Ahmed Al Ameri, Toyota Emirates Drifting Team driver, secured second position
at the re-scheduled Round 1 of Drift UAE, in a stunning drifting performance
which took place at Emirates Motorplex Race Track, Um Al Quwain on 31st
January 2014..
Initially delayed due to unstable weather, Round
1 which was supposed to take place on November 22nd 2013 hosted 8 competing
teams in the Pro Category.
Following this latest round of action Al Ameri
currently holds the top position within the Drift UAE Championship with the
points that he has accumulated from his performances in Round 1 & 2.
Commenting on the race Al Ameri said: “The
competition was very tough between the drivers today which made the race a lot
more fun for the attending fans. Emirates Motorplex is a difficult place to
compete at due to its slippery flooring and tight spaces.”
Al Ameri added: "The top position that I currently hold in this
year’s Drift UAE Championship wouldn’t have been possible without the ongoing
support of Al-Futtaim Motors. I am very fortunate to represent Toyota, the
world’s best-selling automotive brand and the first and only automotive brand
to support a local drifting team in the UAE.”
He continued: “I also have to extend a special
thanks to my competitor in the final round, Fredrik Aasland from Norway. His
sheer class and display of sportsmanship, when he allowed me to use his five-minute
rule to re-fill my car with the necessary oil so I could compete against him in
the final round, should serve as an inspiration to all aspiring drivers and
competitors."
Toyota EDT is also
supported by Maxxis Tyres which provides Toyota EDT with Maxxis Z1 Drift
professional tyres, Extreme Performance and Emirates Motorsports Technologies
which offer the team full technical support and supervision.
Toyota EDT will be
participating in Drift UAE Round 3 taking place on Friday 21st of February
at the Dubai Autodrome.
