is to teach you the techniques to have the car set up completely sideways, well before the corner and maintaining a full drift around the turn. Next up prepare for a hair-raising drifting experience as you are strapped in with D1 World All Star & Drift Australia Champion, Fernando Wiehrl, as he and another professional competition drifter will take you on a thrill ride of your life in a real, head-to-head drift battle!

All cars are purpose built specifically for drifting to give you the full, raw experience. These include Nissan Skyline R32, Nissan Silvia S14, Nissan Silvia S15, Nissan 350z, Toyota 86, Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon. Learn to push these professional cars to the limit on a safe, track environment.

The website customer service is Poor

Jackie 25 December 2024

Customer service told me I don’t need to know how to drive a manual car to learn the drifting experience. Told otherwise when I got there. Be careful what you buy!

Drift Car Thrill Ride - 8 laps - Sydney

Tina 24 September 2023

This experience was fantastic for anyone who likes speed and a bit of adrenalin. The company was run efficiently, the drivers were a good blend of professional and a bit of banter, and overall I had a really great time.

Fast fun ride!

Lisa 28 August 2023

The 2 seater ride was fun. The car was much smaller than I imagined it would be. The track is not the most exciting to drive as it’s pretty much a square with a couple extra corners on one side. I’m around 5’5” and there was no where i could push my feet against to brace for the very hard and intense corner braking leaving me to only use my hands on a small metal handlebar. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and they were busy too. I would recommend to others.

The Drift experience was a blast!

Cassandra 7 August 2023

What an absolute adrenalin rush. The event was organised very well and I found all the staff to be extremely pleasant. The two drivers that took me out were friendly, very chatty and also just genuinely good fun. They made the experience a blast. I was a tad cautious, but ended up screaming, cheering and whooping the whole time. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Drift Car Thrill Ride was an awesome experience

Kimberly 7 August 2023

My boys had the best time, was really well run and ALL the staff were friendly and approachable, from the girl at check in to the drivers.
