DriftWars came back to the Athens Auto festival the 24th of May 2009 and for the usual suspects night -drifting event. Pleasing the cheerful audience with the sight of all the drifting action.
In the racing part undoubtedly it was time for Kouroupis Nikos(AE86 SR20DET) aka DriftBoy to take his first win, after the misfortune of Sparta round2 in which he broke his axle just before the final. He was seeking the next opportunity to win and he succeed. This year the new engine he is running is much better, and the driver is able to get greater angles and he is able to maintain a very good flow and is has become more consistent, which is bringing him results.
So as he did in the Auto Festival event, he is driving more with his mind which got him his first time win at DriftWars. Coming in 2nd, Nick Zilimpinakis didn’t left much room as he took full use of the brutal power his turbo engine 3.6 lt M-power which makes tons of power under the swollen hood of the beautiful M3 E30.
In 3rd place Konstantaras Panagiotis (AE86 2,0 LT) after the small final vs Leontis Hercules( SIERRA cosworth). Kapotis Kostas(M3 M5) was unlucky though he made the top point pass of the day, but he had his moment with the battle vs Zilimpinakis and confined to the 5th position.
During the summer break we are sure that cars and drivers will be improved and we expect even more cool development levels from the drivers. It seems that in next round which is the co-organization with the final event for the King of Europe series will be astonishing.
Join us the 26th-27th of September which will be held with the final event of the King of Europe series that will take place in Greece Serrescircuit along with the 4th round of DriftWars…
