Drifting: The Pro Alcohol Racing Fuels Drifting Championship 2018

Monday, 19 March 2018, 12:12 Last update: about 7 years ago

It turned out to be a warm spectacular day full of adrenalin and entertainment.  The day started with free practice runs where all drivers had the opportunity to get to grips with the track whilst mastering the techniques needed.  After briefing; the qualifying’s started where each and every driver gave his best, and were given points based on line, clipping zones, angle, speed and style.  Big thanks goes to our 3 judges: Kaysie Wood, Nauris Pudans and Yogi De Villa!

We have seen a very good level of drifting with the overall level always improving and new members always joining in.  Today we had 7 PRO Drivers with some that have made a comeback and 6 Street Legal Drivers with almost all new comers!

The results after a long day full of smoke @ Hal Far Raceway were as follows:

Street Legal: 1st Place – Sam Schembri with his 350z and 2nd place - Clint Abela with his skyline.

PRO Category: 1st Place – Andrea Fabri with his Enemed Toyota Supra, 2nd place – George Muscat with his 350z and 3rd place – Kenneth Micallef with his BMW!

Big thanks to Motorsmt for the livestreaming of the entire event; with over 20,000 views from different nations worldwide!

Thank you to everyone that helped; such an event would not happen without the time, dedication and support of everyone involved.

The Next round is going to be held on the 14th April at Hal Far raceway. Follow us on our facebook page ‘Malta Drifting Association’ to keep in tune with all updates.

An exciting year ahead… Keep in tune… Keep Drifting fun!
