You have seen the levels and the prices. If you are still weighing them up, it comes down to one question — do you want to feel it once, or do you want to get good at it? Here is the difference, side by side.

The V10 Journey
One path.
Four stages.
Four stations, one route. Pick any of them to see what that stage of the training actually involves — nothing is locked, and you can look at the end before you commit to the start.

About The Brand
Built to develop drivers — not just sell a thrill.
V10 Drifting Academy is built around progressive driver development: simulator fundamentals, real-world seat time, advanced control work, and a route toward competition. Every stage builds on the one before it, so you always know what you are working on and what comes next.
Before speed, shape. You learn where the weight goes, what the car does when you move it, and why a slide starts long before the moment it looks like it started. Most of this is unlearning habits from normal road driving.
Holding a slide is throttle, steering and eyes working together. We build each one separately until it stops being a reaction and starts being a decision — which is the point where the car stops surprising you.
Anyone can get it right once. The work is repeating it — same entry, same angle, same exit, run after run. This is the stage that separates someone who has drifted from someone who can drift.
Event pace is a different discipline: qualifying runs, tandem pressure, judged lines and no second chances. We prepare you for the format, not just the driving, so the first event is not also the first surprise.
The Team
The people
in the passenger seat.
You are never figuring it out alone. Every session runs with a coach beside you, reading the car with you and calling the correction before you feel it.
01
Omar Shalaby
Head Coach · Founder
Fifteen years sideways, the last six spent teaching it. Started V10 after realising most people never get past their first spin because nobody explained what actually happened.
02
Karim Adel
Drift Instructor
Came up through track days and grassroots events before moving into coaching. Runs most of the first-real-car sessions and is usually the voice in your ear on run one.
03
Youssef Nabil
Simulator Coach
Sim racer turned instructor. Builds the foundation work — weight transfer, line theory and car control — so the first real session is not wasted learning basics.
04
Mahmoud Fathy
Competition Coach
Competes regularly and prepares the drivers who want to. Focuses on qualifying runs, tandem work and the parts of event weekends nobody warns you about.
Before You Book
Sideways is the point.
Guesswork is not.
The three questions everyone asks first, answered up front. Drifting is a controlled skill — the car, the space and the supervision are all built around keeping it that way.

felt like.
Drivers who started where you are now.
★★★★★
I spun the car four times in my first real session and left convinced I was hopeless. By session eight I was holding a full lap. The difference was having someone explain what the car was doing instead of just telling me to try again.
Amr HegazyLEVEL 03 · REAL CONTROL
★★★★★
I booked the trial session expecting to be the worst person there. Nobody cared, the coach sat next to me the whole time, and I was sliding by the end of the hour. I have since booked Level 02.
Tarek WagdyTRIAL SESSION
★★★★★
Six levels in and the thing that stuck with me is how structured it is. Every session had a point. I came for the thrill and stayed because I could actually see myself getting better week to week.

Questions
Asked before
every first session.
Still not answered?
Message the academy directly. Questions about a specific package, date or medical condition get a faster answer on WhatsApp than they will from any page.
No. Level 01 is built for people starting from zero, and it starts in the simulator precisely so that car control is something you learn before it costs you anything. If you have never driven a manual car, say so when you book and the session is adjusted around it.
Not for the simulator stages, and not for real-car training either — sessions run on private ground rather than public road. Bring ID if you have it.
There is no fixed minimum age. What matters is that you are comfortable in a car that moves quickly and can follow instruction in the seat. If you are booking for someone young, or have any doubt about whether a session suits them, message the academy before you book and the team will tell you straight.
There is no online payment on this site. You pick a package, send a request, and the academy contacts you to confirm the date and settle payment directly. Nothing is charged automatically and no card details are collected here.
Closed shoes with thin soles — you need to feel the pedals, so no sandals and no heavy boots. Comfortable long trousers in cotton or similar. Helmet and all safety equipment are supplied and checked before every run.
Training runs in academy cars. They are set up for drifting, fitted with the right safety equipment, and maintained for the abuse this puts on a car. If you want to bring your own vehicle to a session, ask first — the answer depends on the car and the stage you are at.
Normal training wear is expected and covered — tyres and clutches are consumables in this sport, and you are not handed a bill for using them. A coach is with you on every run specifically to keep things inside the limits.
Yes, with notice. Because bookings are confirmed by the team rather than an automated system, the fastest way to move a session is to message the same WhatsApp number that confirmed it.
Yes. Spectators stay in the designated area rather than trackside, but bringing someone along is encouraged — most people want the footage afterwards anyway.
The levels are designed to be worked through in order because each one assumes the last, but if you only want to find out what drifting feels like, the paid Trial Session exists for exactly that and commits you to nothing further.
