Jim McFarlane claimed his second Red Bull Car Park Drift title at Suncoast Arena, on 15 April. The Jozi-based driver outclassed 24 of South Africa’s top drifters in this unique competition. Paolo Gouveia and Michael Skelton rounded out the podium. Full report
Participants from all over the country will descend on Suncoast and be put through their paces, until the top 16 are selected to go head-to-head on the 15th April where the 2023 national winner will be crowned and go on to fly the Mzansi flag high at the World Finals in Qatar later in the year.
This year Durbanites will be able to get in on the tyre-screeching action live as spectators are invited into the fore; they will be able to watch on as participants are tested on a course known to test drifters both physically and mentally.
