Declan Hicks

Declan Hicks

Declan Hicks is a professional racing driver, competing in the European Drift Championship and National D1 Drift Championship of Great Britain.

Originally Hicks competed in a Mk1 Mazda MX-5, which proved a great starting point for a budding drifter. Soon the requirement for big power was met by the acquisition of a second generation Toyota Soarer, with a rare manual gearbox and factory sunroof delete option package. This has provided the ideal base for a drift car, despite being originally intended by Toyota as a Luxury Coupe. Long gone is the two litre twin turbo engine, having been replaced with a Single Turbo 2.5 litre powerplant.

Declan is involved in many various forms of motorsport, and was recently part of a team building and racing a Power Tool Drag Racer to race in the Silverline tools Challenge, soon to be seen on the Discovery Canada magazine show Daily Planet, with his team-mates Jon Lawes and Ben Short. Declan is a senior drift instructor, event organiser & also heavily involved in marketing & media within the drift industry.

Declan is sponsored by RHDJapan, Universal Turbos, Silverline Tools, CarDomain GAZ Shocks, Autoglym, & Sumo Power. He maintains a website which keeps a regular blog of all of his events, information about his cars build, championship progress & photographs.
