Description

An unforgettable 1 hour experience for lovers of high speeds and adrenaline - you drive the car yourself! Drift driving side by side with one of the best instructors in Bulgaria. What is drift? A driving technique in which the vehicle is deliberately driven out of control by 'oversteer', causing the rear tires to lose traction. The car moves across the curve under its own weight. We start with a short practice part and continue with the real drifting. The academy features a track with a special surface that simulates snow and rain, which helps build reflexes for full control of the car. Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction, while maintaining control and driving the car through the entirety of a corner. The technique causes the rear slip angle to exceed the front slip angle to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock or counter-steering). Drifting is traditionally done by clutch kicking (where the clutch is rapidly disengaged and re-engaged with the intention of upsetting the grip of the rear wheels), then intentionally oversteering and countersteering. This sense of drift is not to be confused with the four wheel drift, a classic cornering technique established in Grand Prix and sports car racing. As a motoring discipline, drifting competitions were first popularized in Japan in the 1970s and further popularized by the 1995 manga series Initial D. Drifting competitions are held worldwide and are judged according to the speed, angle, showmanship, and line taken through a corner or set of corners. A valid driver's license is required for this service. Pick-up from your hotel.
