Do I need a driver license for a first drift class?

No. The track is closed and private. We only ask for your ID or passport for the circuit contract.

What if I get dizzy during the class?

It is rare but it happens. We stop, you step out, drink water, and we resume when you feel fine. The trickiest phase is the acclimatization while the instructor drives; almost no one gets dizzy once they are driving themselves. If you are prone to motion sickness, eat light beforehand and let us know.

Is there a weight or height limit to drive?

There are no hard limits. The BMW E36 has a factory seat and an adjustable seatbelt. From 1.90 m the position starts getting tight but is still drivable. If you weigh over 130 kg, we talk beforehand to make sure the seat fits you comfortably.

Do I need to bring gloves?

Not mandatory. The steering wheel is leather and does not slip. If you have thin driving gloves, bring them if they give you confidence.

What if I cannot pull off the drift?

In the vast majority of classes it happens within the first 10 minutes of driving. If it does not work the first time, the instructor adjusts: changes the acceleration point, moves you to a more favorable corner, or re-explains the exact moment. The class does not end until you have drifted at least once under control.

Can I bring a companion?

Yes, they can come and watch from the side of the track. The class is individual: one student, one instructor, one car. If two friends come to take a class, each one gets their own separate session.

Your First Drift Class: What to Expect (Minute by Minute)

By Dmitrii McCarthy

Your first drift class: what to expect

This article is currently available in Spanish. A native English version is coming soon. Quick summary: the Drift Intro (30 min, $300 USD) is the standard entry point. The 30 minutes break down into a 10-minute briefing outside the car, 5 minutes of acclimatization with the instructor driving, and 15 minutes of you driving with the instructor in the passenger seat. The first controlled drift happens within the first 10 minutes of driving in the vast majority of classes. No prior experience or driver's license needed — the track is closed and private, with the instructor in the passenger seat every lap. Included: helmet, fuel, tyres, a fire extinguisher per regulations, and a damages contract. The car is a BMW E36 328i prepared for drift (locked differential, dialed suspension) with a tidy stock cabin and factory seatbelt.

For the full minute-by-minute breakdown, what you will feel physically, common beginner mistakes, and how the safety system works — see the Spanish version of this article or message us on WhatsApp.
