Reigning European Champion to Drift in UK EDC round.
Remmo Niezen, the 2007 European Drift Champion (winner of both the major European championships in 2007, and currently No. 2 in the SportAuto/Yokohama Drift Challenge in Germany) is to drift at round 5 of the UK based EDC series. This will be a golden opportunity for Remmo to pit his skills against the UK's best and possibly the guest Japanese drivers. A consistent performer and avid drifter since the early 90's, Remmo's track skills should not be underestimated. Add to this the freshly built BMW E-30 V8 special and he should be very competitive in doing what he does best..Tsuiso. We wish Remmo and his team the very best of luck and lots of fun in the UK. 06.08.2008

The talented Mr. peanut
After the announcement that Lennard Wander is to quit the European Falken Drift Team, we are pleased to hear that he will be replaced by none other than "Mr Peanut" himself, Vernon Zwaneveld!! This comes at just at the right time for Vernon who was having doubts about the competitiveness of his Toyota AE86 for this season after a sponsor deal involving a new V8 powered BMW fell through. We wish Vernon, and the Falken Drift Team Europe the very best of luck for the coming season.

Due to unexpected events we will no longer be publicising information
regarding the IDC. A contract failed to materialise meaning it was impossible to continue on such an open ended basis with absolutely
no commitment from the organisers.

This year ends in an "8" and that's probably very significant because we know that there are going to be at least 7 drivers entering in cars with V8 powerplants this year including BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, General motors and Daimler/Chrysler. Besides the great sound, the torque and reliability of these engines should mean some very close competition this year.
We are looking forward to it!
Last weekend at the Racing Show in Liege, Belgium, Deborah Lopez (DRIFTANGEL) was awarded the RED BULL Youngstar Trophy. That RED BULL is taking an interest in drifting is a good sign that the sport is on the right path in Europe, and it's a good morale booster for Deborah who has fought hard to improve despite many technical setbacks in the last 2 years.
Also on display at the show was the new car for 2008 which will soon be fitted with a special tuned V8 Corvette engine from the USA.
