A driving experience close to London, participate in some drifting to make life more enjoyable! Learn how to slide a car swiftly, precisely, and skilfully to participate in the motorsport that is sweeping the globe!

All abilities are invited and the day will start on a track specifically designed for drifting with qualified instructors who will encourage various sideways motions in the cars.

This drifting experience session contains a variety of difficult curves and a sequence of "Zen Garden Roundabouts" with slow and fast corners and lots of run-off to spin safely! Learn all you need to know about this fun activity and see which car can handle your drifts in this race of the drifting vehicles.

The first of the cars you’ll experience will be the Nissan 350Z. The 350z has evolved into many drift enthusiasts' ideal vehicle after appearing in films like Tokyo Drift.

Especially on a wet track, their tremendously strong 3.5l v6 makes starting a slide quite simple, making you feel like a real pro. You can sustain power at lower revs while still completely tearing the rear wheels around the track. The 350z increased power and larger wheel base enables you to learn the fundamentals of holding an attractive-looking drift.

Next up is the BMW with a whopping 550NM of torque, the custom-mapped hybrid turbo-powered BMW Drift Taxi makes it simple to spin up the rear wheels and start the drift. The ideal car to learn how to drift is one with a long wheelbase chassis, which helps the driver shift from slide lock to lock. Having a huge selection of add-on improvements and alterations, it has been utilised in competitions all over the world.
