The Gauntlet has been thrown down once again by the SBR 800K Challenge II, The Second Installment of the Competition concieved to celebrate SBR's involvement in TORA and now a (hopefully) Regular Event for the Drifting Community of TORA. Just like last time 800,000 points is the Goal in just one lap. Here’s a little look at the brave men and their machines that will go into battle on Saturday 20th March 2010 against the Fearsome Mount Kaido in Japan.

Slider S15



Driver: Slider S15

Seed: #1

Info: Defending Champion and Number 1 seed Slider is a definite Favourite after his dominating Victory last time out. An SBR member from the Outset Slider has proven himself invaluable within the Team, Spreading its name throughout The Drifting community and Bringing SBR into TORA in 2009.

Highlights: SBR 800K 1st Anniversary Challenge Champion, 5th Overall TCC ’09, 3rd Overall Time Attack Club Class, 5th Overall SEAT Super cup

Car: SBR Falken Sears Saturn Sky Red Line V8 ‘07

Info: Another of Slider’s Many Drift cars, this Saturn Sky is powered by a 7.2 litre V8 from a Corvette Z06, This latest car uses Slider’s Vast knowledge of drift car building and Tuning to create a truly fearsome Machine, and if its good enough to temp Slider out of his Championship Winning Mustang GT500 then expect Fireworks!



Sam Billing1991



Driver: Sam Billing1991

Seed: #2

Info: SBR Founder and Racer, Sam’s vision has seen a successful tuning garage and race team spawn from nothing, an Extrovert person both behind the wheel and behind the mic, Sam definitely earned his position as the Number 2 Seed after being one of only two people to have broken the 100,000 drift points barrier in the Last event.

Highlights: SBR’s First Ever Overall TORA win, SBR’s first ever lobby win, SBR’s first ever back to back lobby wins, Creator of TORA Time Attack Series, Scored a 2nd place in the POS SBR Civic Type-R TCC Season 2.

Car: SBR High-Octane Imports.com Top Secret S15 D1 ‘00

Info: A new Machine for the SBR Boss this time around, built from a spare shell originally prepared by Top Secret Japan and then imported by High-Octane Imports for SBR, the car was completed by SBR and built to Sam’s own high level Specification. Painted by Slider S15 and Tuned by Sam himself, this bright beast will be a definite contender for the top spot.



Dan 2605



Driver: Dan 2605

Seed: N/A

Info: The Current Race of Champions Champion Dan is a force to be reckoned with behind the wheel of almost any car. A well respected racer within TORA and multiple Champion in multiple Classes. However he’s unproven in Drifting, Could this be his Achilles Heel?

Highlights: ROC 2010 Champion, TORA GT3 Champion, TORA GT3 Team Champion, Pro Touring Car Champion, TORA Lemans Series Team Champion, 1st 2009 TORA Drivers Championship,

Car: Austin’s Motorsport Ford RS200 Evolution HRC ‘85

Info: The First non-purpose built car to compete in the SBR 800K Challenge, this HRC spec RS200 already has many wins to its name in the online Drift competitions. With high power and Austin’s tuning skills this is definitely one to watch out for!



XTI Avenger



Driver: XTI Avenger

Seed: #5

Info: The sole representative of XTI Racing, Avenger is a RWD expert whose skills and build knowledge make him a serious contender on the mountain. He’ll be one to watch as he aims to make up for a disappointing run last time out.

Highlights: 9th TLMS 2009, Member of TORA GT2 Championship winning team, competed in both GTC and TCC 2009.

Car: XTI Team SRT Drift Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 ‘06

Info: The First drift car ever built by Avenger the Crossfire was the first car in the competition to have attained the 100,000 Drift Points Goal. It’s the smallest car in the competition which should prove to be a great advantage in the mountains and with new factory backing it should be a serious threat.


Richy59



Driver: Richy59

Seed: #4

Info: Founding member of the highly successful M&M Racing, Richy59 is a veteran hand behind the wheel in TORA Events and could throw up some surprises as the only Returning 4WD competitor in this event.

Car: M&M Racing NISMO Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-Spec II ‘02

This car has been extensively reworked especially for this Event to an impressive level and was the highest placed 4WD in the last event.
