I have just got back from the Round 3 of the British Drift Championship (I say just - about 4 hours ago) which was held at Teesside Autodrome. Despite suffering from sunburn I thoroughly enjoyed it and have come away with some great photos (approx. 13 gigabytes of them!!!). The day finished as follows:
  • 1st place: Steve Moore
  • 2nd place: Matt Carter
  • 3rd place: Paul "Smokey" Smith

Unfortunately, Mark Luney lost the twin battle against Simon Perry due to making a mistake on the exit of the final corner only yards from the finish line - the two rear wheels of his car left the track and the judges state that if two or more wheels leave the track then it is handled as a 10-0 to the other driver, Simon Perry in this particular case. For those interested, the SATS/Cosworth Toyota Supra he is driving this season is now producing 828bhp!!!

Also, Shane Lynch of Team Japspeed suffered mechanical failure to his 500+bhp 600+lbsft VH45DETT V8 powered Nissan S15 (apparently one or more of the bolts that fixes the cam wheel to the cam shaft had sheared) moments before the second run of a twin battle.

And Team Driftworks were not there, otherwise the podium may have looked a little different.


Still, it was a good day all-round and I am looking forward to Round 4 at Knockhill.


Official BDC Report

I am currently editing the final few of the BDC Round 5 2010 photos and submitting the first of them in my gallery, then the Drift Allstars 2011 Round 2 photos, after that the Scottish Motorshow photos, and finally, the BDC Round 3 photos - by which time, I will probably have photos from the following two events (see below). So I apologise for the delay and ask you to please be patient.
