Is the drift taxi ride optional?
The drift taxi ride is a core part of the experience, designed to help you understand what a drift should feel like before you drive.
What happens if it rains?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining a drift angle
Focus on your throttle modulation. If the car is straightening out, you may need to apply more power or adjust your steering lock.
Spinning out frequently
Reduce your entry speed and be more gradual with your steering inputs. Consult your instructor to check if you are braking too late.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Participants must arrive on time for the initial 30-minute safety briefing, as late arrivals may miss critical instructions and be barred from driving. While no prior professional racing experience is required, a valid driving license is generally expected for track-based driving experiences. Wear flat-soled, comfortable footwear to ensure you can feel the pedals accurately during the drifting maneuvers. It is recommended to listen closely to the instructors regarding car care and maintenance during your laps; avoid aggressive maneuvers that deviate from the training protocols to ensure the vehicle remains operational throughout the session.
