Supadrift fun at Carnival City
Eric ‘The Viking’ van Eyssen has also rocked the drift boat this year and is pushing hard for a podium finish in his S14 Nissan 2JZ powered beast.
For the second consecutive year, Carnival City plays host to the final showdown in the hotly contested Supadrift Series.
Some of the most daring drivers will convene at Ekurhuleni’s playground on September 28 and 29 to test their mettle in the season finale.
Carnival City’s marketing manager, Michelle Smith said: “This is extreme motorsport action at its very best. Expect fast cars, roaring engines and exhilarating skidding that will leave you gasping for breath. The Supadrift Series has great spectator value.”
According to Mikey Skelton, XS Promotions marketing director and co-founder of the SupaDrift Series, competition in the 2018 championship is stiff.
“Expect some close tandems and some insane driving right up to the prize-giving. This year’s championship is probably the most tightly contested ever. It’s going to set the precedent for next season.”
Monster Energy-sponsored Jason Webb, who has won four out of four Supadrift events so far, sets the benchmark for the finals. But with talented drivers such as KwaZulu-Natal driver Gavin Puren, in the mix, anything can happen.
The event also stages the Riaz Alibhai Cup, a trophy given to the winner of the day’s event in memory of the once talented driver. Riaz and his nephew Aqil died in a tragic motor vehicle accident in 2015.
