Drift Republic – DRIFT OFF!
19 February, 2pm, Emirates Motorplex, Umm Al Quwain
The Drift Republic Crew have been racking our brains to come up with something new and exciting for the drift community.
We thought about drifting in a competitive and safe way… what we came up with is
DRIFT OFF
There will be 2 identical drift tracks running side by side. Drivers will be able to drift the track and see how they fair against their friends. Its not a race but then again if you both truly drifted the track, the driver who finished first probably drifted at a higher speed.
Drift Republic is a grassroots community which means beginners are welcome! Basic instructions will be given at the driver briefing but you can always ask for help. Members are available to help beginners learn the basics or to help advance you to a higher level.
Volunteers to help set up the track are ALWAYS welcome and needed to grow our drift community so if you are interested in helping, please message us.
All RWD cars are welcome to join us, whether stock or modified, with the exception of 4x4s and SUVs.
The cost per car will be AED200 if you attend the pre-event social and AED250 at the event.
Please don’t forget that helmets are compulsory, check out our rules and regulations.
