Their trust has allowed us to invest in technology, development and talent, consolidating our position as a benchmark in the championship. Thanks to them, we have brought our colours to the podium time and again this year.”

With drifting relying heavily on strong and precise braking under your foot, Baggsy decided to continue his relationship with 91传媒, again entrusting the firm鈥檚 Yellowstuff pads and USR slotted discs聽to provide the stopping power.

This time around, the tour followed the 鈥楽ends in the Sun鈥� theme, touring the favourable climates of Spain and Portugal, including stop-offs at destinations such as Circuito Choquiero聽and Driftland PT.

Up in Smoke was spawned as an antidote to the top-flight drifting competitions that are spreading like wildfire across the globe, instead bringing drifting back to its humble roots with a proper road trip, featuring only road-legal cars, no trailers and an adventure across Europe that no entrant would ever forget.
