2013 marks the sixth year of the British Drift Championship, now with the support of some of the largest motorsport companies in the world! This year’s championship will be held over five rounds at some of the best tracks in the UK, including the BDC’s long-awaited return to one particular venue.
Support from Cosworth, K&N, Samco, Lucas Oils and many others is proof that the sport of drifting (and the British Drift Championship in particular) is now the place to be seen and is well-recognised as the pinnacle of drifting in the UK and Ireland.

From 1330 the drivers will then go out on track to put in the all important qualifying runs in an attempt to gain a place within the top 16 in each class.

Its with great pleasure we can now announce another new team for the Maxxis British Drift Championship 2012.
Following the success of other tyre sponsors within the championship this group of three drivers have achieved full backing from another tyre sponsor for the UK’s premier drift championship.
The Lassa Tyres Drift Team is now officially announced.
The company based in Turkey has been involved with various motor sports over a number of years but has recognised drifting as the perfect place to bring brand awareness to their range of tyres.
The drivers in the team are Richard McCourt, Jody Fletcher and last but no means least Simon Perry.
The three cars were shown to the public for the first time last night at a regular event organised by Simon near Barnsley, the new colour scheme for the three cars was deemed a massive success.
Richard in his second year of competitive drifting drifting has rebuild his car over the winter period, with new changes and with the backing of Lassa Tyres is aiming for podium finishes and promotion to the Professional class.
Jody Fletcher is already a contender in the Super Professional class having gained promotion mid season from the Professional class. Jody was also awarded the BDC rookie of the year 2011 and his wild driving style means he will be one to watch in 2012.
Simon Perry needs little introduction, drifting since the beginning of the BDC in 2008 he has a massive following locally and nationally. His brightly coloured car and huge commitment on every track he drives has taken him very close to winning the championship on more than one occasion.
Simon said ” Having Lassa Tyres on board is a huge step forward, with the fantastic grip the tyres have to offer I am aiming high in 2012 and can not wait to get on track at Teesside on April 21st and 22nd! Its going to be a great season!”
We look forward to see all three drivers out on track in 2012 and wish them all the best of luck.
Many thanks
The BDC team.
