Can he take the class without a driving license?

Yes. The circuit is private and closed, so public-road rules do not apply: an ID is enough. You can gift the class even before he starts the license process.

Can an 18 or 21 year old girl take a drift class?

Yes, on the same terms: an ID or passport for the contract, no driver license or drift experience needed. Same car, same instructor, same price. The one thing that is not negotiable is age: 18 or older, and until the car has dual instructor pedals we do not take minors, neither driving nor as passengers.

He only drives simulators — will he manage a real car?

Yes. Simulator experience helps — he already knows countersteering and throttle control — and the one-on-one instructor does the rest: the class starts from zero and intensity rises only at the student's pace.

Can we come and watch as parents?

Yes: each student can bring up to 3 companions, who watch and film from a designated safe zone at the track.

How much does the 18th-birthday gift cost and what does it include?

Drift Intro: $300 USD (≈ $504.000 ARS) (30 minutes at the wheel). Drift Experience: $500 USD (≈ $840.000 ARS) (60 minutes — our pick for an 18th). Pro Driver Pack: $2000 USD (≈ $3.360.000 ARS) (5 sessions). Includes car, fuel, tyres and helmet. The voucher is paid in full when you buy it, by bank transfer (pesos at the day's P2P dollar rate), and the recipient pays nothing on class day.

How does the gift voucher arrive?

By WhatsApp, 5 to 15 minutes after the payment clears (the voucher is paid in full when you buy it and nothing else is paid on class day), perfect even if the birthday is tomorrow. It is valid for 12 months and can be transferred once to another person — just let us know on WhatsApp.

An 18th Birthday Gift for Your Son: Drifting in Buenos Aires

By Dmitrii McCarthy

An 18th birthday gift for your son: drifting in Buenos Aires

This article is currently available in Spanish. A native English version is coming soon. Quick summary: 18 is the trap birthday — sneakers are boring, cash evaporates, tech gets outdated. If your son lives and breathes cars (sim wheel on the desk, drift videos in his feed), the gift that beats them all is his first real time behind the wheel: a drift class in a prepared BMW E36 328i, rear-wheel drive, on a private closed track on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, one-on-one with a drift instructor riding shotgun. Key fact: no driving license is required — the circuit is private, an ID is enough — so you can gift it even before he passes his test. Sim-racing experience actually helps; reality still wins by a landslide. Parents can watch: each student brings up to 3 spectators. Prices: Drift Intro $300 USD (≈ $504.000 ARS) (30 min), Drift Experience $500 USD (≈ $840.000 ARS) (60 min — our pick for an 18th), Pro Driver Pack $2000 USD (≈ $3.360.000 ARS) (5 sessions). The digital voucher is paid in full by bank transfer when you buy it, arrives by WhatsApp 5 to 15 minutes after the payment clears and is valid 12 months; nothing else is paid on class day. For now it is 18+ only: until the car has dual instructor pedals we do not take minors, neither driving nor as passengers.
