Driving in Mumbai is an exercise in patience. Between dodging rickshaws, navigating endless traffic jams, and enduring the relentless honking, it often feels like a test of endurance rather than speed. I’ve had my fair share of frustrations. The rare moments I hit 40 km/h feel like a victory — only to be cut short by another red light — makes the idea of an open track even more appealing. But for one weekend, all of that changes.
As part of The Homegrown Festival 2025, Bad Boy Drifts will bring Mumbai's first-ever drift experience to Richardson & Cruddas Mills, Byculla. This is your chance to see high-speed drift showcases, take a ride with a pro, and even get some hands-on training.
You can expect drift showcases and tandem runs where you watch expert drifters push their machines to the limit. Sit in the passenger seat for a thrilling firsthand experience, or earn the basics of drifting from professionals.
For too long, Mumbai’s car culture has been limited to Sunday supercar parades and drag races. This is the first time professional drifting is coming to the city. It’s about skill, control, and precision driving. This track is a shift in how motorsports are perceived in the city. It offers an avenue for enthusiasts to move beyond static car meets and experience the thrill of professional motorsport firsthand.
Drifting has a deep-rooted culture across the world, from the mountain roads of Japan to international competitions that showcase the best of the best. It’s a sport that demands respect, technical expertise, and an unbreakable connection between driver and machine. Bringing this experience to Mumbai is a game-changer, giving you a legitimate space to engage with a motorsport that has long been out of reach.
If you’ve ever been stuck in Mumbai traffic, frustrated by slow speeds and endless signals, this is your chance to experience the exact opposite. Whether you’re a die-hard motorsport fan or just looking for an unforgettable experience, this drift event is set to be one of the highlights of The Homegrown Festival 2025.
