The time had come

After attending various practice days I thought it was time to up my game and see how i was progressing so i decided i would have a go at competing in what was called EuroDrift. This series was aimed at amatuers and Professionals who competed in each class against other from across the UK.

I attending a license day which was held local to where i live and was awarded an amatuer licence. The next round was to be held where the licencing took place so i thought i would enter. This is where i met my buddy CrossHatch (Marc) who was one of the co-founders of NightWalkers, who i had met briefly at a practice day and told him to compete as i thought he was very skilled.

The day went ok, the venue was ideal but i didnt care. I was putting my skills against other people from across the country.

I eventually got through to the "Top 8" along with Crosshatch out of about 25 drivers but sadly didnt get further as i took the wrong line and didnt acheive what the judges wanted, but after speaking to event organiser at the end of the day he informed me that myself and crosshatch had driven well enough to be bumped up to the Pro Licence Class. Both of us were chuffed.


Here a few snaps of myself at the event:

Soon after that event, a new championship was formed called the "British Drift Championship" (BDC) which would take the place of EuroDrift.
