My dad is over 60 — can he take the class?

Yes. There is no upper age limit: the circuit is private and closed, and the class runs at the student's pace with the instructor alongside on every lap. The fitness required is the same as for regular street driving. House rule: if he wants to stop, we stop.

My dad has driven automatic all his life — will he manage?

Yes. The BMW E36 is manual, but the clutch is basically just for pulling away: in the slide you work the steering and throttle in a fixed gear, with the instructor guiding every step.

Can I come along and film my dad?

Yes: each student can bring up to 3 companions, who watch and film from a designated safe zone. Watching your dad drift is half the gift.

How much does the gift cost and what does it include?

Drift Intro: $300 USD (30 minutes at the wheel). Drift Experience: $500 USD (60 minutes at the wheel). Pro Driver course: $2000 USD (5 sessions). Everything includes car, fuel, tyres and helmet. You book with a 50% deposit by bank transfer; the rest is paid at the track on the day of the class, in cash (pesos or dollars) or by transfer. Pesos at the day's dólar P2P rate.

How does the gift voucher arrive and how long is it valid?

The digital voucher arrives via WhatsApp within 5 to 15 minutes of the 50% deposit (by bank transfer; the rest is paid at the track on the day of the class), ready to print or forward. It stays valid for 12 months and can be transferred once to another person, so dad picks his date at leisure.

What if the chosen date turns out not to work for him?

Rescheduling is free with 48 hours or more notice. Also, within 10 calendar days of purchase and giving 24 hours notice before the class, the statutory withdrawal right applies with a full refund (Argentine Law 24.240, art. 34).

A Gift for Dad Who Has Everything: Drifting in Buenos Aires

By Dmitrii McCarthy

A gift for dad who has everything: drifting in Buenos Aires

This article is currently available in Spanish. A native English version is coming soon. Quick summary: dads are the hardest people to buy for — they own everything and ask for nothing. The gift that actually lands: a drift class. He drives a prepared BMW E36 328i, rear-wheel drive, on a private closed track on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, one-on-one with a professional instructor riding shotgun on every lap. There is no upper age limit (we only ask for 18+) — the class runs at his pace, and "if he wants to stop, we stop". Automatic-only drivers manage fine: the clutch is basically just for pulling away. You can come along — each student brings up to 3 spectators — and film your father turning back into a 25-year-old. Prices: Drift Intro $300 USD (30 min), Drift Experience $500 USD (60 min), Pro Driver course $2000 USD (5 sessions). The digital gift voucher arrives via WhatsApp within 5-15 minutes of the 50% deposit (paid by bank transfer; the rest is paid at the track on the day of the class), stays valid 12 months and transfers once.
