The championship brings together only the best racers to compete for the overall grand prize of $50,000.
So join the race and you might earn yourself some serious cash... or are you too scared to lose?
Circuit RacingA Circuit race is a race where the finish line is at the same place as the starting line.
Most circuit races require you to complete a series of laps around the track before completing the race.
EAF - Full Throttle Street Runnerz has a series of circuit tracks where the races will be held.
Some of the races might already have a selected car to be driven. Others will be 'bring your own car' to race.

Drift RacingDrifting started out in the mountains of Japan where street racers would race from the top of a mountain to the bottom. The cars would run one behind another as the mountain roads were so narrow. If the “chase†car managed to overtake the “lead†car then he/she was deemed the winner. If the “lead†car got down the mountain 5 seconds before the chase car then he/she was deemed the winner. The racers found that sliding their cars, using the hand and foot brake and purposefully over steering, through the corners was the quickest and easiest way of getting through the corners and cutting inside of their opponents to overtake. This became known as drifting.
Soon drifting branched away from street racing as organised events began to emerge and popularity of the driving style (and road fatalities) grew in Japan. The same “chase†method was used even on large tracks and continues today in race series such as Formula D.
Racers can also be judged on their drifting style.
Each racer races a lap of the track in front of the judge who judges the drivers on there; entry speed, angle and how close they get to the clipping point (the apex of the corner or the outer wall).
The racer will be given a score out of ten depending on these.
After every racer has been judged, the racer with the highest score wins.
Track
Starfish IslandThe racer will be instructed to drift around the roads of Starfish Island in a 'eight' shaped like track.
