About Drift Australia
Who is Drift Australia
Drift Australia is sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor sport (CAMS) as the official Australian Drift Championship.
What is Drift?
Drifting is an 'extreme' sport.
Judged. Not just about who crosses the finish line first.
Drift competition consists of a series of elimination rounds in which two drivers at a time, slide their cars, side-by-side through a short course of just 3 or 4 corners.
A tandem 'drift battle' consists of two runs with each car taking a turn to lead.
A panel of judges assess the relative car control demonstrated by each driver by awarding points according to judging criteria.
Each 'battle', the judges choose a winner who progresses to the next round of eliminations.
Drift Australia competitions start with a round of 32, which then becomes a round of 16, then 8, 4, and 2 to determine the ultimate winner.
