Master Your Own Machine - BYOC Private Drift Lesson

The ultimate personalized drift experience in your own car

Whether you’re stepping into drifting for the first time or chasing competition precision, BYOC (Bring Your Own Car) Private Coaching gives you dedicated 1:1 training in your own drift car.

You’ll drive a full competition-style drift course under the guidance of a professional instructor, learning at your pace — from mastering throttle control and car balance to refining clipping points, entry techniques, and line driving. Each session is tailored completely to you and your car, building confidence, control, and flow with every lap.

Perfect for both first-time drifters wanting to safely learn in their own setup and experienced drivers looking to sharpen their skills, develop consistency, and tune their car for real track performance.

Available as a 2 Hour Session, half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) private sessions.

Your car. Your pace. Your personal drift coach.

Direct, one-to-one instruction from a professional drifter. Every run is reviewed and adjusted in real time to help you make fast, measurable progress.

Competition-Style Track Layout

Train on a proper drift course featuring fast entries, multiple transitions, and clipping points — the same layout style used in real events.

Custom Lesson Plan

Your coaching is built entirely around your goals — whether that’s first-time control, transitions, line precision, or advanced techniques like left-foot braking, snappy transitions, and adjusting angle through throttle modulation.

Instructor Demonstrations

Optional instructor demonstration laps in your car (where suitable) to show the line, rhythm, and flow before you take over.

Feedback & Analysis

Breakdowns between runs covering throttle control, weight transfer, car setup, and technique improvements.

Trackside Support

Guidance on setup and tuning — tyre pressures, alignment feedback, and drift-specific adjustments.

Session Media

Photos and video highlights from your lesson uploaded to a private Google Drive folder for review and sharing.

All Facilities Provided

Access to the NDA paddock, refreshments throughout the day, and full instructor support.

What You’ll Learn

Every driver’s session is fully personalised - but the path to progression follows a clear flow. From car setup and basic control to consistent, competition-style drifting, you’ll build precision, confidence, and understanding of how your car truly behaves on track.

Step 1 – Car Setup & Driver Familiarisation

Start with your car. Your instructor will assess your setup - tyres, pressures, alignment, and seating position - ensuring the car is predictable and suited to your skill level. You’ll learn how setup changes affect grip, angle, and control before heading out.

Step 2 – Fundamental Car Control

Get comfortable with your car’s balance and feedback. You’ll begin with throttle and steering control exercises, progressing into donuts and controlled slides. The goal is smooth, repeatable control - understanding how your car reacts to every input.

Step 3 – Linking Drifts & Transitions

Once control is solid, you’ll move on to transitions. Learn how to link corners, adjust timing between transitions, and carry consistent angle through direction changes. Your instructor will tailor the track layout to your pace and comfort.

Step 4 – Advanced Drift Technique

Develop real-world control tools - using left-foot braking to adjust line, throttle modulation to vary angle, and hydro use to reset position mid-drift. You’ll learn how to manipulate transitions to be smoother or snappier depending on course flow.

Step 5 – The Perfect Qualifying Lap

Bring it all together. Drive the full layout with rhythm, speed, and accuracy, hitting clipping points and maintaining a clean line from start to finish. The session ends with feedback based on qualifying criteria - speed, line, angle, and style - so you know exactly where you stand as a driver.

On the Day

Your BYOC day is all about focused driving, professional feedback, and getting the most from your own car in a proper drift environment.

Arrival & Setup

You’ll arrive at the NDA paddock, check in, and unload your car into the pits. Once parked, your instructor will complete a quick safety and setup check — tyres, seat, harness, fluids, and pressures — before walking you through the day’s plan.

Track Walk & Briefing

Before engines start, you’ll go over the course layout together. Your instructor will highlight clipping points, transition zones, and line targets. Beginners will start with a simpler course; experienced drivers will use the full competition layout.

Driving Sessions

Each hour includes up to three 10-minute driving runs, followed by hands-on feedback between each. Your instructor will review your line, car control, and setup to keep progression steady. Whether you’re learning to drift your first donut or chasing a perfect qualifying lap, every session is adjusted to your pace.

Instructor Demonstrations

If desired, your instructor can demonstrate techniques in your car or from the passenger seat — showing you firsthand how to balance throttle, set angle, or carry speed through transitions.

Trackside Analysis

Between runs, you’ll review GoPro footage, discuss entry points, and refine your setup — tyre pressures, grip levels, or steering feel — to get the best from both car and driver.

The Paddock Atmosphere

Even in private sessions, you’ll be part of the NDA paddock. Chat with instructors, watch live drifting, and soak up the same community energy that defines every Academy day.

End of Session

Your day ends with a full debrief — covering your progress, technical improvements, and next-step recommendations. You’ll leave with new confidence, a sharper understanding of your car, and the feeling of real drift progression.
