Drifting SA

Drifting SA is a volunteer, not-for-profit club running drift schools, practice days and state-level competitions at The Bend and Mallala Motorsport Park. Events cater to beginners (Learn2Drift hire car sessions) through to competition classes (L1 & L2).

Events include spectator access and driver-entry options; vehicle requirements and standing regulations are published on their site. Entries and tickets are released about four weeks before each event, and membership offers discounted entry.

At events you'll either be a spectator watching sequential drifting runs or a participant taking part in timed practice, freestyle sessions or structured drift school lessons.

Typical session

• Spectators watch multiple runs from track-side viewing areas with intermittent on-track action.
• Learn2Drift hire car sessions let novices try drifting in an instructor-managed car (prebooked).
• Practice and freestyle days are open to competent drivers who meet vehicle and safety rules.
• Competition rounds follow class categories (L1 & L2) with judge-scored runs and podiums.

Plan to book driver entries or spectator tickets as soon as they're released; read the published vehicle requirements and standing regulations before attending.
