Driver Classifications:

There will be three driver classifications for our events. Some events may be held for specific classes, but our main events will be for all three driver classes. These classes are defined not just by the car, but by the driver, their abilities on the track and their understanding of vehicle dynamics and how to navigate the course. Your class/group will be determined by GIG Motorsports personnel prior to the event-start and may be adjusted during the event depending upon performance/instructor’s evaluation. These groups are created to make the experience fun and exciting for everyone involved and to maximize your time out on the tarmac.

1.1 Advanced Group/Black Group:

As a driver, you understand vehicle dynamics, the course, the line, and how to navigate these in a safe, effective and efficient manner while having complete control of your vehicle. Tandem is allowed in this group due to driver ability and the vehicles meeting all of the safety requirements detailed in the tech inspection, inclusive of a roll cage.

1.2 Intermediate Group/Blue Group:

As a driver, your understanding of vehicle dynamics, the course and the line is markedly improved from when you first started drifting the course. You have control of your vehicle but there are moments when your maintenance of the line, or choices around the track, are not ideal but you’re halfway there. The car does not have all of the required safety equipment to run in tandem/advanced group in addition to your skill-sets not meeting the requirements as determined by GIG Motorsports instructors.

1.3 Novice Group/Red Group:

Welcome to drifting! Your understanding of vehicle dynamics, your car, the track, “the line” and how to manipulate the controls and inputs to drift successfully are just beginning. Every expert was once a beginner and we welcome you to the sport! Keep an eye out for Think/Slide Pink Drifting clinics where we will teach you how to understand everything involved to get your car sideways and hang that drift for the entire corner. As with the other groups, your car must meet all tech requirements.
