Mr. Singhania bagged the top spot at the All Stars Drift European series which saw over 30 participants competing in this intense final.

The other racers hailed from all across Europe making Mr. Singhania the only Asian and Indian to have participated.
Mr. Gautam Singhania, said, “Drifting as a motorsport has always attracted and intrigued me. I always wanted to learn this form of motorsport. It was great experience while competing at the All Star series. It feels like a great honour to be the champion in one of the most premier professional drifting competitions in Europe. The competition was intense but I managed to win. I will definitely pursue this sport further. The drifting car is testimony to that and I have been practicing in it to hone my drifting skills.”
At the event, Mr. Singhania unveiled a short film on his winning striker at the All Stars Drift European series. The video captures Mr. Singhania’s performance at the series, uncovering his passion for the sport. It also offered a glimpse into drifting as a motorsport and how he managed to win the title.
