Thanks for the info! That's going to be an awful event! (Y) Do you have any details on the number of Middle East drifters participating?

About the Middle East drifters, we will come to round 3 and 4 of the Emirates Drifting Championship to seek for drifters.

If some of you are interested, let me know, as just said before, it is a unique opportunity to drift on the Dubai Autodrome and to discuss and exchange tips with european drifters.

Some amazing cars from Europe will be there to drift, like for example, this Skyline R34 with V12 quad turbos : 1000bhp and 1000kg, pure RWD power :D

I think that skyline will be there as a show car..

Plus, it's awd, not rwd..

But it would be cool this event.. to bad it's still so long away..

We bring from Europe only working cars but it is true the engine is still under ECU mapping now and it is not easy for a V12 quad turbos :|

I've seen under the car some weeks ago, i can confirm you it is RWD now and it will be for the drift challenge (Y)

Long way but well worth it...

GTR is AWD!!
BUT the CAR can be made pure RWD, the Electronic module which decides the torque split can be disabled...
Tat must be the fact!!!
