Last Sato Ahmad Daham, World renowned drifter alikuwa pale jijini promoting and tutoring amateur drifters on how to become better at the craft and even get to the very top of that emerging motorsport genre.
This was after a week-long adventure in the 254 that mesmerised a lot of petroheads hehe, like @Introvert maybe?
The drift racer also put on a show for those in attendance in his state-of-the-art Lexus RC F racecar – nicknamed Katana (Japanese word meaning Sword of the Samurai).
Reflecting on the session, Daham noted that drifting can become a huge sport in the country with the right support and dedication.
“They were way better than I had expected especially when it comes to their driving skills. Maybe, most of the cars were not suitable for something like this but that is understandable considering it was the first time for many of them. There were three or four drivers who really shocked me in terms of their potential. They now only need a bit more experience,” Daham, whose first drifting assignment was in 2011, said.
Humbled by the wild cheers from the crowd, Daham described his visit to Kenya as the best time of his life in a long time.
“Thank you to everyone who came to see me today and to those who have brought me here. Everyone was so welcoming and everywhere I went, everyone fell in love with the car. Looking at the fanbase here today, I think it is going to be huge in Kenya. With Red Bull Kenya pushing on, I believe the Car Park Drifting will be a big thing in Kenya in the years to come. I can say we achieved what we wanted to do,” he said.
