Ahmad Daham, who has his name entered in Guinness Book of World Records for an astonishing performance of 28.5 kilometres of non-stop drifting, said that Pakistan – like any other country – has a lot of talent in drifting, the only thing drifter in the country need is proper guidance.
“I am here to promote car park drifting. A lot of people here love drifting, but they don’t know how exactly to drift.” Daham told media in Karachi.
The 29-year-old drifter said that he’ll organise a workshop in Lahore next week to teach local drifters some basic skills of drifting, hoping that his guidance will help Pakistani drifters to put an impact on the global drifting scene.
“I will conduct a workshop here to teach drifting skills, teach whatever I have learnt to take drifting out of the roads to a safe environment on safer tracks,” he said.
“There must be very talented drifters in Pakistan, but there is no one to guide them in the right way. I will tell them how to set up their cars for drifting, in able to participate in the drifting scene,” he added.
Ahmed who has won several drifting competition across the Middle East, insisted that drifting shouldn’t be done on open roads and there is a need to have proper tracks in order to promote drifting as sports in Pakistan.
“Anyone can participate in car park drift, it doesn’t need any high power vehicle, it is all about skills,” he said while explaining the difference between normal drifting and carpark drifting.
Ahmed Daham added that drifting is growing sports and has already become the second biggest game in motorsports after formula one.
