Tectaloy International Drift to light up Eastern Creek.

Following the success of the Tectaloy Drift Challenge at last year’s WTAC, 2011 will see the introduction of a “double header” format with the Yokohama World Time Attack running throughout the day and as soon as the sun sets the last few turns of Eastern Creek raceway will be lit up for a drift show like never before seen in Australia as our local heroes battle it out with some of the most famous drift cars on the planet.

“Whilst Australia has been somewhat lacking of a national series for the past couple of years, this is certainly not the case in other regions of the world and we do not believe that the Australian fans should miss out on this spectacular sport, so with the support  of our major sponsor Tectaloy Performance Coolants it has been possible to bring in some international superstars that our local guys would have only ever dreamed of competing against in the past, and by combining it with World Time Attack we will give sponsors, spectators and entrants the benefit of having two events for the price of one, something that I do not believe has been done before in Australia” said Superlap CEO Ian Baker.

With Beau Yates already confirming he will be returning to defend the title he earned in 2010 and many other top level Australians also expressing interest this will be one will be one event that is not be missed by anyone with even a passing interest in the world of drift.

“This event is milestone for drift in Australia and when I was shown the calibre of the overseas cars that were interested in attending we knew we were on the right track. This is not only a way to connect directly with our consumers but also a perfect showcase for our product as we know that many of the top cars are already using our product and if there is any form of motorsport that will put our product to the test it is the sport of drift, with engines often held on the rev limiter for extended periods.” said Doug Iric, National Marketing Manager for ITW Aamtec (Tectaloy).

As this event will be deemed an international event with worldwide media exposure guaranteed for both the drivers and the sponsors, we require all vehicles and drivers to be of a standard deemed suitable by the organisers and we will be releasing entries in the coming weeks.

If you would like to receive an “expression of interest” form outlining these requirements send us an email request.

We will be announcing the international cars and superstars over the coming weeks and I can guarantee you that no one will be disappointed!
