about us
Founded in 2003, Initial Drift Australia is proud to be the first car club in Australia to be sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sports (CAMS) under the new "Drifting" category. This allows drifting events to be run at closed circuits with all the safety of a normal track event. IDA has been involved with events ranging from beginner drift schools to full 32-car competition events at Oran Park, Eastern Creek and Wakefield Park, as well as put demonstrations on for the likes of Procar, the Australian Rally Championship and Superlap (World Time Attack Challenge). These days we help Driving Sports out with their FJEC Festival which is held at the end of the year.
IDA isn't just a club run by administrators. A dedicated team of drifters who have been involved in the club for many years and ensure that every event is enjoyable for beginners right through to the experienced drifters. Incorporated as a not for profit organisation means any profits raised at our track days go back into the club to help us make our days better.
Grab yourself some drift related apparel and help us fund future track days. 100% of the profits from the sales are directed to IDA hosting future days. Not only will you look good, but you'll be helping one of the pioneering organisations of the sport
