LATVIA DRIFT SEASON OPENING 2016, WITCH KETTLE 7-8 MAY, BIKERNIEKI

Baltic PRO drifters to open season on the thrilling moto track of Biķernieki

Latvian drift season is set to begin with an international level event – Biķernieki will host a round of the Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian PRO drift championships on May 7th . The following day will consist of the first event of the Latvian drift cup in Street and ProAm classes, which typically have a lot of participants.

This season opening event is going to be special ,drift competition will be held in the famed “Raganas katls” part of the moto track. Previous year spectators spoony to this track.This part contains multiple significant elevation changes, blind corners and small safety zones, making for an exciting experience for both the drivers and spectators. Knowing the level of Latvian PRO drifters, this race is sure to be remembered for excellent driving despite the difficult configuration.

While typically it has been possible to watch the race from the main stands of Biķernieki, this time it will be necessary, as previous year, to watch from the woods next to the track. The organizers, however, say that it will be possible to see nearly all the track from the spectator points. It is also important to note that the Latvian drift cup event on 8th of May will take the same place,offering a track configuration suitable for the Street and ProAm classes, but something different at all for Latvian drift cup.

It is also important to note that both 7th and 8th of May will have an open service park, meaning that fans will be able to get a closer look at the drift cars and meet their favourite drivers without buying a separate ticket. The service park on 7-8th of May will also have a special free children playground thanks to Skrīveru saldumi, and there will also be an inflatable attraction for children courtesy of 1188 uzziņu dienests.

Since the Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian PRO drift season opening on 7th of May will be a separate event from the Latvian drift cup event on 8th of May, there will be two sets of tickets as well. Tickets for the Baltic PRO class season opening on May 7th cost 10 EUR, but tickets for the Latvian drift cup on 8th of May will cost 8 EUR. Child tickets will cost 3 EUR per ticket, regardless of the event.
