Russian Drift Series 2020 (RDS GP) Sailun Lives Up to the Hype
Hitting the ground running
The Russian Drift Series (RDS) is the second battleground for Sailun's international sports campaign this year. This year’s new addition to represent Sailun Motorsport at the RDS was Fail Crew Darkside who have lived up to the hype with three podium wins at their most recent event, RDS GP 2020, on July 25th and 26th.
Paving the way to 1st in singles
No. 88 Arkadiy Tsaregradtsev and No. 81 Evgeny Losev both overcame the competition at the start of the series and easily moved into the top 16. Evgeny Losev was the star of the show for singles placing first while placing third in the drift chase. Both drifters are strong competitors, each placing in the top five every year.
Pushing the limits with the need for speed.
The RDS is the official Russian Drift Series Grand Prix attracting over 50 international drifters to compete. Differing from the D1GP which focuses on technical details, the RDS is all about "speed" with the format and style of the competition resembling that of the Formula D in the US. Traditional referee scoring keeps people guessing who will win and is what often sets it apart from other drift competitions.
From the second place in the drift chase competition of the D1GP to the champion in the solo runs of the RDS, Sailun Motorsport's 2020 season is off to a great start. Stay tuned for more information on RDS and D1GP races in 2020!
