Early on a Sunday morning, the massive Nissan plant in Sunderland echoed to the sound of screaming engines and tortured tires, as the British Drift Championship 2011 came to a climax with the final round. Practice and qualifying had produced some surprise results, leaving all three classes well and truly up for grabs. As the gates opened to the public, the Super-Pro practice sessions were well underway. A few mechanical woes were sorted during the night ... ... but some problems were just too big...

EVENT>> BDC FINALS @ NISSAN SUNDERLAND PT.I

Filed under: Event, Drifting, UK, BDC, Ross Ianson, British Drift Championship 11

It had been a long month of drifting as we approached the final of the British Drift Championship. Four major events and 2500 miles later, I can't quite believe the 2011 Drift season is over. It just seems like yesterday I was making my way north to Donnington Park for the opener of BDC six rounds ago. It has been quite a season in BDC. Surprise results, drama, special guests in the form of D-Mac and Fredric Aasbo entering the Silverstone round and above all truly epic driving in every round...

Darren: Hello Speedhunters!! And welcome to the competition launch of the D-Mac86 on home soil (well sort of) I've been looking forward to returning to one of my old stomping grounds, Silverstone circuit in the UK for quite some time. I left the UK drift scene a good while ago after my D1GP success in Silverstone led me to Irwindale and Formula D. My initial excitement for returning to European competition was dampened by the unknowns of a new car build. It was going to be really difficult to...

PREVIEW>> 2009 IRELAND & UK DRIFTING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Filed under: Drifting, UK, Driftworks, EDC, Prodrift, Ireland, JDM Allstars, Paddy McGrath, BDC

It would seem that for every year that passes that the Irish & UK drifting scene always surpasses itself. Since the first pair of tires were burnt in anger back in 2001, the scene here has expanded into something beyond what any of us could of imagined. Although we may not have factory backed teams like in the USA, it would appear that it is only a matter of time before we are on a similar playing field with our American cousins.
