Learning how to drift is an exhilarating process that combines skill, precision, and an in-depth understanding of vehicle dynamics. Maintaining control of a car while it slides sideways, requires practice and patience. This begins with mastering the basics of car control — steering, throttle control, and braking. My journey with the sport has been slightly touch-and-go, but it all started with an experiential session at the Raymond track in Mumbai. Needless to say, that got me hooked and I couldn’t wait for the next time the Bad Boi Drifts crew were in town.
Fast forward a year and a half, and I got a call from them, telling me that they had opened their very own drift track in Gurgaon. A purpose-built track for drifting enthusiasts who want to hone their skills and experience the adrenaline rush of sending a car sideways. Having experienced the track as well as their training sessions, I can say that Bad Boi Drifts is not only trying to impart their knowledge about the sport, but they are, more importantly, building up the drifting community.
Bad Boi Drifts provides multiple training packages ranging from Rs 25000 onwards, where enthusiasts can bring their own cars and train at the track with an instructor. The sessions go up to Rs 3.8 lakh for the pro package, which is a three-day course where they provide everything necessary to take you from the basics to a competition-ready level. All you need to do is show up and stay focused. In addition, you can also get a Balola Club membership, which, at Rs 20000 per month, allows you unlimited track access to perfect the craft at your leisure.
What’s more is that, if you are interested, Bad Boi Drifts, powered by Garage 82, offers guidance and skilled mechanics to help you build a perfectly modified drift car as per your requirements. You can check out their website here for more details.
