One car that definitely made waves in the United States professional drifting scene is the JIC Magic/Hankook Tires Porsche 993 GT2. This car is being driven in the Formula Drift Series by Northern California’s Tyler McQuarrie, a driving instructor at Infineon Raceway. This was the first-ever Porsche to be used for professional drifting in the United States, and as a result, it made a lot of media headlines when it first came out.
So let’s take a closer look at the car itself. The car’s owner, Jon Kaneda from JIC Magic in Downey California, tells me that the original base car was actually a 1996 European version lightweight 993RS street car that was converted to GT2 specs – this wasn’t built as a race car originally, it actually started life as Jon’s street car!
Inside the cockpit, you’ll notice two Cobra racing seats, Sparco harnesses, and a Momo steering wheel with Works Bell steering wheel hub. This JIC Porsche 993 is strictly business! And achieving JIC’s first podium win at New Jersey, Tyler McQuarrie is handling it!
