Read more: 10 Cars and 10 Tips to Choose a Budget Drift Car in 2024Selecting a budget drift car in 2024 involves considering factors such as affordability, availability of aftermarket parts, rear-wheel drive (RWD) configuration, and a strong enthusiast community for support. Here are ten examples of budget drift cars and key things to look for when choosing one: Nissan 240SX (S13/S14) What to Look For: Check for rust, particularly on the frame rails and strut towers.

Drift Masters European Championship // Mondello Park
Read more: Drift Masters European Championship // Mondello ParkAfter an action packed Saturday with the Irish Drift Championship battles I had no idea what to expect from the Drift Masters drivers who are much less familiar with the track. They did have trainings during the week, but that’s nothing compared to the Irish, who drift here for 15 years straight. https://youtu.be/0VGMQ5Wc3fo Remember, I did say that nobody was able to beat the Irish at home yesterday as well as the last 15 years. This Sunday would be the last opportunity of the year to do so. Top 10 finishers from IDC got the opportunity to drift with Europe’s…

Driftime 10 Aastat
Read more: Driftime 10 AastatTime flies. Everything changed in 10 years: back then I was just finishing university, James Deane was 17 years old, James Deen was 22 and James Dean would be 54. Drifting in all European countries was on a very grassroots level. Even Formula D was held only for two years. Estonian drag racing was on a rise before, but was declining, rally as well – drifting came between the Markko Märtin and Ott Tänak eras. We did have a vibrant street car culture: plenty of BMWs were roaring the streets and few guys turned their attention at drifting. I had…

Baltic Drift Championship // Riga / 2018
Read more: Baltic Drift Championship // Riga / 2018After long winter rest I find myself at a familiar track – Bikernieki circuit in Riga. It’s a fresh tradition to start the Baltic championship at this infamous track. Eline Berke does a great job, always bringing full house of spectators and more than 100 drivers. But don’t get your hopes up, most of the drivers are pro-am or street league. Only 21 or 22 drivers were fighting for top honours, and that is from 3 baltic countries. Why is that? Well, for sure few teams didn’t manage to finish the car yet, few guys may be interested only in…

Read more: History of Drifting at Goodwood Festival of SpeedDrifting is a common sight in most countries these days. Even Charles Gordon-Lennox, Earl of March and Kinrara invites them to pollute his backyard with Asian tire smoke during a classy event called Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Only difference between three-time Formula D champion Chris Forsberg and Sir Jackie Stewart is that the first one is more accessible and friendly in the paddock area. This year drifting was back to Goodwood hillclimb course for the fourth time, but how did it get âthe…
