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 →

Fans of The Rock Raceway had to wait a few additional weeks for their drifting fix this month thanks to the Easter holidays but the second round of the Carnival City WOMZA Drift Championship didn’t fail to deliver the action.

While morning practice suggested that we were looking at a smaller field than we’re used to, a total of 24 entries made for exciting drifting. Unlike the Japan Auto Series, the Carnival City rounds do not include a silver cup elimination. This makes things even more daunting as drivers have to qualify in the top 16 in order to continue racing on the day. Read the rest of this entry →

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.
