Cars Should be free from oil leaks and in a roadworthy state, however, removal of bonnet and bumpers is acceptable for the event. We would also like to point out that the event is open to all drive line configurations, not just rear-wheel drive cars. Also In-car assistance will be available for those just starting out in the sport.

To be consistent with D1 Grand Prix in Japan, we will be using D1 rules. For those not familiar with D1, the event format will be as follows: Qualifying will be judged through a series of corners which will be disclosed on the day. The top 16 qualifiers will be placed into 4 groups of 4 according to their skill level. They will then participate in a 'battle stage' i.e. 2 cars drifting simultaneously, one behind the other, where the intent is to out-drift the opponent in front of you while keeping as little distance as possible between the two cars. Each competitor has one lap only each in chasing, Loser being eliminated and the winner carrying on to the next Battle Round.

Judging Criteria, In consistency with D1, is based on 5 factors; speed, drift angle, closeness to the leading car, style (which includes noise & tyre smoke), and crowd appeal.
