We got the inside tip today that due to the economic slowdown, Toyo Tires Australia will not be title sponsor for the Drift Australia series, and as a direct result of this, Drift Australia wil be cutting back to a single round for 2009. The event will be held on the weekend of September 19-20 at Oran Park Raceway just outside of Sydney. Toyo Tires has been a title sponsor of Drift Australia since the inaugural 2005 season.
The Drift Australia team is working hard to find a new title sponsor, and plans to run a full schedule for 2010. We’ll keep you up to date on everything happening Down Under as we find out more.
