One lucky fan will win the purpose-built car, a track-ready Nissan Silvia S13 fitted with the latest gear in the lead up to the Nationals to be held at Sydney’s Oran Park Raceway on Sunday 20th September.
The sensational prize includes everything necessary to hit the track, including lessons with Drift Australia star Fernando Wiehrl.
“We wanted to do something special to celebrate the 2009 Drift Nationals,” Drift Australia director James Fava said.
“It’s going to be a massive event and the pinnacle of drifting in Australia in 2009, so we’re extremely excited to put a drift car up for grabs in conjunction with SABER.
“The lucky winner will take home a sensational, ready to drift Nissan Silvia S13 - who knows, we might even see them competing in the 2010 Drift Nationals!”
Powered by Nissan’s renowned SR20DET engine, the Silvia features the finest components from a number of leading drift suppliers, including a SABER intercooler and radiator.
Steering and suspension expertise from D-Project, an Xtreme Drift Clutch and Federal’s SS 595 tyres provide optimum performance across the board.
With a striking BBM red livery from Bathurst Spray FX and an Empire Aero bodykit, the Silvia is set to turn heads, on or off the track.
The winner will also receive sideways tuition from Project D Drift School, headed up by Fernando Wiehrl, who finished third in the 2007 Drift Australia Series.
Progress of the car’s build can be followed on SBS’ popular Speedweek program, Sundays at 1pm, in the lead-up to the 2009 Drift Nationals.
Drivers from around Australia will head to the Sydney circuit for a massive weekend of drifting, a one-off event for the 2009 season before the Drift Australia Series resumes next year.
Two levels of exciting drifting competition on-track and a host of off-track entertainment will make the event a must-see for motoring enthusiasts.
