Line & Zones

Drift Zones

Drift Zones are designated scoring areas on the track that define where the car should be positioned during a run.

Judges evaluate commitment, precision, and car placement within these zones.

Outer Zone (OZ)

A marked area on the outside of a corner. The driver is expected to place the car as wide as possible, usually with the rear of the car reaching the outer boundary.

Inner Zone (IZ)

A marked area on the inside of a corner. The car should come close to or touch this zone while maintaining proper drift angle and line.

Line

The Line is the prescribed path a driver must follow through the course.

It includes:

  • Proper use of outer and inner zones
  • Correct clipping points
  • Clean and committed corner entry

Maintaining the correct line is one of the three core judging criteria along with angle and style/commitment.
