JPP Subaru takes 4th place at JDM Allstars Wembley 2010

What a weekend, Walton takes 4th place at JDM Allstars 2010 in the Jap Performance Parts Subaru. This is an amazing result for only the second time the car has been driven and against 32 of the best drift cars in Europe - from Poland, Holland, Ireland and the UK. A special thanks to Matthew and Harry from Car Travel for all there help.

After rebuilding the rear aches, lowering and softening the back suspension, the Suabru handled a lot better for the bumps at the Wembley track. Walton managed to secure 9th position in qualifying after a faultless day for car and driver.

4th July 2010 JDM Allstars

The Subaru drift car goes for its first test - during the practise sessions at the Nissan Plant in Sunderland. The car has been a great success with thanks to the great work put in by Garage D to complete the car and Walton who after just one lap of the circuit in a completely untested car was running at the pace of the top seed cars!! We managed around 20 runs with a range of tyres, apart from a loose boost hose, the car was absolutely falutless.

We were very very happy with the results and decided we might as well enter qualifying - Walton came in 8th place, a massive achievement for a new car, of which we are a really proud!!!
