Track Battle Pty Ltd is proud to announce the launch of Australia’s newest motor sport event, The Australian Drifting Grand Prix.
Australia has been lacking a full national drift series since 2008. The Australian Drifting Grand Prix is set to take drifting in Australia to a whole new level. Our management team has been in discussion with drivers, clubs and fans to find out what they really want from a national drift series and also what sort of budgets and rules the majority of teams can work within.
The key to growing the sport of drifting is affordability and exposure. We are aiming to provide un-paralleled levels of media exposure across all mediums, TV, DVD online and Print, while still remaining affordable for the teams, drivers, sponsors and fans. It’s a big ask but it needs to be done to support and grow the sport of drifting and time attack in Australia.
Drifting is a judged exhibition sport and we will be capitalising on this further to provide the best automotive entertainment in Australia, taking drifting from motorsport to “Extreme-Motorsport”. In short, each round will consist of practice and qualifying on day one, which anyone can enter, with the Top 32 Battles held on day two, the competition day.
The action is set to be high with new track layouts being used and the addition of some wall scraping, bank riding, tyre smoking action at the Calder Park Thunderdome. A custom built judging and commentary tower directly opposite the dedicated viewing areas means more interaction with the crowd and more entertainment.
There will also be a Top-16 drivers parade, and don’t worry, we wont be banning victory burnouts in the Australian Drifting Grand Prix!
Three events are locked in for 2011 before moving to a 5-Round series in 2012.
Calder Park Thunderdome, VIC – 24th and 25th of September 2011
Queensland Raceway, QLD – 15th and 16th of October 2011
