Cape Town fans will be entertained with amazing car control and sideways antics, whilst bellows of smoke are rear-projecting from the tyres burning on the tarmacs topside. Professional drifters, who have skilled themselves, over the six years of the lifespan of the SupaDrift, are preparing for a very fast entry onto the famous Killarney oval and one should note that, where there be serious amounts of torque and power, there should be the enivitable grumble of V8's and turbo-charged machinery on display.
"We cannot wait to get to Cape Town and Killarney, as we have travelled the country and visited the best raceways over six years; its only time that we come and make a huge drift scene and create hype at Cape Towns finest motorsports venue," says Jim McFarlane, co-founder of the SupaDrift Series.
Further to what may be a grudge event for local drivers from the Cape; as the inside scoop has designated it a classic North vs South affair, and ironically, as the first event unfolded at the end of February, the Kwa-Zulu Natal contingent came out tops. Shane Gutzeit, from Port Shepstone, beating all other competitors and taking the SD01 title, is not only a keen contender in Cape Town in his 4-cylinder S15 Nissan, but has also laid claim to beating the 2015 SupaDrift Series Champion, Jason Webb, a Cape Town resident and local drift hero.
The Supadrift Series will take place on 29 and 30 April 2016 at Killarney International Raceway. Tickets are R80 for adults and R50 for children and will be available at the door.
