Drifting on BBC News this morning @ 08:00 - Drifting forum

Street Toyz · 10-05-2008, 07:44

Was very impressed 2 wake up this morning to see a report on BBC breakfast news @ just before 8 where their reporter, Mike Bushell, was learning to drift with Brett Castle.
It's really exciting & encouraging that the sport is starting to make an appearance (for the right reasons) on what is essentially a prime-time national news programme!

This is great news for drifting!

You can find it on the BBC News website!

Glad to finally see some positive Tv coverage.

One question who is the guy that came up the the top left corner near the end of it?

spin-king · 10-05-2008, 11:50

Good to see the sport getting on the air for the right reasons as most people i speak to about it say its not sport its "chavs showing off".

Lets hope the the showing of this on terestrial tv helps it grow some more.
