2 Trophies for ZEETEX – Thailand Drift Series 2014

The 2nd round of the Thailand Drift Series was exciting as expected when the chequered flag was raised on the afternoon of Saturday, 29th November

in the grounds of the Indoor Stadium in East Pattaya.  Leading independent drift drivers and drift teams attended from all over South East Asia and Australia with almost 100 cars to awe their fans during the 2 day event with some sensational drift racing techniques.  Winners received cash prizes and trophies for presenting the best showmanship, and demonstrating taking corners at high speed.

 

Result of Zeetex Family Drift Team Thailand:  It was one of the best weekends for Zeetex drift team again this year, as we collected 2 trophies from our drift team leader, Mr. Chaiyos, (Nueng), who won the 3rd runner-up from Class-A battle.  He lost in semi-final match (due to some mechanical problem) to the eventual winner.

 

For Class-B battle, our 4 of our Zeetex Family Drift Team’s members have passed the qualifying rounds and enter the last 32 battles.  Eventually Mr. Art have won the 2nd runner-up.

 

Apart from these 2 trophies, there are 2 more trophies that were won by Mr. Chaiyos (Nueng) – our key drifter:

–              1st Prize (winner) :  M-Strom Drift Competition (Round #1).  The trophy was granted by one of the royal Thai family members

–              2nd Runner Up:  M-Strom Drift Competition (Round #4)

 

So for the “M-Strom Drift Competition 2014” event, Mr. Chaiyos stands a very good chance to be crowned “Thailand Drift God 2014” as his overall points is now ranked 2nd place.  The final round will be held in Jan or Feb 2015.
