Standard 1/10 scale rear-wheel drive drift cars. RCP P-tile surface. Spec tyre: Yokomo DRA throughout.
The full circuit is 3ft wide throughout — tandem-capable at every point. Run side by side or solo.
Drift Night is an open practice session — no heats, no qualifying, no pressure. Turn up, get your car out, and drive. The track runs throughout the session and you can put as many laps in as your batteries allow.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Regulars will have seen new faces plenty of times before. If it is your first session, say so — someone will walk you through the setup, the track rules, and the spec tyre requirement before you head out.
There is no hot lap culture here. Tandem running is encouraged when both drivers are comfortable with it, but it is never obligatory. Drive at your own pace and focus on learning the circuit.
Our track is laid on RCP P-tile interlocking panels — the same surface used at national and international RC drift competition level. Consistent, low-grip, and forgiving enough for beginners while rewarding enough for experienced drivers.
The low-grip characteristic is intentional. It makes the car slide more predictably, gives you more time to react, and means that learning to drift is genuinely achievable in a single session for most people.
All Drift Nights run on a single spec tyre: the Yokomo DRA. A spec tyre means every car runs the same compound, which removes tyre selection as a performance variable and keeps the focus on driving skill.
DRA tyres are available in the shop. New to drift? Buy two sets to start — you will use them.
No. Drift Night is walk-in only. Turn up at St Albans Community Hall any time between 7pm and 10pm on a Friday, pay on the door, and get on track. No advance booking, no registration, no waiting list.
A 1/10 scale rear-wheel drive drift car. The Tamiya TT-02D is the most popular entry-level choice and works perfectly on our track. See the Getting Started guide or the drift page for recommendations at every budget.
Completely fine. Drift Night regularly sees first-timers alongside experienced drivers and everyone starts somewhere. The low-grip surface is actually more forgiving for beginners than a high-grip surface would be. Turn up, say hello, and someone will help you get started.
Yes. The DRA is the mandatory spec tyre for all Drift Nights. It applies to everyone, regardless of car or experience level. DRA tyres are available in the shop if you need to stock up before the session.
Sessions are open until the venue reaches a comfortable capacity. We have never had to turn anyone away at a regular Drift Night, but follow us on social media for any announcements about particularly busy sessions or venue changes.
No booking. No prerequisites. Just turn up with a charged battery and find your line.
