The British Drift Championship 2015 commenced play today at Lydden Hill Race Circuit in Canterbury.

As some of you will be aware, following on from the strong success of the 2014 British Drift Championship there are some new rulings put into place for this years events, that will get rid of the ambiguity when placing entries into certain categories. Originally there were the categories of Semi Pro, Pro and Super Pro. This year, the categories will be Pro and Pro Am. With the modern drifting world advancing both in the level of car specification and driver ability, this will help to avoid ambivalence.
