Here’s our dates for 2026! We can’t wait to return to both The Bend and Mallala for another year of tyre smoking fun!🔥
The calendar includes a mix of SA State Series rounds, freestyle days, and drift schools / skidpan sessions, so there’s something for every experience level and driving style.
These dates cover Drifting SA-run events only. It’s great to see there’s plenty more drifting happening across SA, and we will share any public events to our pages too!
Drift Collective will be announced separately, so keep an eye out for those updates soon.
Get these dates in your diary - we’ll see you trackside in 2026!
Shot adrift event at Drift SA at The Bend Motorsport Park using my 2002 Canon XM2 🎞️🔥
Something about modern drifting filmed on vintage MiniDV footage just looks different. Tire smoke, loud cars, and that old-school DV look make it feel straight out of the early 2000s.

What a weekend.
Two full days of absolute carnage, tyre smoke and drifting madness at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park for Drifting SA Round 2 - and what a show it turned out to be.
A massive thank you to every driver, crew member, volunteer, official, spectator and staff member who helped make the event possible. From a packed paddock to huge crowds trackside, the atmosphere all weekend was unreal.
South Australian drifting is alive and well - and this weekend proved it. Until next time.
