Training

Q: What can I expect in a drift training program?
A. First, the drift instructor will take you for a demonstration lap, to showcase the capabilities of the car and what you can achieve as a drifter. Then, they will begin with giving you a brief about the car control, racing lines, throttle modulation, and counter-steering techniques. Following which, you'll spend significant time on the drift track, practising and refining your drifting skills behind the wheel. Throughout multiple sessions, you'll enhance your car control and learn to execute smooth drifts through corners.

Q. What is the minimum age for training?

Q: Can you train me in my own rear-wheel-drive car instead of yours?
A: Drifting involves pushing a car to its limits, causing significant wear and tear. This not only reduces the lifespan of your car but also incurs additional costs for tire replacements. Our all-inclusive package ensures you don’t have to worry about damaging your personal vehicle. However, once you learn a few techniques, you can opt for Arrive & Drift or Balola Club Membership, where you can bring your own RWD car and rent the track from us. This doesn’t include training, fuel, or tires.
