Welcome to AZDRiFT.com

AZDRiFT is an Arizona based group that promotes and organizes drifting events throughout AZ for professional and amateur drifters.

AZDRiFT.com is a web site dedicated to promoting the sport, AZ drivers and educating people about drifting.

AZDRiFT offers anyone 16 and over (under 18 with parental consent) and a rear wheel drive car the opportunity to test their skills on a real track in a safe environment.

AZDRiFT 101 offers you the opportunity to have instructed driving time with semi- professional and professional level drivers.

Drifting is the fastest growing motorsport in the world. 

Inspired by rally racing and born on the mountain roads of Japan, drifting is the art of sliding a car around a set course using various inducements while maintaining the best possible line for maximum style. The idea is to maintain the highest possible speed and angle throughout each course. The main concern is overall impression; what total impact can drivers create for both fans and judges.


Usually, drift cars are light to moderate weight rear-wheel-drive coupes and sedans ranging from 200-1000bhp. In Japan and worldwide, the most common drift machines are the Nissan Silvia/180SX/200SX, Toyota AE86, Mazda RX-7, Infiniti G35 Coupe, Nissan A31 Cefiro, Nissan C33 Laurel, Nissan Skyline (AWD versions are developed into a RWD platform), Nissan 350Z, Toyota Altezza, Toyota Chaser, Toyota Mark II, Toyota MZ20 Soarer, Honda S2000, Toyota Supra (MKIV), Ford Mustang and Mazda Miata/MX-5. US drift competitions usually use the same cars, plus Chrysler LLC’s Dodge Charger, and Dodge Viper SRT-10, and General Motors’s Chevrolet Corvette, and Pontiac Solstice. Drifters in other countries often use local favorites, such as the Vauxhall Omega in the UK and Ireland, BMW 3 Series, Ford Sierra, Volvo 340 (other parts of Europe), Mercedes-Benz cars, Porsche cars, and Alfa Romeo 75.
