FULL COURSE DRIFT LICENSE
2025 GRIDLIFE DRIFT RULES

#GRIDLIFE prides itself on bringing Drift onto big tracks, and integrating it into a motorsports melting pot of good vibes and high fives. Putting drift drivers on the same courses as the road racers offering a unique opportunity for high speed driving and exciting 1st's in the drift community. Our drift program is built as an exhibition event, designed for drift teams and individuals to show off and have fun in front of the thousands of people that line the track all weekend. The venues we’re racing at are large and the tracks are high speed, so safety is our highest priority. #GRIDLIFE Drift is open to advanced drivers only.
