Central Asia Drift Show is an international drift series on the shore of the Kapshagay Reservoir, 65 km from Almaty. The July round featured Japanese drift legend Masato Kawabata, roaring engines and tyre smoke.

Then came the concert: Omerta performed on Peschanaya Kosa, with DJ Worm on the decks. Drifting by day, rap by night — the perfect weekend.
