The British Drift Championship 2009.
We are proud to announce the 2009 calendar for the British Drift Championship. The 5 Round 2009 Championship has been put together with great care and detail to ensure that the BDC continues to evolve in a positive direction and represent the best multi-class drifting championship in Britain.
Central to the 2009 BDC calendar are events which offer our competitors maximum seat time in a relaxed yet professional environment. The unique atmosphere that our teams and drivers enjoyed during 2008 will continue to define the BDC as we work to involve a larger international field of drivers across all classes.
BDC 09 is structured to take in both demanding 100mph tracks and smaller more technical venues. As a result, BDC 09 drivers will be tested, challenged and judged across all aspects of drifting competition.
BDC 09 Venues are also chosen with our spectators in mind. This years venues will offer a safe yet close-up view of all of the action and the 2009 BDC paddock will be arranged in order to invite our spectators to interact with teams, sponsors & drivers.
It is with great pleasure we can now reveal the dates of the BDC season 2009 and we look forward to seeing all of our teams at round 1 to kick-start what will be a historic year for British drifting.
Round 1 - 11th April Donnington Park – The Launch Pad
As one of the main attractions of the ITS (International Styling & Tuning Show) ISTS - International Styling & Tuning Show (http://www.istsuk.com/) The BDC will be staging our first event on a purpose built track. This will allow us to create the perfect layout for record speed entries and fast flowing corners.
Britain’s new home of Formula 1 will witness a drifting competition unlike anything previously staged at this historic circuit.
Round 2 - 23rd May Llandow Circuit - South Wales
The BDC makes a welcome return to one of the driver’s favourite tracks of 2008. With a tight sections followed by fast flowing curves this venue has everything to test to our drivers.
Round 3 - 13th June Lydden Hill - Kent
The BDC returns to the fantastic venue of Lydden Hill in Kent. This venue saw the BDC host the first ever drift competition at this venue in 2008. The spectators will witness drivers battling for top honours on the fast hills of Lydden and the drivers will require every ounce of power and skill to master this demanding course.
Round 4 - 29/30/31st August - Norfolk Arena King Lynn (3 day drift extravaganza)
The smallest, but the most technical track on the BDC calendar will see drivers given more practice than has ever been known at a UK drift event. Battling inside the purpose built oval will generate an electric atmosphere with enthusiastic crowds just metres from the action. This event will offer three days of drift action. Friday will see the track open to all competing drivers as a full day of practice, Saturday evening will see the BDC Teams battling it out in front of the always excitable audience. The Pro class will be given Sunday all to themselves to prove they are the King of the Arena.
Round 5 - 19th 20th Sept - Llandow, South Wales
The BDC make a return to Llandow for the 2009 Season finale as part of a double header drift weekend.
Saturday hosts round 5 and the finale of the BDC series.
Sunday hosts the running of the British Open, and as per 2008 this will be an open invitation to any drifter holding the minimum of a BDC semi pro licence. A top 32 final will see twin drifting for 4 hours during the finals.
The BDC wishes all its drivers all the best for the coming season and we look forward to seeing you at round 1.
Any driver who wishes to compete in the BDC from any other series please contact us via bdc@live.co.uk (bdc@live.co.uk)
