King of drift Jordanian Mohammed Kukhun
An exciting season of Red Bull Car Park Drift came to an end last week with the crowning of Jordanian Mohammed Kukhun as King of Drift for the Middle East, in a mind-blowing finale held in the Dead Sea, with thousands of fans gathered to watch the heated competition.
Sponsored by Chevrolet, Red Bull Car Park Drift gave a new meaning to this sport through the concept of safe driving as well as the special tinge added this year. The championship was held under the auspices of Amir Al-Bashir, deputy of Prince Faisal bin Al-Hussein of Jordan Motorsport and included amazing shows that spiced up the thrill following a spectacular opening ceremony.
The event witnessed a fierce competition and extremely high driving skills. Kukhun offered breathtaking shows, thus earning the title at the final round with the highest score assigned by the jury panel. Egyptian Rami Serri came in second position followed by Lebanese Jad Himo in third position.
The jury consisted of Red Bull athlete Abdulaziz Turki Al-Faisal, New Zealand\'s renowned pilot Mad Mike, founder of \"U\" magazine Shirene Rifai, and Ihab Bate from \"Jordan Motorsport.\" The judging process was based on the art of drift as a major criterion; turning techniques with hand brakes and special skills; in addition to engine roaring and tire smoke, audience acclaim, and car appearance.
\"The excitement and suspense hit unprecedented levels in the history of the competition,\" said Alberto Chahoud, regional communication manager for Red Bull. \"We are thrilled to have offered motorsport fans a competition that gave drifting a totally new meaning.\"
The crowned King of Drift expressed his great happiness and pride to honor his country at the regional finals.
