Australia Day Drift Festival - Sydney Motorsport Park

[JET200]

The ad sais it all but essentially there is a few parts to the event.

1 - Just Car Insurance Australian Drifting Grand Prix Top-16 Invitational
This is a exhibition competition with 16 of Australia's best drifters. They will practice and qualify during the day and the competition will be held at dusk between 6pm-8pm. The new South Circuit layout will provide smoke bellowing door-todoor battles.

2 - South Circuit Launch Bash
The South Circuit layout at Sydney Motorsport Park was never intended to be the perfect drift track, but it turned out that way, and the ARDC has now decided to allow drifting on the course, and this is the best way to celebrate. The three NSW drift clubs and ADGP have 15 spots each to invite drivers to be the first to drive the track. It's essentially an open practice, but with some of the best from NSW and around Austrlaia on track, their will be plenty of entertainment. We will also be organising various grudge matches to hold in between the ADGP Top-16 rounds, including people's choice.

If you are interested in drifting the South Circuit, you need to contact Driftmob, DriftNSW, Driving Sports or ADGP
