  • We're taking an exclusive walk around with Pro Latvian Drifter, Kristaps Blušs. This drift legend will give us a complete tour of his monstrous E92 Eurofighter - a high horsepower V8 beast.
    Kristaps Blušs, the Latvian Drift Champion, is renowned for his aggressive driving style and mechanical precision. His E92 Eurofighter is a testament to his dedication to the sport and the art of drifting.
    Get ready for a detailed overview of this high horsepower machine - from the engine bay to the cockpit, we'll cover it all. Kristaps himself will be sharing insights on his car's setup, the modifications, and what makes the E92 Eurofighter a true drift machine.
    And the grand finale? We're handing over the LZ Compound to Kristaps. Watch as he brings the Eurofighter to life, throwing it into corners with precision and showcasing his impressive skills. It's a sight you won't want to miss.
