Drift Cadet

Drift Cadet runs coached drift practice days, academy-style training and passenger drift demonstrations at Calder Park Raceway in Victoria. Sessions cater to drivers who bring their own car and to spectators booking ride-along experiences.

The operation also sells branded apparel and accessories online and appears at automotive events offering demonstrations and passenger rides. Events and formats range from coached training to open practice days.

Arrive at Calder Park Raceway for a hands-on drifting session or to watch demonstrations and passenger rides.

On-track sessions:

• Coached drift practice and skill-building sessions for drivers who bring a suitable car.
• Open practice days where drivers rotate on track in runs rather than full track hires.
• Instructor-led feedback and demonstration laps for learning technique.

Demonstrations & passenger rides:

• Drift demonstrations at shows and dedicated events; passenger rides are available at some events.
• Rides are typically short, high-intensity laps with an instructor.

Best way to experience it:

Book a coached practice day if you want structured instruction; attend a public demo day or event if you prefer to watch or book a passenger ride. Bring a race-ready, insured car for participant sessions and arrive early for briefing and safety checks.

• Sessions take place at Calder Park Raceway (377 Calder Fwy, Calder Park VIC).
• Drivers must bring a suitable, roadworthy car and insurance; expect mandatory safety briefings.
• Passenger rides and demonstrations are event-dependent; check date listings before you go.
• Merchandise and apparel are sold through the Drift Cadet online shop.
