So How Does It Work?

There’s a certain characteristic common among the members, an underlying tendency towards out-and-out lunacy and our specialist instructors (completely unhinged) will encourage you to explore this dark art of motorsport.

The back-to-back driving progression from BMW to Nissan should cement your drifting ability and build an understanding of two very different vehicle set-ups.

The fastest drift experience in the UK – progress from the very basics to third gear drifts on a purpose built, low friction track.

The two different cars you will be driving have proven drift ability, becoming vehicles of choice for many drifters (our own staff included):

Your first set of laps will be in the Custom-Mapped Hybrid Turbo powered BMW Drift Taxi – which provides a colossal 550NM of torque making it easy to spin up the rear wheels and initiate the drift. The long wheel base chassis aids the driver while transitioning the slide lock to lock making it the perfect car to learn how to drift. Having been used competitively across the globe with a massive catalogue of bolt-on modifications and upgrades.

After completing your first set of laps in the BMW, step up to the JDM favourite – 3.5 litre V6 powered Nissan 350z making this the weapon of choice for Formula D and D1 Drift champions leaving huge trails of smoke and burnt rubber in their tracks.  See your drifting skill develop from basic initiation all the way to huge power slides and linking transitions

Nissan 350z

Featuring in films like Tokyo Drift, the 350z has become many driver’s dream drift car. Their incredibly powerful 3.5l v6 makes getting a slide going very easy, especially on our wet track – making you feel like a real pro. Unlike the Mx5s you can be lazy on the power and hold it at lower revs whilst absolutely ripping the rear wheels round the track. Thanks to the increase in power and longer wheel base the 350z is much more forgiving than the mx5 which allows you to understand the basics of holding a beautiful looking drift.

BMW E90 Drift Taxi

Our Custom-Mapped Hybrid Turbo powered BMW Drift Taxi – which provides a colossal 550NM of torque making it easy to spin up the rear wheels and initiate the drift. The long wheel base chassis aids the driver while transitioning the slide lock to lock making it the perfect car to learn how to drift. Having been used competitively across the globe with a massive catalogue of bolt-on modifications and upgrades.
