TrueVisions introduces TrueVisions Drift Team
TrueVisions has introduced TrueVisions Drift Team, the first and only drift team in Thailand to promote motor sport, especially drifting, in Thailand to reach international level.
The company also aims to be the hub for motor sport lovers by broadcasting the competitions on TrueVisions, the company announced in a press statement.
The goal of TrueVisions Drift Team, apart from winning the competition, is to mix speed and art harmoniously in Drift Art Clip to showcase Thai motorists’ drifting skills, the company said.
TrueVisions Drift Team’s competition in every tournament will be broadcast on TrueVisions starting this May on True Sport 3 (TrueVisions 103) and on TrueVisions Anywhere application. The team’s updates and clips will also be posted on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram under the name TrueVisions Drift Team.
Ongard Prapakamol, Board of Directors of TrueVisions Group, said TrueVisions want to meet the growing popularity of motor sport in Thailand by introducing drifting, which is fast becoming a well-known motor sport in the US, UK and Japan since 2006.
“In Thailand, the popularity of drifting is rising rapidly because it is challenging and exciting. Today, there are many new drifters in Thailand, and TrueVisions sees the importance of being a part of this growing sport to support the drifting community in Thailand locally and internationally,” Ongard said.
“This is also a part of our TrueVisions Cheer Thai campaign. We have set up TrueVisions Drift Team and serve as a medium for our audience to see the excitement on TrueVisions. We would like to invite the audience to watch and support TrueVisions Drift Team and every drift team in Thailand. This is one of the most fast growing sports in Thailand at the moment.”
He said TrueVisions also present world-renowned motor sport content such as Go Kart, Jet Ski King’s Cup, Moto GP, F1, World Rally Championship, V8 Supercars 2014, Nascar, Superbike World Championship, Motocross World Championship, and TrueVisions Bobby Hunter Super One Race 2014.
Kanagorn Hoontrakool, General Manager of TrueVisions Drift Team, said: “TrueVisions Drift Team is the first and only drift team in Thailand. We are different from other drift teams because we mix art, speed, entertainment and friendship together.”
He said his team has two goals:
- To compete: In 2014, the team will participate in three tournaments which are D1 Grand Prix Thailand. Drift Competition Thailand and Formula Drift. TrueVisions Drift Team is confident that our drifters and our team’s strength will result in the victory in every tournament.

The team is supported by TrueVisions’ production team to make the clips even more perfect and well-known internationally. In addition to that, the team has CSR plans, such as donating used tyres for art projects or for public use.
