Red Bull Drift Competition 2011

Red Bull hosted a drifting competetion at the Mishrief Fair Grounds. I went to it and snapped these photos. 

Winner of the event, Saleh Bin Eidan from STS. Great drifting and definitely had the loudest turbo out of all the cars in the competition. 

Famous Lebense Rally Driver with full rally ready Subrau WRX STI. This guy came out a handful of times and was doing crazy drift maneuvers. A nice show.

Overall the event was cool. There was a huge lack of letting the people know what was going on though, and there were a handful of times where we would just be standing around for 15+ mins and nothing was going on. 

I also feel that they shouldn’t have allowed professional racing teams from Kuwait join. Most of the people who joined brought their lightly modified cars and there were some guys who had pretty good talent, but the pro drivers out-drifted them in every way because they’re pro and had professionally modified vehicles! 

But it was still awesome and fun. Hope it happens next year but with less dusty weather!
