Get ready for three days of intense drifting action at the legendary Hockenheimring! DRIFT.de presents Freies Driften (Open Drifting), an event designed for advanced drifters to push their skills to the limit on a specially prepared course. This is your chance to experience the thrill of controlled slides on a track meticulously laid out with tires and bunting, featuring ample run-off areas.
This event offers a unique track layout, tighter and slower than typical Drift Series courses, ensuring a challenging yet accessible experience for participants. The track will be watered to optimize conditions. Friday kicks off with an Open Pitlane session running counter-clockwise. Saturday and Sunday will feature three distinct groups, with sessions alternating every 20-30 minutes in a clockwise direction. Both road-legal and non-road-legal vehicles are welcome, but please note that electric and hybrid vehicles are strictly prohibited. Special conditions will be in effect after sunset on Sunday.
