The usual quietness of the whole area was about to be heavily disturbed as preparations were being made for the 4th Round of the Polish Drift Championship, currently seen as one of the highest rated drifting championship in the whole of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The event had been stirring up quite some interest in Europe in the preceding month, as the course layout was going something never witnessed before in the history of Official Drifting Competitions. It was no racetrack, but it was a street course. More exactly, the event was going to be unfolded on what every drift fan would recognize as being : the Touge. An almost 1km long track, set up at the base of the mountain, going up using two narrow lanes, winding all the way up to the finish line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Krzystof-Terrej-drifting.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[19182]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19190\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Krzystof Terrej-drifting, full wheel lock in Poland\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Krzystof-Terrej-drifting.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\"Krzystof Terrej, drifting, Poland\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Krzystof-Terrej-drifting.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Krzystof-Terrej-drifting-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Krzystof-Terrej-drifting-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In two days, more than 25,000 people attended to the event , and it is said, more than 30,000 people followed the Live Streaming.

With speeds getting up 140 kph in some areas and with some of the drivers going into corners almost backwards&#8230; with crazy wall-scraping action, death defying speeds and angles, it&#8217;s hard to describe what happened there using just words.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pawel-Trela-versus-Jakub-Przygonski-drifting.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[19182]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19192\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Pawel Trela versus Jakub Przygonski-drifting\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pawel-Trela-versus-Jakub-Przygonski-drifting.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\"Drifting, Pawel Trela, Jakub Przygonski, Poland\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pawel-Trela-versus-Jakub-Przygonski-drifting.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pawel-Trela-versus-Jakub-Przygonski-drifting-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pawel-Trela-versus-Jakub-Przygonski-drifting-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The winner of the event was Pawel Trela, driving the Asus Drift Team 2JZ-GTE powered Nissan S13.5 with more than 550 horsepower available.
