Hobart Sporting Car Club organised the first CAMS approved drifting event in Tasmania on Saturday 6 May 2006.

You may ask why are we did it? The committee has noticed that there has been an influx of new members owning vehicles that fit the drifting scene.

We are aware that there is a sense of frustration with these members that their form of Motorsport has not been catered for, to date, in Tasmania. We are now doing something about it.

CAMS has recently released a set of regulations for the sport of drifting which has made it a lot easier for us to do something positive.

HSCC SUPPORT OF DRIFTING EVENTS AT BASKERVILLE

CAM S has recently released a set of regulations for the sport of drifting which has made it a lot easier for us to do something positive.

A fairly large number of the drifting fraternity have banded together and through their spokesman, Ben Glover , contacted HSCC and have supported the 6 May event, an event on 30 July and a third event on 5 November 2006.

What is drifting? CAMS definitions:

•  Drifting – an activity designed to be undertaken by driving a car through a series of corners with the object of producing as much yaw rate as possible from the vehicle whilst demonstrating the drivers ability to control the direction of the vehicle.

•  Judging – The order of merit of competitors will be established by a panel of three persons, who will be called “Judges” and who will qualitatively assess competitors whist competitors traverse the Judging Area. Assessment will be made according to car control competence based on a number of style criteria. Judges will be appointed as “Judges of Fact” as is written in NCR 181.

•  Drift battle – a two car competition where cars drift against each other which is judged against the set criteria, of which proximity to the car in front is one of the criteria. The battle consists of two passes through the judging area where each competitor takes a turn to lead the other competitor.

•  Judging area – the portion of the course where judging will take place. Activities occurring outside the judging area will not be taken into account by the judges. Activities occurring outside the judging area may be taken into account by the Stewards and Clerk of Course as appropriate, e.g. in the event where rules are broken.

•  Yaw – is the degree of maintained angle at which the vehicle moves along a set line or course.

Drifting is the largest growth area in Australia n motor sport and is highly appealing to the younger generations.
