For those not attending the Mozambique event, and those situated in the Eastern Cape, there’s still some drift action going down this weekend for you at the East London Grand Prix Circuit.

The local drifters are running a fund raising drift practice event to raise some much needed funds to upgrade the track. This will help bring the track up to spec and allow for future events to be held at this great venue.

You’ll be able to ride shotgun in a suicide ride in either one of the spec drift cars or a street legal variant for a small fee. It’s a great way to experience the thrill of drifting first hand. If you’re wanting to go in one of the competition cars it will cost you R150 while a suicide ride in one of the street drift cars will set you back R100. That’s small money for the experience of a lifetime. Entry to the event is a minimal R20 per car.

Gates will open on Sunday 11 September and will end when the tyres are finished.

With enough support, the upgrades will see future SupaDrift and other drift events take place in East london, possibly as soon as next year.
