Driftstation 443: the Devils Drift Crew's painted-concrete hall near Stuttgart
A registered German club built its own 1:10 RWD drift track on very smooth painted concrete, with a small beginners' course and a school car for visitors. Here is what the club's own pages say it is for.

A large layout, seen from above with the lights on
The club's own overhead photograph of Driftstation 443 shows the full layout at once: a long run of track through a hall, its edges lit so the lanes read as bright outlines against the floor. The Devils Drift Crew publish that picture alongside a second, darker view, and describe the hall as having a day look and a night look — the same layout presented two ways depending on how it is lit.
The surface is the part the club keeps returning to. It calls the floor very smooth, painted concrete, and says members built the track themselves "with a lot of effort and time". The club's claim about what that floor does for a car is worth quoting rather than restating: because traction is very low, it says, a car that works at Driftstation 443 works everywhere. That is the club's own assessment of its surface, not a measured one, and a visitor's mileage will depend on what they bring.
For tyres, the page names RêveD AS-01 as the standard tyre at the track. The page does not say whether it is mandated for every session or simply what members run, so treat it as the house standard rather than a published spec rule.
The club is registered as Devils Drift Crew e.V., register number 201894 at the Stuttgart court, with the track address given as Stockhausen, 73760 Ostfildern.
What it is for
Tandem and trains first, bodies close behind
The club describes itself as a model-building club for RC drift at 1:10 scale with electric cars, and sets out a clear aim: that 1:10 drifting should look as realistic as the full-size originals it borrows from.
Two things follow from that in the club's own ordering. Driving together comes first — tandem with two cars, or a drift train with more. And model building sits right behind it, with the club naming unique bodies as part of what members are there for. That is a familiar combination in club halls, but it is worth noting that the Devils Drift Crew put both in writing rather than treating the shells as decoration on a driving session.
The hall is set up to support a day spent there rather than a run and a pack-up: the page lists work spaces, a bar, a members' wall and sponsor banners alongside the layout itself, plus landmarks built into the track.
The small track, the school car and what the club tells beginners
Next to the main layout there is a small test track for beginners, and the club says visitors can drive its driving-school car on it. What that car is — which chassis, and how it is loaned out — is not stated on the pages reviewed here.
The club's beginner advice is specific to its own hall and reads that way. Three points stand out:
- RWD only in their hall. The club does not run AWD drift cars on its floor.
- Entry chassis suggestions: the RêveD RDX and the Yokomo RD2.0, both RWD kits. Build questions on either are answered by the maker's own documents — see the Reve D RDX manuals and the Yokomo RD2.0 manuals.
- Motor choice: the club says 13.5T motors make their floor easier to start on. That is advice tied to one specific surface — very smooth painted concrete with, by the club's description, very low traction — and not a general rule for carpet or P-tile.
The club also has its own event, King of the South 2026, with a rules-and-regulations PDF posted on the event's page. YAW has not read that document, so nothing here describes its format, its classes or its results.
Where to see the crew
At Faszination Modellbau, 30 October to 1 November
For readers who would rather meet the club before visiting the hall, a post dated 25 September 2026 on the club's home page says the Devils Drift Crew will be in the foyer at Faszination Modellbau at Messe Friedrichshafen, from 30 October to 1 November 2026.
What the club will have with it there — a demo layout, cars, the school car — is not stated in the post, and nothing about the stand is confirmed beyond the dates and the foyer location.
The club's founding year and how many members it has are not given on the pages reviewed for this piece.
