KW DRIFT SERIES ROUND 1

HUNGARY

2008 time for a new champion....

We always have good time and good race when King of Europe is Hungary and once again this was the case!

 

For opening this season we had the chance to have a large amount of East drifters with new cars, like Adam Kerenyi with his new E36 3.8L "factory"-level car as well as "Lacky Boy" with an incredible E30 pickup powered by a supercharged V8!

Italian squadra was at King of Europe for the first time to show off the "adriatic" drifting style!

Vernon Zwaneveld and Kees Kok with a new powerful engined E30 (3.0L compressor) were there, no way to miss the first round for these 2 "crown hunters"....

All local drifters were ready to fight and keep the victory at home.... All the week-end was very nice and the fairplay was very good

French drifter Sebastien Anger with this orange Sierra Cosworth will do the whole series and expect a good final ranking!

After qualifications, the surprizing Radek was ranked number one with his orange/black Alpina E30, his #1 ranking was due to an incredible and impacting first qualification try but Kerényi Ádám was a serious contender to grab the win! Vernon and Kees were there as well to fill this qualification Top4.

Timofey Kosherny from Russia with his S14.5 is now improving days after days and the Top10 is no more a dream for him but a reality!  A bit of disappointment for the new italian drifters as well as Sebastien Anger who will do the whole drift series this year.

In the first round, we lost the incredible Puci aka Varga Tamas, he got beaten by Adam Kerenyi, as well as all Italian drifters, their level was very good but too much stress for this first time in KOE.  Last but not least Vernon Zwaneveld did not start very good for this new season but we know Vernon will play good in Chambley next round, he like the track!

In Top16, a fantastic battle between Kees Kok and Adorjan Szeles will lighten this Top16 and Kees the "old lion" will get through this Top16!  We will lost another good name in this Top16, Timofey from Russia due to a stupid spin out....

In 1/4 finals, things start to be serious, Hamon Gergely put through his E30 V8 against Radak Janos.  Kees Kok and Kerenyi Adam continue their way easily with the last qualified for the semi-finals : Bojan Kurbalija from Serbia, a true showman like we all saw during the opening ceremony.

In semi-finals, Supercharged Kees Kok took over the E30 V8 from Hamon Gergely in a hard battle, on the other semi final, one more time has been required for Kerenyi Adam to get victory against Bojan Kurbalija.

Kurbalija who will take easily the 3rd place in small final, a good surprise for this drifter who will play "at home" this summer in Kragujevac.

In the last battle, the final, Kees Kok and Adam Kerenyi made an incredible show during these 3 one more time, so close, so hard but only 1 drifter can win, this time it will be Adam and his new E36. Congratulations to him and congratulations as well to Kees who will be very hard to beat this year...
