Welcome
Welcome to the SwitchDrift Site! We are slowly in the process of updating the site and getting it
running properly, so please bare with us as we work to make this happen. The forum is up and running,
you may find the link over to the left. We are also working on the Gallery and archive. The Gallery
is where we will be posting pictures of our meets and adventures, and random content to do with Drift
in Australia. The Archive is where we shall submit old news posts for your perusal download.
The Who
SwitchDrift is an amalgamation of Switch (slang for our hometown of Ipswich) and Drift (the
sport/art of sliding around a corner in a motor vehicle in a controlled fashion).
The Why
We feel that as an up and coming motorsport in Australia, Drift needs to have more of a push
into the mainstream. To that end we want to give friendly pressure to our members to practice and
achieve the skill level that you can see in the D1GP. This does not mean that we will be rude or mean
to people who do not want to, or do not feel ready to go on the track, but we will give our best opinion
or what our members may be doing wrong, or help with setting their cars up.
Who can Join?
Anybody, we care not whether you have a car, or whether you're as into Drift as we are, we only ask that
if you wish to join us, you do so without a chip on your shoulder. The team here will insult each other,
true, but we also go way back and know the limits of what we can and cannot do/say in regards to each other.
If you want to join up, and hang out with friendly people who share the passion you may very well have
for the sport of Drifting (face it, why else would you be here), then head on over to the forums
(link located over on the left), and join in with any info, or choice bits of wisdom you may have.
