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…

Estonian Drift GP // Drift Allstars / Outtakes
Read more: Estonian Drift GP // Drift Allstars / OuttakesWhen an event is close to your home, you’re able to devote more time to it. Especially when it’s one of the highlights of the year. This time I was writing the article for Speedhunters, I feel that I covered Estonian drift scene quite well without being boring or writing too much about it – it wasn’t a complete history of course, but probably I will try myself on something like that for the 10th Anniversary (I have all the material from Day 1). You can read Speedhunters story and check the main pictures HERE. Below you can see my…

The thing is, it will be featured on Speedhunters a bit later, so I can’t share all the goodies with you just yet. It will be out in the end of August, so stay tuned. Still, I uploaded few tasters – enjoy!

Read more: ESTONIAN PRO-DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP 2014In 2014 Estonian Drift Association performed the biggest job yet. Two events were held in Tallinn and every location was new to everybody. Drivers worked on the cars and appearance pretty well and already in May ’14 we witnessed new pro-drivers, new never-seen-before cars and sponsors. Team Smokehunters’ fleet consisted of a well known BMW 2002 and a completely new Ford Mustang with a BMW “inside”. Their main rival, both on the track and on the web (fight for fans on facebook is very consistent), Team Ghost got a big sponsor and was looking strong. Team NRR ditched the E30…
