Arguably one of the biggest and most exciting motor sport events to ever visit the UK, the Red Bull Drift Shifters are officially coming to Liverpool this month. Red Bull will be bringing the world’s best drifters to the city on Sunday 19th August to showcase their incredible skills as they rip through the streets and whizz past the cheering crowds, along Liverpool’s iconic waterfront.
Each of the twelve talented drivers will be testing their nerve and precision as they navigate and manoeuvre a custom track through the streets of Liverpool, rigged with advanced proximity and speed sensors. Thousands are expected to flock to the Waterfront to witness this once in a lifetime event and catch a glimpse of the famous Red Bull Drift Shifters.
If you’re planning on visiting the city for this showstopping event, book a stay with us at The Shankly Hotel and enjoy utter luxury, just a stone’s throw away from all the action.
Every car you see at this spectacular event harnesses up to 1000 horsepower and is driven by the world’s very best drivers from across the globe. As they circumnavigate this tricky course, cars will score points for the speed, angle and proximity to obstacles that will be dotted about the track. And of course, the closer, the better.
Originally dreamt up by New Zealand professional drifter ‘Mad’ Mike Whiddett, this amazing event was first debuted in his home own of Auckland back in 2012. For the first time, this captivating event is travelling to Liverpool and it promises to be one of the most jaw dropping showcases the city has ever seen.
In a recent interview, Mike Whiddett expressed his excitement at the event coming to Merseyside: “It’s an amazing venue; it’s near twice the size of the last two Red Bull Drift Shifters events and it’s got this big D-shape roundabout, so we’re really excited to be able to get out and showcase the precision driving of drifting in the UK in such a massive environment. The venue also appears in a Fast and Furious movie, so yeah, it’s really cool – I can’t wait to execute it.”
If you’d like to experience this adrenaline-fuelled event that will test nerves to the max and wow with precision driving like never seen before in the UK, get your tickets!
