There\u2019s just something right about seeing a sorted S15 being sent around Goodwood; classic motorsport heritage clashing head-on with modern drift aggression. And in the middle of all that smoke and style is Michael Marshall, a driver with championship credentials and a Silvia that\u2019s all business.<\/p>\n

This October, he\u2019ll be shredding tyres and chasing podium angles at Classic Japfest<\/a>, where retro JDM icons meet full-tilt modern drifting on the legendary Goodwood Circuit. If you’re into sideways action, this is one date you do not want to miss.<\/p>\n

From Volvo Roots to Championship Heights<\/h2>\n

Michael\u2019s journey into drifting didn\u2019t follow the usual script. It was actually his partner who first nudged him toward the sport: an offhand suggestion that spiralled into a full-blown obsession. And while most might expect a Nissan or a BMW as their first drift car, Michael kicked things off in a Volvo 340. Unorthodox? Absolutely. But it ticked the right boxes; lightweight, rear-wheel drive, and just raw enough to learn the ropes properly.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to now, and Michael’s behind the wheel of a tidy Nissan Silvia S15 that\u2019s earned him silverware and serious street cred. Clean lines, bulletproof setup, and a balance that\u2019s spot on, it\u2019s built to win, and it delivers.<\/p>\n

Grounded Advice and Dream Drives<\/h2>\n

Ask Michael Marshall what advice he\u2019d give to a beginner, and there\u2019s no ego, no hype, just solid, honest wisdom: start at the bottom and work your way up. Learn the basics, respect the process, and earn every bit of progress.<\/p>\n

His dream destination? Japan\u2019s legendary Ebisu Circuit; an iconic drift battleground that\u2019s become a rite of passage for serious drivers. And if money were no object? He\u2019s got his eye on a wild Porsche 930 Turbo drift build. Classic curves, turbo grunt, and maximum attitude; sounds mad, but if anyone could make it work, it\u2019s Michael.<\/p>\n

Drifting Only on Saturday – Don\u2019t Miss It<\/h2>\n

This year\u2019s Classic Japfest runs all weekend, but if it\u2019s the smoke-filled, limiter-bashing action of Drift Kings you\u2019re after, Saturday 4 October is the day to lock in. Michael will be debuting a new setup, still fine-tuning it, but don\u2019t expect him to go easy. He\u2019ll be attacking Goodwood with his trademark precision, hunting down angles and putting on a show for the crowd.<\/p>\n

Want to see drifting at its finest, surrounded by retro metal and old-school Japanese icons? Then you need to be at Classic Japfest on the Saturday.<\/p>\n
