44th SFF - RDS GP: Tire War 3 by Alexander Kuzmichev - Russia

The first Russian documentary series about motorsport «RDS GP: Tire War 3» is bringing the audience through the dramatic stories of Russian Drift Series season 2023. The main intrigue of the docuseries is that drift stars Gocha Chivchyan and Arkadiy Tsaregradtsev can do nothing against Anton Kozlov. Anton is a humble guy from Ulyanovsk who is driving a lightweight cheap drift car “Probabka“ and starts winning from the first stage. Chinese racing driver Charles Ng, driving the first Russian drift hypercar Flanker F, sets himself a goal to win the Championship, but he will face fierce competition from the contenders right up to the final round. Dreams of the young yet ambitious TimeUp team are turning into nightmares from the start of the season: the team founder Leonid Schneider and his teammates have a long and rocky path to their first champagne. By the start of the season RDS GP debutants Tim Dobrovolskiy and Popov brothers only have serious skills in sim racing, but they earn respect going through life-changing challenges in the real life races during the season. The pursuit of the tournament points goes to a new level and beyond the racing track: team principals of Lukoil Racing and Fresh Racing are ready to do anything for the incredible comebacks. Unprecedented psychological pressure on the judges, lobbying the interests of the drift pilots, online shaming, financial leverages, looking for loopholes in the regulations, life threatening racing accidents.... And incredibly risky drifting of the best racers on the best tracks in the fight for the RDS GP 23 title! Never-before-seen insider’s view of drifting in 7 episodes!
