British Drift Championship - a stunning short film

British Drift Championship (BDC) - a stunning short film by Stephen Brooks

If ever you needed to see why the British Drift Championship is so popular, watch this stunning short film produced by Stephen Brooks, where he captures the scene, the mood and the excitement involved with the 2010 Championship. We felt this film was too good not to share with others!

You can view the film on the Modified Car Insurance page of our website. Believe us when we say it is one of the best short films you will see about drifting.

If you are unfamiliar with the UK Drift scene, there are plenty of events that you can get along to see - and you will be able to check out the Driftworks Team, sponsored by Sky Insurance, in action. We are confident you will not be disappointed!

Feel free to leave your feedback

Thanks

Ollie

Nice 1 Ollie, dont think people will appreciate it on here tho. People on here are terrified of modified cars and RWD. :cheesy:

I've been on Driftworks for awhile now, and skid a bmw 328.

I dont mind RWD cars, dont like modified japanese cars, they lack the sublime elegance of a well designed european car, i know they have lots of power but none has the nice sound of an alfa v6. My only experience of driving a RWD car has been my big merc, and from what i can understand is the tail likes to go wide a lot, it sways a lot, you fight for control and hopefully it comes back in line. Ive also experienced RWD in my suzuki when it snapped out of 4wd and into RWD mode the whole thing spun 360 and it was as scary as F*ck, so much i actually did it again.

I quite enjoy the feeling of a car going sideways, its scary but enjoyable. So if i was to buy a diff car id buy something no one sees at these events, but i like and it looks the buisness:

A jaaag drifting, im sure its capable of it, its got all the ingredients here a big powerful torquey engine (with a proper v8 sound) and rear wheel drive. Only the jag has a carphone which sets it apart from the rest, even though the carphone is probably on the old analogue system and doesnt work anymore.
