Drift Academy International

Drift Academy International runs public drift‑school courses and test days at Meremere Drift Park, New Zealand’s purpose‑built drifting facility. Courses range from introductory two‑to‑three‑hour sessions to multi‑day advanced programs with instructor coaching and in‑car tuition.

Expect helmeted, instructor‑led laps in prepared drift cars, certificates on completion, and regular scheduled event days (including test days) at the Dragway Road venue. Safety gear and some circuit rules are enforced for passengers and drivers.

On arrival you sign in, get fitted with a helmet/overalls if required and receive a safety briefing.

What you'll do:

• Short classroom briefing on technique and safety.
• Instructor‑led runs with an instructor onboard for hands‑on guidance.
• Multiple drift sessions to practise entries, transitions and throttle control.
• Certificate and debrief at the end of the session.

Best way to experience it:
Book the beginner Drift 101 session (2–3 hours) for a focused introduction, arrive early for vehicle assignment and bring sturdy closed shoes; heavier courses and test‑day entry options are available if you want more seat time.

• Bring closed shoes and a long‑sleeve top; helmets and overalls provided for many courses.
• Phone +64 222 555 888 or email info@driftacademy.co.nz for event-specific questions.
• Test day entry and course dates are scheduled in advance; arrive early for sign‑in.
• Passengers may face additional roll‑cage or safety restrictions on certain runs.
