OUTLAW OCTOBER – Main Track Drift Practice

SATURDAY 4TH OCTOBER 2025

Our drift practice days are open for intermediate to advanced drifters. These events are a great ‘step-up’ for any drivers who are confident and have progressed their skills from the Backtrack Drift Tutoring days

Our Main Track Drift Practice events are also classified as Clubsport Basic events and are run under Manawatu Car Club’s Rules & Regulations – However due to the increased speed of the circuit course, vehicle and driver requirements are slightly different from Drift Tutoring events to ensure participants and event staff safety.
