Universal Pictures has secured sponsorship rights for the opening round of the 2006 Toyo Drift Australia Series.
The event which will be held at Mallala Motorsport Park in South Australia on May 27 & 28 will be sponsored by Universal's soon to be released movie 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift'.
“It is very exciting." said Drift Australia's Wayne Boatwright. “A lot of the stunt work in the movie was done by US Formula Drift stars like Rhys Millen who recently visited Mallala himself to run a drift training school. Universal expects the movie to be a huge success and there is no doubt that it will have a major impact on the profile of the whole drift scene." he added.
