Drifting fans can brace themselves for a humdinger of a showdown when the hotly contested SupaDrift Series comes to a roaring crescendo with the Series 06 Finals at Carnival City on September 29 and 30.<\/p>\n
The 2017 championship has seen stiff competition and it all culminates during this last weekend battle.<\/p>
\u201cThis finale will set the tone for next season, with close tandems and insane driving leading up to the final prize-giving,\u201d said Mikey Skelton, XS Promotions marketing director and co-founder of the SupaDrift Series.<\/p>\n
Drivers like Achilles Tyres\u2019 sponsored Jim McFarlane will certainly bring the challenge to the rest of the talented field.<\/p>
Challenger, Paolo Gouveia, a Prepsol sponsored driver, has much to prove in this final round for 2017.<\/p>\n
Gouveia said he has massive respect for his competitors and knows he has to make it count on the blacktop on competition day.<\/p>\n
Gavin Puren, who stands a chance to be on the podium after the final event, said: \u201cNobody can afford to rest.<\/p>\n
