Fredric Aasbo is probably my favourite driver in Formula D at the moment, and this weekend, the British Drift Championship invited him to take part in their 5th round of the championship. I'm not doing the whole championship this year, but there was no way I could miss this one..
The morning rain SUCKED!. But I despite the Driftworks S15 being a complete pig in the wet, I managed to qualify in 1st place, with Fredric in 2nd place.
The afternoon dried up nicely, and after battling through a host of amazing competitors, it ended with myself and Fredric in the final. Both of us with very similar 'balls out' styles, both of us with very well put together cars, and both of us running the fantastic Federal 595RSR Tyres.
After both runs, neither the crowd or the judges could make a decision, but directly after announcing it would go one more time, Silverstone put an end to the day due to the over running timetable, and potential noise complaints. So the judges HAD to call it from the two runs. Fredric won the event by the smallest of margins because he had followed my line slightly more accurately than I did when following him, and to be honest I was more than happy with coming in close 2nd to such an amazing competitor
Here's a few pictures from the weekend.
Against Buff. Is there ever a day at Silverstone where we don't end up against each other?
And my biggest 'moment' of the day against David Waterworth, who drove superbly! I was milimeters from piling into him on the first corner, and only managed to save myself by clutching in with the engine on the rev limiter and dumping the clutch a few times to stay sideways. (Carbonetics triple carbon clutch saves the day!)
