Racecar have just launched a new site for drift star - "Mr Doricar". James Wolstenholme will be sponsored this year by Racecar.com, MRTuning, BTB Exhausts, Gripper Diffs.
First event is this weekend at Donington where James will join 40 other hopefuls aiming to qualify for their D1 licence - enabling them to compete at Official UK D1 sanctioned events.
At the last minute the Vauxhall XE engine blew on James' Corolla hybrid during a last minute dyno session. Not to be deterred - James put on his blagging cap and ended up with the use of Powerdrift's gorgeous Nissan 180SX drift car.
Message from James@
"A very big thanks must go out to Nick and Steve from Powerdrift. They are a Japanese car import company who now specialise in bringing the creme de la creme of drift cars from Japan. They can bring in £3,000 street drift cars right up to £50,000 D1 machines. Due to our problems with the XE86 we would have been unable to compete in the D1 License Event this weekend but thanks to Powerdrift I now have a drift-spec 180SX to use. Thank you guys!"
