Lwi Edwards, officially the 360 King of Sweden!
The reputation of Lwi Edwards and his unique skills of car control in drifting opened up a golden opportunity to compete in the world recognised Gatebil Summer Festival in Mantorp Park, Sweden.
Representing Wales with a small team of UK Pro Drift drivers, Axel Hilderbrand, Gwion Saville and Hayden Cruikshank, we jumped at the chance to make an impression again on the International stage.
A 4 day festival at Mantorp Park with some of the best Scandinavian and International drivers to compete against along with a huge party atmosphere generated great publicity for our main sponsors Bilstein and Allitalia
The main competition at the events for invited drivers was the Breisladden or Powerslide where any driver can enter.
150 drivers including Lwi entered the competition which consisted of one run, one chance to make it to top 20 for the main evening competition
Lwi pulled off the manoeuvre than no other driver had ever achieved in the history of the event, a 360 entry drift into the complex! This put him in 8th place overall out of the field of drivers.
Main competition for the Top 20 on Saturday evening in front of huge crowds and Lwi stepped up to 2 x 360 drift entries on the first run .. but it was not enough to win
Needless to say, Lwi gained the title of the crowd favourite and crowned the 360 king of Gatebil!
