# Drift Day at QR Playground Get ready to drift all day, half day, or just the morning or afternoon session at QR Playground. You'll have a chance to earn your Main Track Licence if you run the afternoon session. ## What to Expect The day splits into two layouts. The morning offers a beginner-friendly setup to get newcomers comfortable and warm up experienced drivers. The afternoon switches to a faster, more technical layout for advanced moves and coaching. All skill levels are welcome in every session. You can run solo or in tandems. An instructor is available for guidance, or just drift with your friends for the fun of it. No noise limits here. Attendance is capped so you get maximum track time without long waits. Multiple layouts with start and finish lines run throughout the day to build your skills. ## When and Where Gates open at 07:00 for morning or full-day bookings, or by 12:00pm for the afternoon session. The track runs from 08:30 to 17:00 with a 30-minute lunch break. Head to Skid Control staff to sign in. ## Your Car Requirements All cars are welcome with no registration needed. Your vehicle must be safe, leak-free, and fitted with working seatbelts and seats. Present your car in good condition. All panels must be fitted. Soft-tops or convertibles stay closed unless roll-over protection is installed. Lights and windows are required (windows three-quarters closed recommended). Clean bash bars are allowed.

There will be plenty of opportunities to contribute to this cause. Full details about the schedule, tickets, sponsors and activities will be announced soon.
