- Clarkes progression in drifting in just 3 years
- In January 2021 and Clarke 11yrs old we bought BMW E36 Compact with a 2.8 conversion and self taught drifting on wet tracks.
- 2022 we have started building a BMW 2019 2 Series Coupe Pro Car for Clarke to prepare to qualify for his Pro licence in the IDC and Drift League by the end of 2023. in 2022 Clarke came 3rd in IDC Jnr's and 12th in the BDC Pro 2 which is an amazing result in his 1st year of competition. Please note we built a new chassis that has never really been used in drifting which we had to develop along with Clarke.
