Gautam Singhania, chairman and managing director, Raymond Limited has unveiled India’s first and only exclusive drift car. He designed this car after his victory at the AllStars European Drift Championship held at Malta in September, 2012.
Speaking about the occasion, Gautam Singhania, founding chairman of the Super Car Club (SCC), said, “Drifting as a motorsport has always attracted and intrigued me. I always wanted to learn this form of motorsport. It was a great experience while competing at the AllStars series. It feels like a great honour to be the champion in one of the most premier professional drifting competitions in Europe. The competition was intense but I managed to win. I will definitely pursue this sport further. The drift car is testimony to that and I have been practicing in it to hone my drifting skills.”
The series saw over 30 participants from all across Europe competing in the final round. Singhania, driving a modified Nissan Sylvia S13 at the competition, was able to score enough to win the title by 2.5 points. The championship win made Gautam Singhania the first Asian and Indian to participate and win the event.
