Morning Drift Sessions /Friday Nights

Friday Nights

Friday Night Drifts brings some of the best drivers in Queensland for a show of tyre smoke and engine noise while also giving beginners & new-comers the chance to get behind the wheel of their own car to put their driving to the test.

Queensland Raceway is the place to be on a Friday night with plenty of action for spectators and plenty of track time for drivers. Four events a year, with the drift playground set-up for amateur drivers to acquire their qualification, and the main track for experienced drifters.

You can run solo, or with a buddy! Line-up & have a go as many times as you like! Drift Playground will also be open all night!

  • Gates open from 4pm, On track from 6pm
  • Track closes 10pm

Morning Drift Sessions

Morning Drift Sessions offer drivers and spectators a more laidback event for experienced drivers, held about once a month.

Start lines are moved back to provide a better run up for those experienced who are chasing a faster entry.
