The incidents in fact took place as part of an official tour sponsored by Monster Energy.
The Up in Smoke Tour, which took place across seven European countries from 12-19 May, aimed to raise awareness of drifting culture in public.
It saw hundreds of modified cars take to Europe’s roads in order to visit five official circuits.
Participants were told to use legal modified cars in order to travel to the different drift locations on the tour. They had to make their way to each circuit under their own steam, without crews or support for the cars.
On their way to various well-known drift circuits throughout Europe, participants left a number of marks on various roundabouts, such as in Luxembourg. Reports surfaced on Friday regarding a number of incidents in Lorentzweiler and Contern.
The tour aimed to take the European drift car scene back to its roots, according to the event’s description. Participants were limited by selection, including a number of professionals alongside amateur drifters. The tour kicked off in Rockingham in the UK on 12 May, before travelling by ferry to Breda in the Netherlands.
On 14 May, the tour held a track day at the Midland Circuit in collaboration with the Dutch Drift League, before proceeding to Lyon in France on 14 May. The group travelled through Luxembourg on route to the Alexandre Claudin Circuit, staying in a hotel in Schuttrange overnight.
After Lyon the group proceeded to Andorra for an event on 17 May, before returning to France for a track day at the Circuit Bourbonnais in Moulains.
The tour covered some 2,000 miles between the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Andorra and Germany. A film is currently in production covering the road trip.
