Designed as an introduction to the art of drifting, this experience offers the perfect balance of exhilaration, skill building and unforgettable storytelling moments.

Your day begins with a comprehensive safety briefing before meeting the instructors and settling into a purpose built drift car. From there, you’ll learn the fundamentals, understanding vehicle feel, mastering controlled slides and building confidence with every manoeuvre. As the session progresses, techniques become more refined, allowing you to experience the thrill of drifting from the driver’s seat with expert guidance at every turn. The day concludes with a short Driftkhana course, where you’ll combine everything learned into one final, heart pounding run.
