British Drift Championship. 2008 Series
The drift series for the UK's licensed amateur and pro-amateur drivers.
Drifting has become very popular within Europe mainly due to the way the sport has been adopted by the film and games industry. Japanese culture plays a large part in drifting, with the background of the sport stemming from the mountain roads of Japan and their highly tunable cars that are ideally suited. Although drifting is a highly competitive sport, the sense of camaraderie amongst drivers is legendary, it's what makes this motorsport a little different from the rest.
