IDC rd. 6

After all this little successes i thought i should finish the IDC championship and see what i can get. Luckily i found a Sponsorship wich supported me with brand new tires and so my car got a new outfit with a lot of funky stickers :)

Hungary was the next place to be - A nice carting track near Budapest was our next target.

After a very long trip without sleeping we had some nice trainings with the hungarian drifters.

We put all Pro Drivers together for qualification, so there were nearly 70 drifters fighting for the top16.
Judging was very interesting, because 2/3 were judged by the driftbox score and 1/3 was judged by a team of international judges (line and style)
My overall result was position 4 (IDC 3) wich was not too bad. But i had the advantage to practice with the driftbox in the past so i knew how to get a good score = massive angle.

My first oponent in hungary was Alex Gräff, another german drifter in a V8 powered E28. After having a massive advantage in the first run by 8:2 for me i took it easy in the 2nd run. I struggles to keep the low speed alex was going and spun in the last corner - damn!

the new look of my car:

We just had to go there again. So many nice people, good drifters and a cool racetrack.

So we went to the Finals of the Avto Magazin Drift pokal in 2009.

The Judging ist a bit different over here:
Top16 = 4 runs and 3 out of them will be judged
Top8 = 4 runs and all 4 will be judged - no mistake allowed ;)
after that twin battles.

I qualifyed into the top 16, and messed it up then endet up taking place 8 for me. But the big Final was the night drifting. We had to qualify again wich i did with brand new grippy tires on the rear and did a 100 point run - awesome tires!

My first oponent was the austrian vice champion in a 360bhp E30 - a lighter car and more Power than me - i was a bit excited. But took the advantage of my tires and won 7:3 and 7:3.

Nest one pleas :) Here he was Cimpo the slowenian champion and a very agressive drifter in a highly modifyed E36 M3. Okay i just tryed my best and spun out in the 2nd corner - next run was a 8:2 but im shure Cimpo did´nt fully attack .
