WATCH: Oman's Rafaat Al Yahyai drifts his way to Red Bull Car Park Drift finals in Kuwait

Muscat: Omani driver Rafaat Al Yahyai drifted his way to the title as Oman's 2017 King of Drift at the Oman Automobile Association (OAA) track.

This year's Omani title-holder, Rafaat Al Yahyai, achieved 380 points in 28 runs to convince the four judges that he could be crowned the king of drift for this year's edition of Oman's Red Bull Car Park Drift.
Rafaat will now travel to the SIRBB Circuit on Friday, December 8, in Kuwait, to take part in the regional finals.
Last year's final in Oman witnessed an exciting turnout, with all three Omani drifters, topping the winners' podium. First time competitor, Haitham Al Hadidi, claimed the crown at the young age of 18, thanks to a stellar performance.
With only one drifter from each participating country, the Red Bull Car Park Drift contest rules allows three drifters from the hosting country; this year, Kuwait.

Qualifiers will continue this month in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, before all winners go head to head on December 8.
