Kevin Morin's ascent in the drifting world is a compelling tale of resilience, innovation, and unyielding determination. Beginning with an amateur event win in 2011, Morin quickly distinguished himself in the competitive drifting scene. His entry into Canada's premier drifting league, the Drift Mania Canadian Championship (DMCC), was marked by a significant achievement when he secured a 2nd Overall finish in the AM Class. This promising ascent put him into the Pro class, however he was faced with a sudden setback due to a mechanical failure during competition, leading to a severe crash that severely damaged his car, including the intercooler, cooling system, and tubing.
The adversity set the stage for a pivotal partnership with Vibrant Performance, that provided Morin with the necessary components to rebuild his Nissan S15. The partnership was transformative, equipping the car with Vibrant Aluminum Tubing, Oval Exhaust Tubing, HD Clamps, Catch Cans, and much more, enhancing the reliability while maximizing engine performance. The upgrades played a crucial role in Morin's competitive edge, allowing him to showcase his signature style characterized by style, speed, and aggressiveness.
Morin's comeback was nothing short of spectacular, culminating in a championship win in 2017 and 2021, 3 time "Car of the Year", 2021 winner of "Salon de l'auto sort Quebec", and Kevin had established all the speed entry records in the series.
In preparation for the upcoming season, Kevin has meticulously assembled a new vehicle, a testament to the prowess and reliability of Vibrant Performance parts. This latest build is practically a showcase of the Vibrant catalog, underscoring the significant role the brand has played in fueling the ascent of a driver as skilled and talented as Kevin. With an unyielding commitment to excellence, Kevin continually tests his boundaries, subjecting every mechanical aspect of his race car to extreme conditions. We are proud to report that the Vibrant components have stood up to this relentless demand, proving their mettle in the face of competition.
As a proud Canadian, Morin's story resonates deeply within the community. His success in the drifting arena, marked by multiple championship victories, not only highlights his personal triumphs but also serves as a source of national pride, inspiring future generations of Canadian motorsport athletes.
