Japanese Import specialists, WKD Imports, today confirmed exciting details about their 2009 drift team. A new two car team made up of Nigel Colfer (IRL) & Johnny Power (IRL) will compete at the top levels of both Irish and International drifting championships for the forthcoming drifting season.

Nigel Colfer returns to 2009 following a strong 2008 season which saw the Wexford drifter compete successfully in both Ireland and the UK. The ex Prodrift Semi Pro Champion enjoyed a successful rookie Pro Season collecting substantial championship points as well as podium finishes across both Irish and European events.

Joining Colfer as part of the WKD team and making an unexpected return to competition is Irish drifting legend Johnny Power. Following his 2nd place in the 2007 Irish Series, power retired from the sport much to the dismay of a huge Irish fan base. Power returns with many years of experience on the international drifting scene. Johnny P has successfully competed in Belgium, France, England & Ireland as part of Prodrift, D1GP, EDC, & GT Battle events.

Details have not yet been released regarding the vehicle line up for 2009 but WKD Imports have promised an improved presence across international paddocks with the addition of team transport units and mobile workshop facilities. Commenting on the news of the 2009 team, WKD Imports owner Wesley Keating said, “Drifting is an important part of the WKD operations and something we take very seriously. The combination of Nigel Colfer & Johnny P for 2009 is an excellent line-up and we are looking forward to getting back into competition, both in Ireland and overseas”.
