Luke Fink Purchases An Insane Abandoned 400-Acre Motorsport Compound

Aussie drifter Luke Fink is taking full advantage of what Australia has to offer with his latest purchase, and I’m not jealous… at all. (Okay, maybe a little bit.)

Following in the footsteps of other popular YouTube drifters like Adam LZ and James Deane with their own personal compounds, Fink is taking things up a notch by showcasing what ‘down under’ has to offer with an insane 400-acre abandoned motorsport complex.

The venue will become the tongue-in-cheek-named ‘EADC’ (you’ll have to Google the Aussie banter with this one, as I won’t be the one to explain if you don’t know already!)

Once complete, the vast landscape will become the ultimate venue, and he’s already spent the past year and a half transforming the abandoned property.

There’s something for everyone

Fink is known for his interests in motorsports beyond drifting. I’ve personally had the pleasure of drifting buggies with him in Greece and heard all about his off-roading antics in Australia. So, it comes as no surprise that it’ll be a multi-purpose facility, especially considering the sheer scale of the place!

Here’s what to expect:

• A 10km rally course (extending to 15km for Ultra 4 racing)
• Off-road sections featuring natural rock gardens and obstacles
• Camping areas with scenic dam views
• A motorbike track (which won’t get as much development as bikers “hurt themselves too much”).

Apparently, the rally course alone takes “at least 20 minutes” to complete a single lap in an Ultra4 off-roader. Madness.

Don’t worry – he hasn’t forgotten about drifting

Of course, despite his other motorsport interests, drifting will remain at the forefront. Having visited his old track, Archerfield Drift Park (which was sadly forced to close), I’m stoked to hear he’s got a chance to build something completely from scratch.

The centerpiece of the compound won’t be just one, but two custom drift tracks inspired by legendary Japanese circuits. The technical course features elevation changes with uphill sweepers, banked hairpins, and wall sections that’ll likely be reminiscent of iconic venues like Meihan or Ebisu. (Please bring back Minami!)

Then, a faster course will incorporate third and fourth-gear sweepers using existing rally sections. When connected, both tracks will form a massive 1.2-1.3km continuous circuit.

The future plans for ‘EADC’

Initially, Fink plans to open purely as a 4×4 and camping venue, with motorsport events following once everything’s properly established. His vision involves weekends where campers can enjoy off-roading during the day, followed by watching drift events at night.

If he can successfully navigate council approvals and secure the necessary funding, EADC could become the motorsport playground that Australia’s been missing.

If there’s anyone I know of who can pull this hugely ambitious project off, it’s Luke, and I can’t wait to see the future progress. Be sure to subscribe to the Fink & Co YouTube channel to be notified of future updates.
