Terms and Conditions (T&C)

Last updated: 19 September 2026. This is a translation of the German original, which prevails in case of discrepancy.

1. Scope and contracting parties

1.1 These Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts for entering an event and booking a spot concluded through this website between you and Drift United GmbH, Hohentichelnstr. 20, 04328 Leipzig (the "Organiser").

1.2 Any conflicting terms of the participant do not become part of the contract unless the Organiser expressly agrees to them in text form.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these terms is any natural person who concludes the contract for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession.

2. Conclusion of contract

2.1 The presentation of events and spot sizes on this website is not a binding offer but an invitation to submit an entry.

2.2 By submitting the booking form in the final step, you submit a binding entry. All personal and vehicle information must be proper and correct.

2.3 We confirm receipt of your entry by email without undue delay. This acknowledgement does not yet constitute acceptance.

2.4 The registration confirmation creates a contract between the Organiser and the driver. This contract obliges the driver to participate in the event under the conditions specified in the event announcement.

2.5 The Organiser has the right to refuse a registration, stating reasons, if the participation or admission requirements for drivers and/or vehicles are not met, if the registration was not submitted by the deadline, or if the starting places have been allocated. The Organiser may also refuse an entry where there is reasonable doubt as to the accuracy of your details or where there are indications of automated or commercial multiple entries.

2.6 The Organiser stores the text of the contract. You receive your booking details and these terms by email with the registration confirmation.

3. Regulations

3.1 The current Regulations (Reglement) apply to all of the Organiser's events and form part of the contract. By submitting your entry you confirm that you have read the Regulations and that you accept and follow them without exception. This applies to every driver, every team member and all participants of an event. The Regulations are available on the Organiser's website and are provided to you in text form on request at any time.

3.2 The Regulations govern the sporting, technical and organisational aspects of the event. Where these Terms and Conditions differ from the Regulations on such a point, the Regulations prevail.

3.3 The Regulations may be amended at any time. Amendments are communicated to the drivers and teams concerned. In case of differences of opinion or interpretation, the Regulations are decisive.

3.4 At all of the Organiser's events, the project management alone carries responsibility. All drivers are subject to the project management, must follow its instructions and must accept its decisions.

3.5 Registration and entry are made exclusively through the Organiser's booking portal. Only drivers whose valid and fully completed registration for the current year has been received may take part.

4. Entry fee and payment

4.1 All prices are final prices in euros and include statutory VAT.

4.2 When registering, at least 50 per cent of the entry fee for the respective event is due.

4.3 The full entry fee is due four weeks before the event.

4.4 A delayed receipt of money results in a processing fee of 50 euros. Entry fees paid in cash on site are subject to a separate processing fee of 100 euros.

4.5 Payment is made by bank transfer to the account stated in the registration confirmation. The payment reference stated there must be quoted on the transfer; without it, the incoming payment cannot be matched to your entry automatically, which delays confirmation.

4.6 If payment is not received in time, the Organiser may cancel the entry after a prior reminder and reallocate the starting place.

4.7 Discount codes are valid only if redeemed during the booking process and cannot be applied retrospectively. They cannot be exchanged for cash.

5. Spot, driver and paddock

5.1 You book a spot of a particular size, not a particular location on the site.

5.2 Each spot entitles one driver to take part. If further drivers wish to take part, each of them requires their own entry with their own spot.

5.3 Each driver can receive up to four team wristbands.

5.4 The specific spot is assigned by the Organiser and communicated to you before the event. The Organiser takes team and preferred neighbour details into account where possible; there is no entitlement to a particular location.

5.5 The Organiser may exchange an already assigned spot for an equivalent one for organisational or safety reasons.

5.6 Drivers, teams and the paddock must be clean, tidy and presentable at all times. Waste and used tyres are either disposed of on site by the team or taken away. The spot assigned to you may not be used beyond its boundaries; escape routes and access lanes must be kept clear at all times.

5.7 Passing on, reselling or commercially brokering an entry or a spot to third parties is not permitted without the Organiser's prior consent in text form. The Organiser may cancel entries transferred in breach of this provision without compensation.

6. Right of withdrawal

6.1 A 14-day right of withdrawal applies, valid from submission of the entry. Otherwise the entry is binding.

6.2 You declare your withdrawal to the Organiser in text form using the contact details given in clause 1.1. Sending the declaration in good time is sufficient to meet the deadline.

6.3 If you withdraw within the deadline, the Organiser refunds any amounts already paid in full.

7. Cancellation by the participant

7.1 After the withdrawal period has expired you may cancel your entry. Cancellation must be declared in text form; the decisive moment is when it reaches the Organiser. An entry that has not yet been paid can additionally be cancelled by you in the customer portal.

