But after such a long wait (due to other commitments) i now have photos finished. ![]() The event was held over a three-day long weekend for Australia day at Tailembend Motorsports park and consisted of the final round for 2014 and the first round of 2015.Īs usual every round of the Drift challenge Australia series, a pro international driver is brought over to compete. Some of these drivers have been the likes of Naoki Nakamura and Miki Yabuuchi, Naoto Suenaga, Ryan Tuerck, and Chelsea Denofa. This round was no different and pro D1GP driver Masashi Yakoi from MCR Factory came over for the challenge. If you are heavily into drifting you will no doubt know who Yakoi is and what his driving style is like. Yakoi is one of my favorite drivers and when I found out he was going to be at this round I was super excited to say the least. not only to meet him and see his awesome driving, but also at the chance to get some stickers and possibly a cam cover for my Silvia. Yakoi is also very well-known for his painting skills and some of his sr20 cam covers are as well-known as him.Īnd having the chance to get a photo with Yakoi was a plus. I did get this printed and signed over the weekend. The Friday of the event was the final round of the 2014 series and it also came down to the line for the championship win. In the end it came down to 2 drivers to take out the championship and with a trip to Hungary with a supplied car to compete in a European series. Those drivers were Stewy Bryant and Jordan Graham. The day started off with a practice session where passengers were allowed in cars.

Afterwards all drivers jumped straight into qualifying.ĭue to commitments I was unable to make it to the second day of the event to see the finals of round four and qualifying for round one of 2015. The winner of the round was SA driver Jay Duca. Jay was also the winner of the 60min to win it jam session where the winner got a $500 bar tab at the after party. this was funny as Jay doesn’t drink so plenty of beers were shared around. Sadly i missed the after party, and if you have been to a DCA party, you know they get pretty wild. The winner of The championship was Stewy Bryant from SA. On the third day of the event was round one of the 2015 season. Qualifying was done the previous day so the morning started off with another small practice session before the final battles started. Half way through battles there was a lunch break. ![]() there were some very nice cars at this round such as Blake Patersons s14. I have become a big s-chassis fan since I bought my s14 Silvia. This was also a good time to catch up with mates and talk about the event and general car topics. This seemed to be where all the cool kids were hanging out during lunch.Īfter lunch we headed back into the top 4 battles. The final battle came down to Stewy Bryant vs Masashi Yakoi. Both drivers drove on the very edge of perfection and had to do multiple re-runs.
