Some drifters go flat out from the first corner. Others, like Carl Perrin, rely on calm under pressure and razor-sharp precision. No big talk, no ego, just clean lines, composed entries and plenty of smoke when it matters.

If you’ve ever watched an AE86 get thrown into a corner with maximum commitment and thought, “that’s the one,” then Huw Gwion Savill is your kind of driver. With a rally background and a soft spot for sideways speed, he’s bringing old-school vibes and full-send energy to Classic Japfest, as the Drift Kings demo hits the legendary tarmac of Goodwood for a celebration of all things JDM and sideways.

Dean Longdon is the sort of drifter who gives you a mix of chaos and clarity. He’s not afraid to throw down big entries that make the crowd collectively hold their breath, but behind the wheel is a methodical mind, always fine-tuning and levelling up. It’s this balance that makes him one to watch as Drift Kings returns to Ford Fair, with Silverstone Circuit ready to host a day of sideways mayhem in August.

Dave Bastin is the kind of driver who doesn’t let off the throttle, literally. With an AE86 under him and a no-lifting philosophy, he’s built a reputation for putting on a show that’s as aggressive as it is skilled. Now, at Classic Japfest at Goodwood, the Drift Kings demonstration is set to get one of its wildest runs yet, with Dave pushing his machine to the absolute limit.
