Some drifters go flat out from the first corner. Others, like Carl Perrin, rely on calm under pressure and razor-sharp precision. No big talk, no ego, just clean lines, composed entries and plenty of smoke when it matters.
And when Trax returns to Silverstone Circuit on Sunday 31st August 2025, Carl Perrin’s cool, collected style will offer the perfect contrast to the full throttle madness around him. With Drift Kings taking centre stage alongside track time, club displays and high speed passenger rides, this year’s Trax is shaping up to be the most action packed yet.

Carl Perrin at Trax 2025: What to Expect
