Overview

Why buy from us?

The relatively new sport of drifting is going from strength to strength to become arguably one of the most exciting forms of four-wheeled fun around the globe, with the ability to captivate large audiences due to its daredevil, freestyle version of motorsport.

The novice to semi-pro thrill experience gives you more time behind the wheel, in 1 x 5-minute session, followed by another 10-minute session, with an additional circuit to learn more advanced techniques.
