Dubai Festival City, venue partners of the UAE Drift program will be hosting exhibition match that will be run on evening of the weekend in December. With JDM Allstars experience in building street and urban events, the very best knowledge is being brought to the table to create a motorsport festival environment.

Already a lot of the UAE and Middle Eastern region follow JDM Allstars online so, it's great to be bringing these top drivers to the fans' doorstep. I'm sure this is going to be a huge event for Dubai, UAE and the Middle East".

The JDM Drift event will not only about the cars. On the first day, when all the smoke and smell of burning rubber settles, a concert will put the entertainment experience on overdrive. Expected are some of Hip-hops biggest names in the industry on stage with live performances from regional and international acts.

Already the news has been sweeping through the Middle East with the news of the arrival of professional drifting. There will be ticked entry to the public with special VIP tickets to get up close to the action, opening this motorsport show up to over 15,000 fans in the UAE.

The custom made track will very much follow the traditional JDM Allstars European urban design being the biggest of this size to be built in the middle east.
