Two EDC teams have secured a place at the Red Bull World Drifting Championship which takes place in Long Beach, California, USA on November 15th 2008.

The teams and drivers which will be representing EDC are 2008 champion Ben Broke Smith and 2008 runner-up Tim Marshall. Ben will be piloting his Driftworks backed Toyota Chaser with Tim Marshall in the Apex Performance V8 Nissan Skyline.

HKS USA will be providing ground support for the British EDC teams to help them prepare for the event.

Andy Barnes says: “For some time we have been considering and investigating the possibility of attending the event on an official basis and we are pleased that we have been able to secure the necessary support and logistics to make this happen for both teams.

“Our participation in the event was not planned however we have been able to adapt our plans to facilitate the event in order that our guys are showcased in what is clearly an exciting opportunity on a global scale and an important message for Drifting as a whole.”

Go on lads – kick some ass!