7.2 The following cancellation deadlines apply, with the stated share of the entry fee falling due as a cancellation fee:

up to 30 days before the event: 1 per cent of the entry fee; up to 14 days before the event: 50 per cent of the entry fee; up to 7 days before the event: 100 per cent of the entry fee.

7.3 Amounts already paid are refunded less the cancellation fee. You are free to prove that the Organiser has suffered no loss or a substantially smaller loss.

8. Vehicle, technical inspection and safety equipment

8.1 All rear-wheel-drive vehicles are eligible to take part. The Organiser reserves the right not to admit dangerous or unsuitable modifications and to exclude them from the event.

8.2 The registered vehicle and any replacement vehicle must meet the requirements of the Regulations and may only be driven in technically perfect condition.

8.3 A technical inspection is mandatory for every vehicle taking part. If the technical director finds defects that cannot be remedied, the vehicle may not start. Any vehicle dismantled, modified or involved in an accident after inspection must be presented again; changes must be reported to the technical director.

8.4 Throughout the entire driving time, drivers and passengers must be secured by their belt system and wear a helmet meeting the standards set out in the Regulations. Damaged helmets are not permitted. Flame-resistant clothing is prescribed in accordance with the Regulations.

8.5 The stickers and start numbers provided by the Organiser must be applied in accordance with the sticker placement plan in the Regulations.

8.6 Attendance at the driver briefing is mandatory until it ends and is confirmed by signature. Unexcused absence is penalised with a ban from starting. Before each event, attendance must be confirmed in person by every driver by signature.

8.7 Refuelling is permitted only at the designated places. Carrying press representatives or film crews requires the express approval of the project management.

9. Code of conduct and penalties

9.1 Walking pace applies in the paddock. Donuts and burnouts are strictly prohibited in the paddock. Burnouts may only be performed on the track with approval and only in such a way that no damage to the asphalt occurs.

9.2 The consumption of alcohol, narcotics and other intoxicating or stimulating substances is expressly prohibited for every participant. Alcohol may not be consumed until the end of the official programme of the event.

9.3 The signal flags customary in motorsport apply, with the meaning described in the Regulations.

9.4 The driver is responsible for the conduct of all their guests and sponsors.

9.5 Breaches of the Regulations, of the provisions governing the event or of the provisions of the circuit operator may be penalised with warnings, deduction of points, fines, disqualification, removal from the site and a ban for the season. Before a penalty is imposed, those concerned are given the opportunity to comment on the incident. There is no claim to a refund of the entry fee in such cases.

9.6 A protest must be submitted in writing to the race management once the error is noticed and must state the time, date, name of the team and the point of the Regulations concerned.

10. Cancellation, postponement and force majeure

10.1 If the Organiser has to cancel the event, it refunds the entry fee paid. There is no claim beyond this, in particular for travel, accommodation or loss-of-earnings costs, unless the Organiser is at fault.

10.2 If the event is postponed, your entry remains valid for the replacement date. If you cannot attend the replacement date, you may cancel free of charge within 14 days of the new date being announced; the entry fee paid is refunded in full.

10.3 In the event of force majeure, official orders or weather conditions that make safe operation impossible, the Organiser may cancel, shorten or postpone the event; the schedule may be affected by weather. Clauses 10.1 and 10.2 apply accordingly.

11. Liability

11.1 Participation in the event and driving a vehicle on the site and on the track are at your own risk. Required liability waivers must be signed.

11.2 The Organiser is liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health caused by a breach of duty by the Organiser, its legal representatives or vicarious agents, for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, and for claims under the German Product Liability Act.

11.3 In the case of slightly negligent breach of a duty whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you may regularly rely (a cardinal duty), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of this type of contract.

11.4 Liability of the Organiser is otherwise excluded.

11.5 You are liable for damage you culpably cause to third-party vehicles, to persons, to the track or to the event site.

11.6 The Organiser assumes no custody or safekeeping of items you bring with you or of parked vehicles.

12. Photography, recordings and promotional appearances

12.1 The Organiser may have photographs and recordings made at the event and use them to report on the event and to promote future events.

12.2 If you are identifiable in such a recording, you may object to its further use at any time using the contact details given in the privacy policy.

12.3 The winner and the second- and third-placed drivers undertake to be available for press days and public appearances.

12.4 Logos, start numbers, windscreen banners and other official markings and materials of the series may not be used or repurposed outside the series without express approval.

13. Data protection

The personal data the Organiser processes in connection with your entry, and the rights available to you, are described in the privacy policy.

14. Final provisions

14.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another Member State of the European Union, mandatory consumer protection provisions of that State remain unaffected.

14.2 If the participant is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the Organiser's registered office.

14.3 The Organiser is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body (section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act).

14.4 Should any provision of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
