Over 5000 fans were on hand to support the competitors and get their chance to experience top class sideways drifting action. History was made as Clare Vale, the only female competitor, made it into the Top 8 for the first time. Vale however lost to Shane Green in the quarter final due to a problematic initiation.
A close upset saw George Myburgh take on 2013 champion Jason Webb in an awesome semi final battle that saw sensational drifting by Myburgh. Webb put in a tight run around the course when he was leading to put himself ahead of Myburg in points.
In the second semi final local driver, Shane Green went head to head with Wade van Zummeren. The huge crown support for Green pushed the driver to challenge the 2012 champion in and exciting duel.
