THINGS are just champion once more for a Wrexham-based driver.

Lwi Edwards has kept his Motorsport UK Drift Pro Championship title for another year.

Held at Snetterton, Edwards finished the championship with 220 points.

“We’ve been through a lot this season, a lot of ups and downs, but with everyone pushing me and the team supporting me I got there in the end.”

Lwi headed to the FIA Motorsport Games, which took place in Valencia.

He was competing in his 1997 BMW E3v6 Coupe, with an LSX376 V8, Magnuson Supercharger at the bespoke drift track at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, with drivers competing by aiming to accurately follow a predetermined course while maintaining a constant rear-wheel spin.

This year, the Games witnessed 82 participating nations and over 700 competitors taking part in the third edition of the biennial event.

Team UK comprised of 24 competitors – the largest representation of UK motorsport talent to date.

Ahead of the event, Edwards said: “I’m feeling pretty confident, the car has had a few upgrades and been checked over many times, we will see how it goes here in Valencia.”

Host nation Spain topped the medal table with six golds, six silver and six bronze. In fourth spot were the UK, with two golds, three silver and two bronze.

Stephane Ratel, SRO Motorsports Group founder and CEO, said: “We’ve had 26 nations winning medals from six continents. I have no doubt that the next edition of the FIA Motorsport Games... will be an even bigger success.”
