Close to 60 drifters met in Lang-Lebring, Styria, last weekend to compete in the third run of the Drift Challenge Austria powered by Dotz Tuning Wheels.
After two bad runs in the preceding competitions due to technical problems, Dotz teamrider Rupert Schachinger impressed again with a 2nd place in category R1. He is now ranked 3rd in this class, while in the overall standing in the touring cars category he ascended to 11th place.
