The start of the 2014 season for Jake ‘DriftSquid’ Jones has been quite an eventful few months with a mad last minute rush to get the car ready for the first outing of the year at the local state G1 Drift Series. “The motor was only received a few days before the event and with all my mates, supporters and sponsors I managed to make it in time for G1.” Jake said. The crazy last minute rush saw Jake in a difficult position and problematic first outing of the year. “This is not how I was hoping to start the year but we have learnt from this and are moving on to be well ahead of the pack next time.” Jake told Yokohama Australia.

In the last 2 weeks Jake and his team have been heavily sleep deprived and hard at work in order to have a reliable car ready for one of the biggest displays in Australia at the Top Gear Festival in Sydney. “My crew and I are crazy keen to make the trek over and show the people how we roll.” Jake said. With the freshly built motor, refurbished parts throughout the entire chassis and a brand new war paint Jake is just about ready to rumble come March 8-9. A little bit more attention to the fuel system and DriftSquid’s Onevia will be ready to roll onto the trailer to make the journey down to Sydney from Adelaide.

“Looking forward to putting on a strong drift demo with some of Australia's best to prove to the big guns we aren't just kids anymore. Seriously pumped and can’t sleep haha.” Jake said.

We can’t wait to see DriftSquid getting some sideways action. What do you think of Jake’s new livery?
