With the top 16 runners determined and the weather thankfully clearing to present a nice sunny bright sky we were straight back to business. In the above shot Motormaven’s Dan Bridle, Speedhunters’ Paddy McGrath and Drifted’s Will Epps get ready for what looks set to be a promising afternoon’s drifting. Top 16 rundown after the jump….

With JDM Allstars Wembley rapped up for another year I’ll share with you one of my favourite aspects of the custom street circuit. Apart from the huge concrete wall that lines the track and the fact that it takes place in the heart of the captial under the legendary Wembley arch, my favourite part of the track to shoot has to be ‘the jump’. More after the jump, see what I did there?……
I was looking through my shots from this season (the ones I managed to squeeze in between running around like a maniac at events and judging) and came across this shot of Greg Gush’s Protuner Onevia from Round 1 of the BDC 2010.
Drifted have teamed up with UK drift series JDM Allstars to give you the chance to win a pair of weekend passes to the upcoming JDM Allstars showcase event at Wembley, London on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th August, 2010. Make the jump to find out how!
Allow me to disrupt your calm Sunday with this shot of Team Scream’s John Glaister, Ashley Stevens and Andy Redmond stampeding down Norfolk Arena’s back straight during last Sunday’s Team Event practice session. Keep your eyes pealed for Philip Mann’s coverage from Sunday’s Team Event coming soon.
I heard the rumour a couple of months ago that NOS Energy Drink/MAXXIS Tyres Formula-D driver Chris Forsberg was coming over to the UK to drift at some point later on this year. Having dismissed it as Chinese whispers I didn’t think any more of it until now.
The BDC have just announced details of their annual Team Drift event in the UK. Last year’s team event saw the closest triple drifting the UK had ever seen – can Team Green/Falken retain their title?
If you are in the UK and can get yourself to Norfolk Arena for the weekend then it is not to be missed! Saturday sees a stand-alone Top 32 event open to all drivers, not just those currently in the BDC! To top it off the finals will be driven at night under the arena floodlights – making for some fantastic viewing! Sunday hosts the team event with three cars from each team out on track at any one time inches from each others doors.
The British Drift Championship wrapped up Round 3 of the 2010 championship at Lydden Hill, Kent yesterday. To precede to Philip Mann’s full coverage here are a selection of shots I managed to squeeze in between judging. Above, Round 3 winner Shane Lynch gets covered in champagne by his fellow podium holders, Mark ‘Buff’ Luney (2nd) and Vince ‘Nootty’ Noott (3rd). More after the jump…
Following on from the conclusion of the seperate Semi-Pro and Pro BDC Second rounds, the season is shaping up to be a good one! 2010 points tables after the jump….
This weekend saw the Semi-Pro second round of the 2010 Maxxis British Drift Championship. The event was held at the popular Llandow Circuit in South Wales and the weather forecast for the weekend was looking less than promising! Nonetheless, everyone was in high spirits – Llandow had always delievered fantastic weather and fantastic driving in the past and the way the day was shaping up we looked set to get both again.
I rolled into Manchester via the delightful UK rail network mid-way through Saturday’s qualifying session. It was a tough decision whether to blast my FC3S the 140-odd miles north to catch this opening round of JDM Allstars 2010 or relax on the train on the way up. Going by how I feel now, I”m glad I chose the latter!
After yesterday’s Qualifying Session the UK’s best drift drivers gathered bright and early to battle it out for the all important opening points of the BDC 2010. (more…)
