Carnival Carnage at Round 2 – The Rock Raceway 21 April.

This past weekend a healthy contingent of drifters invaded The Rock Raceway for the first round of the Japan Auto Drift series for 2012.

While the Silver Cup doesn’t carry championship points nor prize monies, trophies are still awarded; encouragement for those still cutting their teeth. Taking the win here was Dennis Palm in the Nissan Skyline R30 GTX with Duane Small taking second and young 17-year old Mozambican, Chail Cassamo claiming third. Read the rest of this entry →

On the back of an exciting SupaDrift final, we cast our attention a little further East for the Japan Auto Series Final.
