Tokan secured 2nd place at Tierp Drifting Challenge, Swedish Powerdrift Series #4.
During qualifications Tokan smashed the rear of the car into a concrete wall making some serious damage to the car. But instead of giving up Tokan and the mechanics was successful in “temporarly restoring” the car into shape in only 15 minutes (!?) – and Tokan was able to continue the competition.

Tokan made it all the way into 2nd place, meaning that Tokan secured the leader position in both RM (National Championship) and Swedish Powerdrift Series!
One competition left in RM, and 2 in SPDS.
What an amazing weekend, approx 2000 visitors at the track, great staff, weather and drifting!

Teamdriver Tokan ended at 3rd place during Swedish Powerdrift Series SPDS #3 @ Gröndal Drift Arena, wich means that tokan still is the overall leader in the 2012-series.

During the qualification both front wheel bearings gave up – but the team mechanics had a “custom sollution” that made it possible for Tokan to take part in the competition. Even if the car was not acting as usual because of the broken bearings, tokan still managed to drive it well and secure 3rd place in this competition.

Tokan Winner – SPDS Gatebil Mantorp Park

Tokan took first place at Swedish Powerdrift Series #2 held at Gatebil Mantorp Park. With this victory tokan secures his leading position in SPDS, with 2 wins after 2 competitions.
This competition was also the first of three that is included in SBF´s RM (National Championship) – meaning that Tokan now is leading the RM-series 2012 aswell.

Teamdriver Olle Hallstrom and Joel Yveborg also attended this weekend but had to abort the competition due do various engine failures.

The team´s Time Attack driver Carl Winberg had some fantastic laps with good lap times in his Honda Civic but had to arbort due to a broken CV-joint. Looks very promising for the future!

So overall it was a great weekend for the team and we had a really good time with our team, sponsors, competitors and visitors!
