Red Bull is all about firsts, and drifting wasn't left out of that equation. The Red Bull Car Park Drift in Abu Dhabi was the first organized drifting event in the Middle East. For the second consecutive year,  Ahmed Al Ameri took the crown, making him a rep for the final contest in Beirut. 

“I am absolutely thrilled by this win and hope to exceed today’s performance and secure a podium in the finale in Beirut. All preparations will start very shortly to make the best of this chance and compete on the regional title."

This was the third year for the event in Abu Dhabi and the fifth overall after beginning in Lebanon. Although most of the cars on the track were obvious tuners, maybe these guys should be checking our list of best cars for hoonage if they want to step up their game.
