For many, drifting is a spectacle of smoke and speed. For Norman Agojo, it is a masterclass in precision, discipline, and national pride. A businessman by trade and a champion by grit, the Batangas native has spent nearly two decades evolving from a car enthusiast into one of the Philippines' most formidable forces on the drift track.
Norman’s obsession with automotive culture didn't start on the track; it began with restoration and modification. He cut his teeth in drag and circuit racing before a short course in drift driving changed everything.
By 2008, what began as a hobby transformed into a professional pursuit. After clinching his first amateur championship, Norman transitioned from the sidelines to the center stage of the Philippine drift scene.
To stay competitive at the highest level, Norman relies on his Nissan Silvia S15. Powered by a legendary 2JZ-GTE engine pushing 800 horsepower, the car is a physical extension of his driving style: aggressive entries paired with clinical control.
While his early days were spent mastering a Nissan Skyline R33, his current setup allows him to execute the high-speed transitions and tire-shredding runs that have become his trademark.
Norman’s career reached new heights as he was named National Drift Overall Champion and Drifter of the Year. However, his impact extends far beyond local borders. By competing and winning in Thailand, Malaysia, and the USA, Norman has proven that Filipino drivers belong on the global stage.
His efforts haven't gone unnoticed. Recognized by the AAP (Automobile Association Philippines) and the Golden Wheel Awards, Norman remains a proud ambassador for Philippine motorsports.
Despite the accolades, Norman remains grounded in the sport he loves. "Drifting is humbling," he says.
Looking toward the future, his goals are clear:
Whether he’s in the boardroom or behind the wheel, Norman Agojo continues to prove that with enough "seat time" and the right mindset, there are no limits to how far you can slide
