Next weekend the drift is once again “taking care” of Pinhel with the holding of the fourth edition of the “Drift de Pinhel”, an event that is organized, once again, by the Clube Escape Livre and the City Council of Pinhel.
As in the previous edition, the Pinhel race not only scores again for the Portuguese Drift Championship, but also repeats the award of the International Drift Cup, a drift demonstration outside the championship and which brings Swiss pilots to the city of Beira , French and Spanish.
In total, 34 riders will participate in the Championship event and 20 will be part of the International Cup, event in which the presence of six foreign drivers stands out: the Swiss Michael Perrottet and John Tena, the French Sebastien Farbos and Laurent Cousin, and the Spaniards Hector Guerrero and Martin Nos.
The program
Free practice is scheduled to start at 10:30 am on Saturday. Qualifications start at 4:15 pm on the same day. On Sunday, the Portuguese Championship continues with training from 9:00 am, with battles starting at 11:00 am, with qualifications and finals reserved for after lunch.

For the end of Sunday afternoon, prizes are expected to be awarded to the winners of the categories and the International Drift Cup and to the driver with the greatest fair play throughout the race.
Thinking of all those who for some reason are unable to go to Pinhel, from 11:00 am on Sunday it will be possible to follow the races through the live broadcast online. The link for this issue will in the meantime be disclosed on the Clube Escape Livre Facebook page.
