We want people in the North East to experience the art of drifting and all the extreme sports at the event. This will be an extreme event and we’re excited about all the support and positive comments so far. Working with road respect again for 2010 we are aiming to increase Road Respects Presence in the North east and hit there target market through JDM Allstars Events” Jeremy Forsberg from Road Respect said, “Road Respect is looking to take part in the JDM Allstars Drift Event at Nissan on 3 & 4 July 2010. Motor sports are engaging, should be fun and can be exciting, but there is a time and a place. We want everyone to recognize the guys out on the track are complete professionals and incredibly skilled. It’s a great opportunity for our campaign to engage with many people interested in motoring and what better way than with one of the most energetic and exciting motor sports around. We hope people learn a lot about driving skills, car control and to show that you can be legal and safe and still have fun at the same time. “ Earlier Road Respect teamed up with JDM Allstars and drift driver Anthony “Scotty” Scott to bring some high energy excitement with Krash TV at www.krashtv.co.uk, with the latest episode featuring Scotty displaying the drift ballet.
