Olly Silcock: Drifting Pro invited to join MSUK judging panel

Olly Silcock is one of the UK’s top professional drift drivers, and he and his support crew, JDM Motorsport, choose to only use Motul products in their amazing 675bhp machine.

We’ve been following Olly’s progress closely in recent years, and with the welcome news that this year was to see the launch of the Motorsport UK Drift Pro  Championship for 2021, we were as delighted as Olly to see top-tier Drifting being re-established in Britain.

Unfortunately, Olly suffered a nasty break to his leg earlier in the year – but has continued to keep us updated on his progress and recovery. As a keen  ambassador of the sport, he has been invited to be involved with the Judging and Driver Selection for next year’s MSUK DriftPro Championship, for which they’re intending to hold a full eight rounds of racing, alongside TimeAttack. Olly’s impressive car was on display at the final round of the 2021 Championship in October at Snetterton, where he also stayed hands-on by vlogging the event from behind the scenes.

In the meantime, progress continues on build for next year’s competition car, beginning with the chassis strip – and as he puts it, ‘the more interesting stuff’ such as Roll Cage installation and fabrication coming up next.

We wish Olly the best of luck with his recovery, and look forward to seeing him back out in action very soon!
