Canada's first and largest all female show and race team, Sweetie Girl Racing (SGR), will be expanding the SGR Driving Clinic Series to offer Women's only Drifting and Car Control!

This is an exciting development for the drifting community as the female demographic in racing is growing at a fast pace, especially in Canada! The SGR: Miss Shift Race division has been developed to focus on the speed aspect of motorsport including circuit, drag, car/driver development and performance. This new initiative exclusively through SGR will help the development of any female that wishes to pursue the art of drifting and car control.

Drift Ops, the leading Canadian grass roots drift team will be providing drift instruction to the ladies of the SGR Drift and Car Control Clinic.
