KARACHI: The “King of Drift”, Jordanian drifter Ahmad Daham has arrived in Pakistan with the aim to teach drifting skills to Pakistani drifters during his short visit here.

Ahmad Daham, who has his name entered in Guinness Book of World Records for an astonishing performance of 28.5 kilometres of non-stop drifting, said that Pakistan – like any other country – has a lot of talent in drifting, the only thing drifter in the country need is proper guidance.

“I am here to promote car park drifting. A lot of people here love drifting, but they don’t know how exactly to drift.” Daham told media in Karachi.

The 29-year-old drifter said that he’ll organise a workshop in Lahore next week to teach local drifters some basic skills of drifting, hoping that his guidance will help Pakistani drifters to put an impact on the global drifting scene.

“I will conduct a workshop here to teach drifting skills, teach whatever I have learnt to take drifting out of the roads to a safe environment on safer tracks,” he said.

“There must be very talented drifters in Pakistan, but there is no one to guide them in the right way. I will tell them how to set up their cars for drifting, in able to participate in the drifting scene,” he added.

Ahmed who has won several drifting competition across the Middle East, insisted that drifting shouldn’t be done on open roads and there is a need to have proper tracks in order to promote drifting as sports in Pakistan.

“If it is done on open roads, then it is very risky,” he said.

During his workshop in Lahore, Ahmad will tell local drifters about car park drift. And according to him, anyone can participate and win in carpark drifting.

“Anyone can participate in car park drift, it doesn’t need any high power vehicle, it is all about skills,” he said while explaining the difference between normal drifting and carpark drifting.

Ahmed Daham added that drifting is growing sports and has already become the second biggest game in motorsports after formula one.

“A lot of people are moving from rallies and time & track racing to drifting, people love to watch drifting more than rally or racing sports,” he added.

Sorry I have no taste for this activity ( I can't call it a sport)
 
I do not encourage young people to do this!

Especially outside of the track on the public road.
 
I used to be a big fun of this stuff especially when Tokyo drift was released but after seeing some horrific accidents due to this i lost my appetite
 
drifting with CNG kits and general tyres......probably not a good idea
 
I see this as totally and utterly pointless. Regular people wont do this stuff and only the spoilt brats blowing their daddy's money will. Years ago I might have seen the novelty in this but I guess I have grown since then.
Totally and utterly pointless.
 
Pindi boyzz can learn these dirifts on there 70 that too in short span of time :rofl::agree:
 
Not a fan of drifting in car parks etc but racing (and the occasional drifting) on a bendy (not the crappy US oval) race track with self prepared race car is heck of a lot of fun! Motorbike on race track is even more fun!
 
He is got some skills but I guess my driving skills aren't bad either. In fact I have had longer run of drift in my mobile version of Asphalt 8
 
While it is enjoyable for a bit, it tends to shred tires which is wasteful and creates pointless rubber smoke.
I do like to drift, but preferably one or two donuts or a little bit down a winding road is more than enough.
 
Well, will he teach me to drift on my Alto VXR? then he is warmly welcomed. :P
