Ever wondered what it feels like to go sideways in a purpose-built drift car?
Now is your chance.
Climb into the passenger seat of a specially prepared drift car and experience the noise, smoke, speed and incredible car control of drifting from inside the action.
Drift Taxi Rides return to Tunerfest South at Brands Hatch, giving visitors the opportunity to experience drifting rather than simply watching it.
Whether you’re a dedicated drift fan or have never experienced anything like it before, this is one Tunerfest experience you won’t forget.
Experience Drifting From the Passenger Seat
This is definitely not your average taxi ride.
Strap in alongside an experienced drift driver as they demonstrate just how much control is possible when a car is travelling sideways.
Expect high-angle slides, rapid transitions, plenty of tyre smoke and the unmistakable sound of a drift car being put through its paces.
From outside the car, drifting looks spectacular.
From the passenger seat, it’s a completely different experience.

What Is Drifting?
Drifting is all about precision, balance and car control.
Instead of following the conventional racing line, drivers deliberately put the car into oversteer and maintain the slide using a combination of throttle, steering and braking.
The result is one of motorsport’s most spectacular disciplines, combining speed, skill, noise and tyre smoke.
A Drift Taxi Ride gives you the opportunity to experience that skill first-hand from inside the car.
