Racing, drifting and car culture
Four on-track programs under one banner: SHIFT Race, SHIFT Attack, SHIFT Drift and SHIFT Roll, each run by established operators at every festival. Watch the racing and the drifting, run your own car in time attack or roll racing, show it with your club, then stay on into the night.
On the track
Time attack
SHIFT Attack
Your car against the clock at every festival, run by the time attack operators already doing it.
Drifting
SHIFT Drift
Drifting at every festival: on the circuit at Queensland Raceway and Sydney Motorsport Park, on the skid pad at The Bend and Calder Park.
Roll racing
SHIFT Roll
Roll racing on the straight at every festival, run by the operators and clubs who already run it, with a bigger stage.
Off the track
Car club displays
Bring the club and park up together. Display areas at every festival for clubs, marques and owner groups, with the circuit as the backdrop.
Live music
Live music when the lights come on. The on-track program runs into the evening and the music keeps the paddock going after it.
Kids entertainment
Something for the kids at every festival, so the whole family can make a day of it, not just the one holding the tickets.
Sim racing comps
Sim racing competitions in the paddock. Jump in the rig, set a time and take on the field between sessions.
