Wembley Street Drift - Stage II - 9th August 2008

The JDM Allstars Wembley Street Drift event promises to be one of the most action packed motor sport events ever to happen in central London. Wembley London have very kindly given us permission to construct a purpose built street course, in the confines of Wembley stadium car park. With this huge expanse of area, a custom street track will be constructed to demonstrate what high speed drifting is all about, emulating street courses designed in Japan.

Set around the course will be an exciting plethora of activities for you to enjoy. There will be a retail village, with a broad variety of products relating to the sport, fashion and lifestyle of the Drifting industry. Also on offer will be fun fair attractions, children’s activities, go karting and a variety of food outlets to satisfy everyone’s taste.

" it's time to experience the thrill of REAL high speed drifting, welcome to JDM All Stars! "

Track Layout

Optimum views from every location. This track provides the initial high speed entry with a long right hander, flat in 3rd gear which will really warm up the tyres! The drifters will be very close to each other throughout the circuit but the first corner will provoke some real entertainment. There's a tight chicane layout to keep the drivers bumper to bumper as they battle for the exit and pull back into 3rd and 4th gear for the final section. - there can be only one victor!
