Maxxis sponsored Team Japspeed at Top Gear Live
Under: Maxxis Sport on
11 November 2011
Maxxis-sponsored Team Japspeed - winner of the constructor's
title in the 2011 Maxxis British Drift Championship - is to
demonstrate the art of drifting at Top Gear Live, one of world most
exciting indoor performance car spectacles.
The team will perform drift displays at the Top Gear Live shows
at the NEC Arena in Birmingham on November 11-13 and London's ExCel
on November 24-27 and will be a major attraction among the range of
motorsport displays scheduled.
Piloted by Shane Lynch, Steve Biagioni, Paul Smith and Shane
O'Sullivan, the Team Japspeed cars will be unleashing a total of
over 2000bhp at each display and although the slippery indoor
surface is not ideal for drifting, the team is confident of
delivering an amazing treat for the fans.

Team Japspeed has performed over a dozen times across Europe and
mastered indoor arena conditions at AutoSport International, where
the drivers put on 12 exhilarating displays over four days in the
Live Action Arena.
Maxxis International UK's managing director Derek McMartin said:
"This is a really exciting opportunity for Team Japspeed to
showcase drifting - and the championship winning Maxxis MA-Z1 Drift
tyre - in front of tens of thousands of Top Gear Live visitors,
many of whom will be new to the sport."
Top Gear Live combines all the favourite elements of the hit TV
show, including banter among presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May
and Richard Hammond, Star in a Reasonably Priced Car and, of
course, The Stig.
