KUWAIT: Drift enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies have a date with the most exhilarating event of the year, the Red Bull Drift Car Park Drift Kuwait, where drifters will have to prove their mettle through two stages to qualify for this high-octane competition. On October 27 at 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:00 PM), and across two rounds taking place at Kuwait Motor Town, competitors must navigate a challenging course while simultaneously avoiding obstacles.

Each participant will be judged according to a set of nine criteria, with a total of 400 points up for grabs. A maximum of 120 points will be allocated towards showcasing drifting skills, while the flipper and pendulum challenges will account for up to 60 and 50 points, respectively. In addition, the car’s aesthetics and design will make up 40 points, while factors such as tire smoke, car sound, the gate, and spiral tasks will each contribute a maximum of 20 points toward the final score.

The ultimate challenge, the tight ‘Box,’ where drifters must execute a perfect ‘doughnut,’ will be worth a hefty 50 points. However, drifters must also exercise caution as they will lose points if they hit obstacles, drift in the wrong direction, or spin their car. Should they accumulate three penalties in one round, they will be automatically disqualified.

This year marks a significant milestone as Red Bull Car Park Drift Kuwait returns after a three-year hiatus, promising an adrenaline-packed show that’s not to be missed. The event is in partnership with Red Bull MOBILE by Zain, AbdulmohsenAbdulaziz Al Babtain Co (AABC), the exclusive authorized dealer of Nissan in Kuwait, Acqua Eva, and Kuwait Motor Town, Dunlop, and Al Babtain Auto and will be attended by renowned figures in the world of drifting, including Red Bull Athletes, Abdo Feghali,Brian Capper, and Sean Garnier.
