Big thanks to Giuvani for awesome tips and tricks of the trade. Would absolutely recommend.
If you're considering it as a gift or for yourself, just do it.
To take the best from the lessons I would recommend the following:
- remember, that throttle control is extremely important, much more than the steering.
- mind that sessions are quite short, you won't have that many attempts. Basically you will have 4 rides each one around 10-25 mins.
- stick to *one* car (which can be hard! Many very cool cars are available!). Limited in time, it's better not to waste precious attempts to get used to a new car but be focused on the technique
- Japanese cars usually lighter, better at steering but more touchy on the throttle due to turbo (especially GT86). Ford and Holden are quite heavy, much more insertia, not very good at steering, but very easy with the throttle control. My personal choice was GT86, it is not easy but very rewarding and challenging.
Finally, I believe that the fact that you have lots of breaks between sessions is a good thing. You can do some reflections: think over what you have done right and wrong. The cycle "try - analyse - try - ..." is generally a very good concept in learning anything. Much better than just non-stop trying without having a break.
I more than recommend if you want to get started in drifting but don't have a car yet. Or you want to decide whether you need that hobby in your life or not. I had some experience in drifting before (ice drifting and sim-drfiting, all that helped). But some people came without any experience and they managed to do well - nice instructors over there! If you have doubts deciding, just go there ????
The team at drift school let us choose vehicle preferences to ensure we were all able to drive the vehicles best suited to our likes and experience.
A huge thank you to all the boys at drift school and a shout out to Giovanni for the laughs we had during instruction….
If you’re thinking of giving this a go…. Just do it …… It’s a blast.
A special thanks to the instructors Giovanni and Lindan who made all the difference. Scottie the organiser was excellent in managing the day and ensuring everyone was having a good time.
If you're new to drifting and want to give it a go or even brush up on some skills, they cater to all levels of drifters.
The instructors have alot of patience and dedication to the sport so they can really empathise with the participating drivers.
I highly recommend giving it a go!!!!!
it was a very good experience. Did the hand-break, donuts and figure 8. As well as the hot lap.
Next time it will be the next drifting level.
The Parts I didn't enjoy
1. The lack of organisation throughout the day a lot of standing around not wanting to duck over to the toilet in case you missed your turn!
2. Drift School would suggest being in the car to LEARN but each of the 3 sessions in the car had a time limit of 3 minutes (meaning a total time of 9 minutes in the car for the 101 class)
3. D.J's (the hosts) attitude It wasn't nice hearing him say to someone doing the Masterclass (Right in front of me) "we just like to get these 101 guys cleared out so we can really get into it" Made me feel great after spending $450 for a 9 minute drive.
A head's up for anyone booking It is all on a wet track also. So Don't expect Smoke
I have wanted to do this experience for many years now and finally flew from Tasmania to Sydney to do it and have left very disappointed.
On a lovely sunny Sunday morning we smoked the tyres at Sydney Motorsport Park. It was a great experience made even better by friendly, attentive and well coordinated staff. Thanks heaps DJ and all your staff.
Thought the day was well run and enjoyed the experience.
I personally struggled to drift around the cone, the instructor was very good in walking you through the process.
I thoroughly enjoyed the passenger experience with the professional drivers.
These guys are so skilled in drifting it was amazing.
If you are into drifting or interested in the experience it is a must do
