The drivers

Ben Somerville

Ben is the founding member and Managing Director of Tsujigiri! Having started drifting in the mid-00’s and gained his BDC Pro License in 2009, Ben has held a championship license longer than most people have even known about drifting! His background in aviation and extreme sports means that he always brings the highest level of technical focus to everything the team does, and he is responsible for the oversight of Tsujigiri’s digital product development

Andrea Fabri

3 time Maltese national champion; Andrea is one of the most promising drivers in European competition of recent years! He gained his first championship in 2017 and proceeded to secure the top spot for both subsequent years before intending to switch to international competition. Sadly the COVID-19 pandemic put pay to that but, rest assured, once normality resumes he will be a force to be reckoned with alongside the rest of the team!

Phil maclachlan

Phil is another of UK drifting’s longest standing competitors. Over the years he has competed at the highest level with Team Green and, later, Driftworks, in the British Drift Championship. Phil has stood on the podium many times in his career and, having now returned from a break of a few years to focus on his family, is ready to bring the fight back to the track in his new build and teach these young upstarts, and his younger brother, who’s the boss!

Stuart maclachlan

Stuart is the most recent addition to the Tsujigiri Collective driver stable. Having earned the right to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with his brother in the UK’s highest level drift competitions via the incredibly tight challenge of the Driftcup championship, Stuart has proven himself to be a more than capable driver with a flare for tight, aggressive twinning. The only question remains; in the battle between him and his brother, who will come out on top?
