    Mad Mike in partnership with Hampton Downs Motorsport Park welcome you to come test and advance your drifting skills in a fun, non competitive environment. We will provide regular track dates on the club circuit extension and the only opportunity to drift the course in reverse configuration at Mad Mike Drift FORCE.
