Thats a wrap on another weekend of drift lessons. Many many many tyres & litres of fuel burnt.

Thank you to each and every person that came down for a lesson, its always a pleasure to welcome new faces into our wonderful sport and of course help familiar faces improve their skills to the next level! Seeing the happy faces getting out of the cars will never ever get old.

Last but definitely not least thank you to our amazing team & everyone else who helps out for all their hard work that makes it all possible and enjoyable at that!

See you all again in October to burn even more tyres 💙

Have a POV snippet at one of our beginner drift lessons 👀

Everybody who drifts started in the same place. A wobbly first donut, far too much steering, spinning constantly.

From there it's a ladder. Seven grades, Beginner up to Pro Vet. Our mentors grade your ability and help you improve your skills to progress to the next level.

And each grade means something real. Pro 2 for example is a competition layout scoring 65 or more. Pro is 85 plus, fluid and aggressive. Pro Vet is Drift Masters level, as good as the mentors teaching you.

You move up when you've earned it, at your own pace and take it as far as you want to go.
