Steve Biagioni takes 1st place in 10th anniversary drift event held in Malta

Brighouse, Yorkshire- Steve Biagioni’s prestigious title win of ‘King of Kings’ Drift champion in Malta this month, has added to a great season for both Biagioni and his technical supporter Millers Oils. The competition saw the Monster Energy driver and his Nissan S13 200SX fight off stiff opposition from 15 other pro drivers to take the win. Biagioni has had a fantastic season, currently placing third in the British Drift championship and 4th in the King of Europe championship. Millers Oils provides the benefits of nanotechnology through its advanced Nanodrive lubricants, which help reduce friction, increasing available power and improving durability.

“To win King of Kings in Malta was a great achievement,” says Biagioni, Drift King of Kings Champion 2014. “Despite the poor weather, everyone was determined to have a great time and the Maltese drift organisation put on an excellent event. Millers Oils’ technical expertise and innovative products offer the durability benefits needed to succeed in drift competitions, and provide the competitive edge that every racer is looking for.”

The Nissan, which is prepared by Abbey Motorsports, runs Millers Oils’ Nanodrive® 10w60 NT engine oil and Nanodrive® CRX 75w140 NT in the rear differential and Samsonas gearbox. The nanotechnology utilised in Nanodrive® oils reduces friction without compromising film strength, reducing parasitic power loses, fuel consumption and wear whilst improving power and torque. This reduction in friction helps drift drivers retain durability in an environment that is exceptionally harsh on components, while at the same time releasing additional power from the engine to provide a competitive edge.

Biagioni’s win adds to the exceptionally successful season Millers Oils has experienced with their supported drivers, who have secured over 90 podiums between them this year.

“Biagioni’s title win is a great addition to the achievements of our supported drivers and teams,” says Jason Lavender, Business Development Manager for Motorsport and Classic, Millers Oils. “Through our motorsport support scheme we’re able to provide the lubricant expertise and products that help teams improve durability and increase available power, while further developing our technologies. We’re delighted with this year’s results and wish all our supported drivers the best of luck for the end of the season.”
