About this Event
DriveSims Drifting ProgramProgram Overview:
The Drive Sims Drifting Program is an immersive and progressive training initiative designed to empower participants with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in the art of drifting within simulated environments. Tailored to participants of all skill levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—this program delivers targeted training experiences that cater to individual expertise.
Sim Drifting School is a group class. 12 people will learn to drift through group instruction and use of the simulators. DriveSims' Concord, CA location has 6 high-end simulators, so attendees will be paired up on a simulator. Each concept introduced will work through instruction, then practice/observation as you and your simulator buddy get a chance to try out the skills. You'll get approx 1 hour of simulator time in the 2 hour lesson.
Program Goals:1. Mastery of Drifting Fundamentals: Irrespective of skill level, the program prioritizes a robust grasp of drifting fundamentals in the context of simulated environments. Participants delve into concepts like weight transfer dynamics, throttle control, and countersteering techniques.
2. Advancement through Progressive Skill Levels: Participants advance through the program, encountering increasingly advanced techniques such as transitions, tandem drifting, and simulated competition readiness.
3. Realistic Simulation Realm: The program harnesses Drive Sims' cutting-edge simulators to offer participants a hyper-realistic drifting encounter. This simulation-based training seamlessly bridges the gap between virtual and real-world drifting.
4. Guided by Expert Instructors: Each session, led by experienced driving instructors, provides expert guidance, personalized feedback, and hands-on coaching within Drive Sims' simulated environment.
5. Refinement of Tandem Dynamics: Tandem drifting practice takes center stage, enabling participants to fine-tune their skills in tandem coordination with fellow enthusiasts—a crucial facet of real-world drift events.
6. Preparation for Simulated Drifting Challenges: Advanced participants benefit from competition-focused sessions, gaining insights into strategies, judging criteria, and mock competitions within Drive Sims' virtual realm.
