************************************************************
Drift UK has been formed to
promote the sport of drifting in the UK and Europe.
The sport originated in Japan and has been rising
in popularity over the last 15 years. The sport
of drifting is now growing in popularity around
the world and is reported to be the fastest growing
form of motor sport ever in the USA!
Our mission is to give the sport enthusiasts
a safe and legal place to build the skill and
interest level of drifters in the United Kingdom.
It is our intention to use circuits and ovals
around the UK to try and capture the community
spirit of the japanese way of drifting.
Latest News
Practice Days
Drift UK have now booked some practice days at Norfolk Arena for october and november
The British Open Drift Championship:
As most people are aware Eurodrift has become a
great championship in 2007 but due some financial
issue we have had to cut the Sky Sports coverage
to 6 round but we are still running 7 with the
best 6 to count towards the championship.
However we thought that the final round at
Teesside could be turned into something a
bit special to finish 2007. Since its
beginning Eurodrift has set out to achieve an
infrastructure for drifting to be available all
over the UK. The British Open is the culmination of
4 years work to hold the first British Championship which
will establish Britain’s best drifter for 2007.
The event is open to all licensed drivers from N.Ireland, Wales,
England and Scotland.
We will run 2 Categories at the event, Amateurs and Pro class.
The pro class will be qualifying for 12 places and the other 4
will be the top 4 amateurs with a roll cage. The scores will
be taken from the qualifying scores in both classes to create
the top 16. This is unusual but the standard of drivers at
present is very high and some amateurs have scored higher in
qualifying than the pros.
This event is about showing how the standard at all levels
has increased and although some might not know the track,
this event is hoped to pull all driver from EDC and
Eurodrift and drivers from Northern Ireland together at a track
were speed and technical driving can come together.
Teesside was chosen as the venue meets all criteria for this
type of event, the details and agenda will be posted soon.
The cost will be £80 for this historic event.
We hope you will support this event like you have over the last 4 years.
