This is the 6th and final leg of the 2010 Lateral Drift Championship Series. The event took place at Eastwood Libis, from the 28th to the 29th of August. And boy was it totally packed with excitement! From the sounds of the roaring engines, to the hiss of the blow-off valves, to the squeal of tires smokin’ like there’s no tomorrow, this event was a natural high for total gearheads.
70kph entry speeds inside the confines of a parking lot is no joke! And to add to the adrenaline, the track went from dry, to wet, to completely drenched, giving the competitors the challenge of a lifetime!
Read on to see the awesome action shots, as well as the list of winners for the final leg…
Pictured above is Gio Rodriguez burning rubber while going sideways in the Nissan Skyfiro – A Nissan Cefiro with a Skyline front end and rear tail lights. Below are more action shots of Gio Rodriguez, taking the car through its paces for a 3rd place finish in the Pro Division.

Kevin Tayao takes the Hachi-Roku sideways.
Ric Manalo, the Guam Drift Champ, was all out over the weekend, with superb lines and consistent performance, that is… until one mistake happened… where he lost his drift out of a corner during a battle with Gio Rodriguez.
John Raphel Boban in the DriftMobs 4-door Nissan Skyline. A mistake through a stalled drift while going against Alex N Perez cost him his chances. The stall also resulted in a slight collission between the two. But no heavy damage.
Francisco Blanco probably has the biggest amount of horsepower in the field, churning 575 horses to the rear wheels, almost always producing the most tire smoke. But due to technical difficulties courtesy of a stuck throttle, he was given a DNF.
This man needs no introduction. Atoy Llave of A-Toy Body Kits behind the wheel doing what this Mercedez Benz 190E was tuned to do – go sideways!
RJ Obiedo in the Nissan S15 Silvia. Unfortunately, a spin-out cost him his chances of winning.
Audel Sison is always fun to watch piloting the Fern-C Mercedez, with his no-holds-barred driving style, he’s not afraid to take it as close to the wall and all the clipping points as possible. No carnage for this round though…
Jason “The Destroyer” Choachuy went all out, and gave the judges a hard time to determine the winner between his tandem run with Alex N Perez. But in the end, the round was given to Alex, who also went onwards to win the event.
Battle of the old school cars – teammates Boodie Dabasol in the Lancer and Joma Montaner in the Corona had to go head-to-head. And they actually collided during their first tandem run.
Who said Mitsubishi Lancer L-Types can’t drift? Boodie Dabasol performed flawlessly during the event in this 1976 Lancer. And he went on to take 2nd place, losing to Alex N Perez due to a spin-out in the water-drenched track.
And lastly, action shots of the Champion of the 6th round, Alex N Perez, in the Yellow Cab Nissan Silvia, showing what it takes to be a winner.
