Catch the drift at Wembley as giants of Europe hit town

Ever heard of drifting? Well, it's claimed to be an exciting and adrenaline-raising cross between a full-on motorsport and an extreme sport and it's all about getting cars to slide sideways - drift - at high speed around a circuit, against the clock and each other.

The good news is that it comes to Wembley this weekend, starting today and continuing tomorrow.

It will showcase the "giants" of European drifting, eager to make the Wembley crown their own. In fact, the 2011 Drift Allstars European series comes to a smoke-covered climax this weekend, the last round of the season.

The custom-built course will be one of the fastest and longest yet, which means high-speed corners and lots of concrete, making it demanding on both drivers and cars. Fans will have a great view of the entire track, with grandstand seating also available.

The custom track takes just two days to build, using 350 metres of concrete barriers, safety fencing and grandstands.

Overnight, Wembley's main Green car park will be turned into Europe's only city-based drift event.
