Life On Cars understands that TV production company Shine Films will be bringing two of the world's most sideways drivers, former British Champion, Steve Baggsy and the Japanese founder of the sport Keichii, known as the ‘Drift King’ (pictured above) to the Merseyside city to film a drifting sequence for a forthcoming documentary.
The sequence, which a source at the company said will be "quite a spectacular event for the motorsport fan", will be shot at the Pier Head between 6pm and 9pm on the evening of Tuesday, August 20. It is not the first time the city has been used for high-octane filming, with the makers of Fast and Furious Six using it to film a chase sequence.
The finished documentary is expected to be broadcast this December.
