drifting?

Post by brad_gpx »

im wondering if there are any drifting places in the sydney/newcastle area?

like the kind where you would go and an instructor would teach you the basics and you thrash his car around for an hour or two and go home

so sorta like a stunt driving school, but one that is less serious and more focused on having a good time

Edit: Looks as though you've picked a bad time to get interested in it...a lot of bad press recently has even halted project D drift days.

check this out. Heres a scanned copy of the leaflet which i got at superlap. one of my friend is an instructor there. basically, you just drive to the track and use their drift prepped cars.
