FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Drifting Poised to Infiltrate Toronto Market
Toronto, ON – August 4th, 2006 – After an exhilarating start to the season with three events in the province of Quebec, the Castrol DMCC drifting series prepares to make the journey westward, and for the first time ever, present an authentic professional competition in Toronto.
Toronto drift fans have eagerly been waiting for an event such as this for quite some time. Anticipation has been building since the special drifting demonstration organized by the DMCC during the Grand Prix of Toronto this past July. “Judging from the reaction we received from the spectators, media and organizers, our drifting demo was a huge crowd pleaser.” said Alex Crepault, General Director, Castrol DMCC. “If this is any indication of what awaits us at our upcoming Toronto event, then we will be ready to put on a show like never before.”
The top 16 seated drivers are expected to be competing at Toronto Motorsports Park on August 12th. Fan favorites like Vancouver’s Hideki Nishimura and Daryl Rebeck of Team Toyo Drift alongside Team Yokohama’s Ben Alden of New York State and Haig Kanadjian of Montreal will be present in full force. Toronto drift fans will be treated to the adrenaline pumping performances of Team Continental’s Marco Santos as well as newcomer Fred Girard in his JDM Skyline R32. Although there have been a few amateur drifting demonstrations held in Toronto in the past, the Castrol DMCC will be the first event to showcase true Japanese inspired tandem battle drifting. Canada’s best drifters will face off against many American teams including New Hampshire’s Ryan Tuerk and Virginia’s Nathan Brasz in their Nissan 240SX’s. All teams will be focused on final point standings as the Toronto event represents the 2006 season finale.
If you have yet to witness drifting in person, or have always been curious to see what the buzz is about, the opportunity has finally presented itself. Come find out first hand why drifting has become the fastest growing motorsport in the world. Round 4 of the Castrol DMCC is scheduled for August 12th at Toronto Motorsports Park. This will officially be the first ever sanctioned drifting event to take place in Ontario.
