Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a safety briefing covering all aspects of the cars and the track you are about to drive on for this great Drifting experience! Once briefed, you'll drive a BR Racing RST Rally Academy training car with an experienced instructor by your side. You’ll be learning clutch control, steering and braking in order to become familiar with the controls of the car. Once you are comfortable with the vehicle’s characteristics, you will then learn the basic skills of drifting, including a powerslide and a Scandinavian flick. You will spend time developing your newly found skills to increase the precision and finesse that this unique sport requires. You will be having two driving sessions with the instructor on a one-2-one basis. Your instructor will mark your skills and give you feedback at the end of your driving sessions to allow your skills to develop after your experience and into the future. Your experience ends with a debrief and certificate presentation.
