THE Singapore Airshow grounds will come alive this Sunday with daredevil drift racers as the inaugural professional drift competition revs into town.

The very first championship to take place outside of North America will feature 35 local and regional drivers.

They will be up against three professional drifters, Casper Canul, Ryuji Niki and Conrad Grunewald, all from Formula Drift USA.

Drfiting is a high-skilled, high-powered motorsport where drivers manoeuvre their cars into controlled sideway slides at break-neck speeds through a marked course.

Championship drifting is only for rear-wheel drive cars. Drifters are judged by their execution and style.

Organisers say 75 per cent of the tickets for the one-day event have been sold.

Tickets are priced at $10 for general walkabout and $30 for grandstand seats.
