Richard decided against the competitive side of the drift scene and favoured using his skills and car to offer passenger rides at the car shows we all know and love. However this year he will be applying for his British Drift Pro Licence and impressively has entered Monster Energy & Ken Block’s Gymkhana Grid Event! But that’s not all, having driven half way across Europe to compete, successfully won the qualifying heat in France and will be taking part in the Final In Madrid in October!
