Part 2：On Track

Like many drivers, Dylan also pays close attention to weather and conditions, as they directly impact both performance and driving style.

What are your favorite weather conditions for drifting?

“Sunny and dry. It’s faster, more aggressive, more smoke—it just looks better.”

While dry conditions bring out the most aggressive side of his driving, Dylan’s experience allows him to stay consistent across a wide range of environments.

“I like all conditions—rain, snow… everything has its own feeling.”

For Dylan, each condition adds something different. Another reference point, another layer of experience built over time.

What’s the best advice you’ve received?

“Always choose your parts carefully to avoid failures on race day.”

Having worked with MaXpeedingRods for four years, Dylan’s approach reflects that mindset. Running components like T7 coilovers, connecting rods, and turbos from his current setup, he continues to prioritize consistency and reliability on track.

Have you ever had a major crash?

“I hit a barrier at around 130–140 km/h, and the car was destroyed.”

Situations like this highlight not only the risks involved, but also the resilience required to continue competing.

“We rebuilt the car in two weeks to be ready for the next race.”

From rebuilds to race weekends, it’s been a constant cycle: fix, reset, and get back out there.

That kind of rhythm doesn’t always leave time to rest, but it builds something else.

In 2024, with his passion, Dylan made a 3rd place finish in the Nürburgring Drift Cup Pro2 and 7th overall in Drift Kings of Europe, followed by a move into the Pro class of the Nürburgring Drift Kings International Series in 2025.

The journey continues, and so does the drive to stay in it. As he looks ahead to 2026, Dylan’s focus stays the same: keep improving, enjoying the process along the way.
