Get ready for a huge morning, afternoon or full day at QR Playground - and a chance to get signed off for your MAIN TRACK LICENCE! Test your car control across a full day of open drifting suited to every skill level. The morning kicks off with a beginner-friendly layout to introduce newcomers and warm up the more experienced, before the afternoon switches to a faster, more technical layout for big sends and advanced coaching. Beginners, intermediates and advanced drivers are all welcome across every session, with runs done solo or in tandems of your choosing. An instructor will be on hand throughout the day for anyone wanting guidance, or just jump in with your mates and drift for the fun of it. Tandems welcome, no noise restrictions - just a solid day shredding tyres on great layouts with plenty of challenges thrown in. Spots are capped to guarantee maximum seat time - no long waits for track access or sharing the circuit with a huge field. Can't make the whole day? Half-day bookings are available for either the morning or afternoon session, though a full day is strongly recommended. Because of the track layout and licence requirements, Drift Licences are only issued to drivers running the afternoon session - if you're still after your licence, this is the only way to earn one, which helps ensure everyone on the main track looks after it so we can keep drifting at QR long-term. Multiple layouts with a start and finish line will run throughout the day, giving you variety to build your skills and get the most track time possible. Splitting the car with another driver? Second Driver spots are available on the day, but note that's still just one booked space shared between two - alternatively you can book two separate spaces online. Running on the QR Drift Playground from 08:30 to 17:00 with a 30-minute lunch break, gates open at 07:00 for morning/full-day sessions, or by 12pm for the afternoon session - head to the Skid Control staff to sign in. AN AASA LICENCE IS NOW REQUIRED FOR ALL DRIVERS AT THIS EVENT! All cars welcome, no rego needed. Vehicles must be safe, leak-free, and fitted with working seatbelts and seats - please present your car in respectable condition. All panels must be fitted (soft-tops/convertibles need to stay closed unless roll-over protection is fitted), along with lights and windows (¾ closed recommended); clean bash bars are permitted. Exhaust must exit behind the B-pillar with a muffler recommended; any screamer/blow-off valve should vent towards the ground or ideally be plumbed back into the exhaust. Batteries must be securely mounted with terminals fully taped or covered. Maximum 2 spectators per car. Only one front-seat passenger per vehicle. Passengers must be at least 7 years old and tall enough to sit in the front seat without a booster. Drivers 16+ welcome (unlicensed/learner drivers need an experienced passenger; underage experienced track drivers aged 14+ may attend by prior arrangement with Skid Control). Closed shoes and seatbelts are mandatory for all participants, with arms kept inside the vehicle at all times. Helmets meeting Australian or European safety standards are required for all drivers and passengers. Full-length clothing is required for drivers and passengers (wrist to toe covered, no gaps at waist or ankle, no tears). No drifting on the wheel rims - if a tyre pops, stop and drive slowly back to the pits. Standstill burnouts aren't permitted; this is a drift day, not a burnout comp. Arranged tandems are fine, but any intentional contact between cars will end tandem privileges for those involved - rubbing is acceptable, but body damage, wall hits and crashes are not. Good tyres, brakes, fluids and a fire extinguisher are strongly recommended. No loud music or hooning outside the track areas - anyone caught fooling around outside the designated zones will be removed from the venue immediately, no exceptions. No dogs or other pets on site. No alcohol or drugs on the premises. Please note that while our clubhouse has seating and toilets, food and drinks aren't sold on-site, so bring your own. Right of admission is reserved, and staff may remove anyone breaching these or any on-the-day rules, without refund.
