High-intensity, fast-paced full-on drifting action was once again the order of the day (weekend to be exact) at the Clark International Speedway as the 2010 Lateral Drift Pro-Am Championship held its 5th Round at the circuit inside the Clark Special Economic Zone in Pampanga.

Over thirty drivers came to tackle the challenging course selected by race officials to test the skills of the country’s top drifters.

The Lateral Drift Championship series was revised for 2010 to merge both the Pro division and Amateur division into one series ran for 6 events with both classes running on the same weekend. Four legs were to be held in the Eastwood City open grounds while two would be in the Clark International Speedway.

The third round moved to Clark for fast paced high intensity sideways action after having run two rounds in Eastwood. The long track however proved to be more than what some expected it to be, as some cars broke down and relegated some competitors to watch from the sidelines instead of going sideways.
