FAQ
Everything about your drift class, no fine print
In short: you drive a BMW E36 with the instructor beside you, 30 minutes for 300 USD (≈ $504.000 ARS) or 60 minutes for 500 USD (≈ $840.000 ARS), at El Picódromo (Esteban Echeverría). Classes Monday to Thursday, 18+ only, no licence or experience needed. Booking is on WhatsApp; full details below.
Can you do it?

Do I need previous experience?
No. Our packages are designed for all levels. The instructor guides you step by step, from the very basics to advanced drift techniques.
Do I need a driving license?
No. The class is on a private, closed circuit, not on public roads, so no license or permit is required. It does not matter if you never got one, it expired, or it is from another country: you can still drive.
Can I drift if I only drive automatic?
Yes, no problem. Almost all of our students drive automatic cars day to day. The BMW E36 is manual, but the clutch is basically only used to set off: during the drift the car stays in a fixed gear and you work with the wheel and the throttle. The instructor explains everything at the start, and if you stall a couple of times, no big deal.
Are there age or health requirements?
For now it is 18+ only: until the car has dual instructor pedals we do not take minors, neither driving nor as passengers. The track is a private, closed circuit with no other vehicles or pedestrians. As for health, the activity is physically demanding: with heart conditions, epilepsy, recent neck injuries or pregnancy, check with your doctor first.
Is it safe? What if I lose control?
It is a motorsport and it carries risk; the class is set up to keep it in check. You drive on a private, closed track with no other cars or pedestrians, with a drift instructor riding beside you the whole time guiding you. You wear a helmet and you start slow and build up at your own pace. If at any point you want to stop, we stop: the class goes at your pace.
Do I need medical insurance? What if I get hurt?
Medical insurance is not included: like at any racetrack, bring your own cover (a health plan or insurance). Motorsport is a risk sport: before you drive you sign the Participant Form, with the safety briefing and your declaration of fitness, which is information and a conduct commitment, not a waiver of your rights. The risk is minimised: a closed track with no traffic, speeds of 20 to 50 km/h, a helmet and a drift instructor beside you. For anything minor there is a first-aid kit and first aid on site; for anything serious, an ambulance is called and you go to the nearest clinic.
Can I use my own car?
No. Classes are run in the school’s prepared BMW E36, built for this. With your own car the risk is real: you could end up going home on a tow truck. With the school car you take that worry off the table and focus 100% on learning.
On the day

Which days are classes held?
Monday to Thursday only, never on weekends. The booking calendar has Wednesdays from 10:00 to 17:00 and some Thursdays from 14:00 to 21:00 open: you pick a marked date and we confirm it on WhatsApp.
What do I need to bring?
Come in long trousers, a top with sleeves (no bare skin between your clothes and your shoes) and closed thin flat-soled sneakers, so you can feel the pedals well. Bring your ID or passport to sign the Participant Form. The car, helmet, tyres and fuel are on us.
How much will I actually be driving?
There is no fixed script: time at the wheel adapts to your level. If you start from zero, you spend more on the basics; if you already drive, you can do plenty of laps doing figure-eights. What you take home is the knowledge, not a lap count, and the difference between 30 and 60 minutes is how far you get.
What happens if it rains?
Even better! Drifting on a wet surface is easier and more fun. The class runs in any weather.
Price and payment

How much does it cost and how do I pay?
Drift Intro: 300 USD (≈ $504.000 ARS) (30 min on track). Drift Experience: 500 USD (≈ $840.000 ARS) (60 min; the hour can also be shared, 2 people × 30 min for the same price). Pro Driver Pack: 2000 USD (≈ $3.360.000 ARS) (5 sessions of 60 min). Prices are in US dollars; if you pay in pesos, the P2P dollar rate of the day applies. You book your date with a 50% deposit by transfer or by card through Mercado Pago; the balance is paid on class day at the track, in cash (USD or pesos), by transfer at the P2P rate, in USDT (Tron/Polygon) or by card through Mercado Pago, same price whichever you use. Gift vouchers, instead, are paid in full when you buy them.
Is there a discount for the first class?
Yes: with the code PRIMERA10 you get 10% off your first class. You apply it when you arrange the date on WhatsApp.
Cancellation, changes and damage

Can I cancel my booking or request a refund?
Yes. Since you buy at a distance, you have 10 calendar days to withdraw and we refund 100% (with at least 24 hours notice before the class). And if you just want to move the date, you do it free with 48 hours notice: the payment moves to the new date. With less than 48 hours, or if you do not show up, the deposit covers the track rental already committed; if your slot is filled by another participant, the deposit is credited in full to the new date. (Legal basis: Law 24.240, art. 34.)
What happens if I damage the car?
It is very unlikely: the instructor is beside you the whole time and the track is private and closed, with no other cars. Normal wear (tyres, brake pads, fuel) is already included in the price, so you do not worry about that. For full transparency, the contract you accept via WhatsApp when booking includes a reference table with parts prices (Annex 1), no surprises: if something breaks due to a manoeuvre outside the instructions of the instructor, you pay only the damage actually caused and proven; the table is a reference, not a fine. Note that standard car insurance does not cover track use, which is why everything is spelled out in the contract.
Gift voucher

How does the drift gift voucher work?
The voucher is paid in full by bank transfer or by card through Mercado Pago, same price, and sent by WhatsApp 5 to 15 minutes after the payment clears; the recipient pays nothing more. It is a formal message with the recipient name, the package and the 12 month validity. The buyer delivers it however they prefer (screenshot or printed) and the recipient arranges the date with us when ready, within 12 months.
Does the voucher have an expiry date?
Yes: 12 months from purchase, a full year to pick the date. Need to move the date? Free with 48 hours notice. With less than 48 hours, only the track cost already committed and not recovered is retained; if your slot is filled by another participant, the full credit moves to the new date.
Is the voucher transferable to someone else?
Yes, once, to any other person: just let us know by WhatsApp before booking the date and the slot passes to the new name, keeping the package and the 12 month validity.
Groups, spectators and getting there

How many people can take part?
Each person gets their own 1-on-1 session with the instructor, so you make the most of your time at the wheel instead of taking turns. If you come as a group, we line up back-to-back sessions so you can watch and film each other. Message us on WhatsApp and we set up the schedule.
Can I bring friends to watch?
Yes! Up to 3 people can come along as spectators. There is a designated safe area with a good view of the track.
How do I get to the track?
The track is El Picódromo, Av. Olimpo 80, Esteban Echeverría (south of Greater Buenos Aires), about 40 minutes from Buenos Aires city. Location on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Wc6edGAhDxve8WBw7
How do I book?
You choose the package, message us on WhatsApp and we set the date among the open ones in the calendar (Monday to Thursday only). You book with the 50% deposit by transfer or by card through Mercado Pago and pay the rest at the track on class day. If it is a gift, the voucher is paid in full and arrives 5 to 15 minutes after the payment clears.
