Rhys Millen in Manila

Celebrity drift racer Rhys Millen visited Manila over the weekend to promote Red Bull energy drink, as we announced here. As a matter of fact, we even held a contest that gave lucky TopGear.com.ph readers a chance to meet him in person. Well, time for you to see what exactly he came to our shores for. Here are photos and a video of Millen's drifting stunt at the Quirino Grandstand.

The car that Rhys Millen used for his drifting stunt in Manila was a 350hp Nissan Silvia, naturally wearing a Red Bull livery. We got word that this car is owned by Filipino drifter David Feliciano.

      I think much better comparison is Rhys Millen and Tanner Foust, since both have visited the Philippines already. :)
