Drifting downunderDrifting downunder

During my recent visit to Australia I did have the chance to go drift at a local training event.
It was at Archerfield, just outside of Brisbane. A go kart track where they drift every Thursday evening.

Here you can see the track. A rather small but technical layout, mostly in 2nd gear.

Something like this is awesome for grassroots drifting. Everybody can join for just 65 AUD.
So cars started to come in.

I also had the chance to drive with a rental PS13.
Good fun.

 

Then more and more cars came in until the whole pits were fully crowded.

There was a broad range of cars.
From rather lightly modified cars like this Onevia

To more abused cars like this R32

To straight up beater cars like this Holden (Opel over here)

There was also a small crowd present

The practice heated up and people started get closer during the tandems

The whole event was really relaxed for people to drop by and have some fun.
Something we really need out here to build a foundation for drifting.

Thanks to Luke Fink for setting me up with a rental car.
