My name is Stavros Grillis and I am almost 13 years old. I come from Kos island in Greece were I live with my family.

How did you start drifting and at what age?

My interest in cars began at a really young age as my dad is a car mechanic (engineer). With his valuable help I managed to drive a car at the age of 5 for the first time. Then, 2 years later, when I was 7 years old I started practicing in drifting.

Why did you choose drifting?

When I was younger I used to watch DVD’s about drifting and then I realized that I am truly interested in this sport. Then, my father showed me the technique of drifting.

How do you feel being the youngest drifter in the world?

Well, I feel extremely happy, not only for the title but for the fact that I perform my favourite sport. I think I am lucky to be able to participate in races and show people my love for drifting and cars.

I drive a BMW E30.
