01 · The experience

What you'll learn

You will never forget this experience. Even with zero drifting experience, you will master steady circle driving by the end of the day, all while having fun.

Many advanced drifters join the session, so you can enjoy unlimited side-riding in thrilling chase runs.

Weight transfer and initiation. How weight shifts across the chassis under acceleration, braking and steering, and how to break the rear loose cleanly.

Donuts and circle drifting. Continuous circle drifting around a cone, balancing throttle with steering angle.

Figure-8 and transitions. Catching the car's inertia, counter-steering fast and flicking the chassis the other way.

Passenger chase runs. Ride with advanced drifters and feel tandem drifting from the inside.
