New venues bring with it new crowds, new adventures and new excitement and it’s always guaranteed to be a fresh experience.

Such was the case this past weekend when the SupaDrift fraternity descended on the coastal nook that is Port Shepstone for the KZN leg of the 2012 SupaDrift series. The venue was the brand new Dezzi Circuit, a playground built in the one Dez Gutzeit’s back yard – literally. Read the rest of this entry →

For the longest time, SupaDrift has been hosted at Pretoria based Zwartkops Raceway but this weekend tradition was broken as drifters from all around the country converged on the coastal town of East London and invaded the East London Grand Prix Circuit.

‘Slummies’ played host to the second round of the SupaDrift Series for 2012 and for many that are well familiar with the SupaDrift scene, it was the first time that they were subjected to the fast, long bends of the track. Read the rest of this entry →

SupaDrift Round 1 – It Never Rains, It Pours

This past weekend, round 1 of the SupaDrift series 2012 kicked off at Zwartkops Raceway and it was clear to see, with the number of entries, that this was an event well waited for.

There were 31 entries for the day and the level of drifting has increased immensely. It was proven on Saturday as the competitors went all out.

We saw the return of old faces but also welcomed some new. Some new drivers joined including Riaz Alibhai, Paola Gouveia, Jean Mare and Duane Small. Also joining were regular faces in fresh looking cars, looking really good. Aubrey Hiles, Shaun Cornelius, Jason Webb, Wade Van Zummeren as well as Mikey Skelton all sported new looks on the day.

Drifters were given time on Saturday morning to get more seat time in before Qualifying started at 13:00 as there was an interesting yet effective change used on the track. After pull away, drivers had their usual initiation box that was followed by an inside clipping point, running wide to a rear clipping point, then switching into a rear clip tire wall and then ended with a rear clipping point.
