You have won several championships, from events in the Baltics and RDS in Russia to Driftmasters. Which championship or event is the most thrilling for you, and why?
All events and championships have their own unique venue. Everything new is fun.
To this day, you have already collected a lot of trophies. Which one is left?
I would want to go to the USA for Formula Drift. That’s something me and my dad have been aiming for.
What do you believe is necessary to attain this?
To achieve this, we need to practice, work hard, and find the budget and support for this dream journey.
Your driving style is consistently flat-out all the time. What’s your secret to completing the run without spinning or crashing into the wall?
I’m not always flat out, but I’ve been driving with lower-power cars, and that’s what I’m used to, driving-wise.
You described your engine and overall setup as “reliable and cheap”, but now it’s broken. What will you be driving at Driftmasters in a couple of days?
I did break my engine at round one [Baltic Drift Championship], but our friends from Blueprint Engines had a solution that we had available as soon as possible, so for Drift Masters, we have a car with 620HP, and hopefully, we can fight with what we have.
What are your plans for the future? Are you considering new championships, a full DMEC campaign, or perhaps even building a new car from scratch?
The future is bright and full of opportunities, but I’m not sure what we will do.
