The British Drift Championship has now expanded into a new division of competitive drifting, and will carry the name of DriftCup – a championship conceived and organised for grassroots drifters. We truly do need more of these kinds of unique classes of drifting, made for the drifters, organized by the drifters.
A series designed for street-driven and every-day drift cars, the Drift Cup will bring the soul and spirit of Japanese amateur drift events to the UK, where having a good time and pushing yourself and your car takes precedence over egos and glory.
The series will consist of three one-day championship rounds held at venues around the country that boast a strong grassroots following and track layouts that reward a committed, close-quarters style of drifting with the aim introducing drivers to competitive drifting.
The rounds will be split into two classes, with the Street class open only to road-registered and taxed vehicles with no requirement for a roll cage. The Cup class caters for those with higher-specced cars, with simple roll cages and basic safety gear being all that is required to compete.
The 2014 DriftCup rounds are:
Round 1: Driftland – 17th May
Round 2: Teesside – 3rd August
Round 3: Lydden Hill – 11th Oct
