Drift sport: unique spectacle in Seelisberg 🎥
RACE PREMIERE On July 21 and 22, the Eventcenter Seelisberg offers a spectacle not seen for a long time. For the first time since 2017, Yves Meyer and his team are hosting a drift racing event.
The Drift Series from Germany (Drift.com) will come to Central Switzerland in July and hold its third championship round in 2023 high above Lake Lucerne on Uri soil. The races will be held in the Street (production vehicles), Open (modified vehicles without road approval) and Club (racing vehicles) classes. The first two categories will only complete qualifying runs. In the Club category, battles will also be held according to the usual mode in drift racing, so that a winner of the day can be declared at the end of all the elimination heats and the direct duels.
Swiss premiere of the Toyota GR Supra
Well-known drivers from Switzerland and Europe are expected at the start of the only Swiss race. The two professionals Yves Meyer and Joshua Reynolds (gallery on the left) from Toyota Gazoo Racing Switzerland, who run the Driving Center, will also be competing with their drift cars. Some participants will use this starting opportunity as a good training and test under competition conditions. This is also the case for Yves Meyer, who will present the Toyota GR Supra with over 1000 hp (center gallery), developed and built in Seelisberg, in action for the first time to the Swiss public.
Yves Meyer: "I am delighted that we have succeeded in bringing the drift.de racing series to us. The last time we presented such events was in 2014 to 2017, when they were part of the Swiss drift series. Now we promise the audience a much higher quality show and a great supporting program."
Audience welcome
1500 spectators are allowed to attend the unique event. On Friday, July 21, the free practice sessions will be held from 4 to 10 p.m., and Saturday, July 22, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. will be reserved for the qualifying and race runs (gallery on the right). The final event will be the award ceremony followed by a big party. Food and drink will be provided at various stands.
