Team event for Saturday night confirmed

As most of you will know, the Drift Matsuri events aren’t just a drift practice day.

There are additional elements to the events which make them stand out from our normal drift events.

This year we are delighted to announce the return of the popular ‘Team Triple Drift Competition’.

This will take place on the Outer Paddock on Saturday night under flood lights.

Teams of three cars will battle it out to see who will be crowned champions in 2018.

*** Only drivers who are taking part in the event may take part, no drafting people in ***

We have room for 16 teams only, we will do a live draw to see which lucky teams will be entering the competition.

The champagne is already on ice and the trophies for the winners are here waiting to be presented.

Who can take part in the event? We hear you ask.

ANY DRIVER who is driving at the event can take part!

Teams must be made up of three cars and drivers, you will drive together and be judged on your runs.

Who will be judging? The crowd will be the judges, we know the wall will be filled with people cheering on their drivers. We will have a panel of guest judges watching over the event who will give their opinion should there be a need for a One More Time.

To enter the event, you must fill in the following form with your team name and a list of drivers in your team.

Places will be limited, we will do a LIVE draw to see who will be the lucky teams to take part in the event.

You have 5 days to sort out your team names and the drivers in your team. Then submit your application and we will do the rest.

*** Drivers can only drive in one team ***

Get your strobes, neons and light bars ready to be part of the action!

Once the teams have been picked, we will start a Facebook group for the team captains where all the information you need for the event will be announced.

*** >>>Team Triple Drift entry form<<<***

Good luck!

The Drift Matsuri 2017 date confirmed

THE end of the season event everybody wants to attend has been confirmed.

The Drift Matsuri will once again return to the wonderful circuit of Anglesey Circuit in north Wales.

There will be three tracks, an open pit lane, night time drifting, and of course, the after party!

More details coming soon!

Spring Matsuri 2017: The Report

The 2017 kicked off with Spring Matsuri at Rockingham Motor Speedway, it’s the second time that this event has started the season following on from the success of Drift Matsuri at the end of each season.

Four separate tracks across a single venue awaited the drivers, two fast layouts featuring sections of the oval complete with banking complemented the fast twists and turns of the infield.

The final track was a new layout in the outer paddock which was open for all of the drifters to use on Saturday, Driftcup round 1 would then use this track on Sunday.

One of the highlights at these events is the wide selection of cars that drivers choose, from RX7s, AE86s, 350Zs and a whole host of R and S bodies.

Marc Huxley’s Celica is always a crowd favourite and driving a rare car doesn’t change his all out driving style at all, running the wall around the top of the banking.

This event brings together drivers of all skills from amateurs to BDC Pros, all with the aim of having the most amount of fun possible out on track and in the pits with their friends.

On Saturday night if a full day of drifting hadn’t been enough entertainment, the night battles would solve that. This year teams of three drivers would have to impress the crowd if they wanted to take the win.

Plenty of action followed over the next couple of hours before Team NoChill took the victory.

Away from all of the track action there was plenty to do including an RC track, skate park and the party through to the early hours of Sunday.

Another day of drifting awaited on the main tracks whilst Driftcup attracted the crowds to the outer paddock.

By the end of the weekend many tyres had been shredded & many smiles and laughs were had. It was another successful start to the season that looks to be one of the best that Britain has seen!

We will leave you with more photos from the event, until next time…

Whats on where

As we get set for THE drift event to kick off the season in style, we can now show you a sight plan so you know whats on where!

In the middle of the main grandstand you will find the wonderful Diner that will be serving refreshments all weekend long.

There is a pedestrian walkway under the grandstand which will give you access to the inner pit area. Make sure you check out the view from the top of the pit garages!

In Garage 25/26/27 you will find the RC drift track set up, this will be a 1/10th scale replica of the Outer Paddock and HEL DriftCup track! If you have an RC drift car, bring it with you and have a go! There will be cars for you to have a go!

The half pipe will be set up in the inner paddock area where Webbie and his crew will be doing their thing!

From 16:30 the car park out side the welcome centre will become the Triple Drift paddock area,  make sure you leave this area free for the competitors!

After that there will be THE party in the Welcome Centre, Mike Lewis will be on hand playing some banging tunes until late!

On Sunday, HEL Performance DriftCup will get under way from 09:00 with practice! See the talent of tomorrow today!

Its going to be a fantastic weekend and an event NOT to be missed!
