Drift Kings is Back!

We are delighted to announce that the hugely popular Drift Kings event will return to Japfest Silverstone for 2019!

Drift Kings sees 40 drivers from the British Drift Championship, as well as some of the front runners from feeder series DriftCup, to come and show what they're made of in front of thousands of fans at the British home of motorsport.

The cream of the BDC crop head to Silverstone vying for the overall prize and they'll be on track for three, 40-minute sessions where they will be judged on various elements. In the first session they'll be judged on the line they take around Brooklands and Luffield, and then it's all about speed as they have their drift initiation speed measured at the end of the Wellington straight, with top drivers hitting oveer 100mph as they start their drift. That's pretty damn impressive.

We'll be announcing the details of the driver lineup nearer the time, so keep your eyes peeled because you do not want to miss these guys.
