Unexpected finish to this round- race got cancelled after Top 8 🫣

It got dark super quickly and with no lights around the track initiating at around 160 km/h was pretty much kamikaze stuff, especially when some cars didn’t even have taillights 😄

So everyone stopped at Top 8, got the same amount of points and the final results were decided by qualifying.

Still good points in the bag. Now time to prepare for the Grand Finale, where there’s still a lot to be decided 🙌 taken in Nemuno Žiedas by @daniels_drift

P1 baby!!!!! 🏆🥹

After so many unlucky moments earlier this season, from technical problems to mistakes on my side, we finally got the result we’ve been waiting for - P1 at Porsche Ring in Pärnu🔥

Definitely one of my favorite tracks I’ve driven so far. Around 150 km/h mid track, which makes it the fastest track I’ve ever competed on.

VERY hungry for another one. Fully locked in for Witch Kettle 🧙

Huge thanks to everyone behind this — my family, @tomsbulins for dialing in the setup perfectly, @hgkracingteam for all the support they’re giving me, @driftdarbnica for maintaining the car, and all of you guys who support me🫶🏻 by @daniels_drift

Five years ago, I took my first photo with @jamesdeane130 . Back then I was completely new to drifting and didn’t even know what a clipping point was. I just knew that my wildest dream was to one day drive with James which felt completely impossible.

I started in Street class and slowly learned what drifting was really about. There were plenty of bad weekends, lost tandems, and technical problems along the way. But every season I learned something new, got a little bit better and just kept pushing.

Fast forward five years, and we earned a wildcard for Drift Masters. After a clutch failure on the first qualifying run, everything came down to one last chance. Thankfully, we managed to qualify and that alone already meant the world to me.

Then came top 32 practice. Sitting on the start line, waiting for my lead run, James pulled up next to me and I instantly remembered that first photo we took together. In that moment, everything that had happened over the last five years flashed through my mind. It honestly didn’t feel real.

Every dream is achievable if you’re willing to learn from your mistakes, correct them, and keep pushing. by @daniels_drift
