To South Africa now where 17-year-old Kaylene Kyala Oliphant has been in her journey in the car spinning world since 14. She's now one of the well-known drifters in the country and gives well-established competitors a run for their money. What's car spinning I hear you say? I'll let CGTN's Yolisa Njamela explain.

Kaylene Kyala Oliphant. She prefers to be referred to as just Kayla. She's been car spinning or drifting for a couple of years now. Her father introduced her to this car spinning world.

KAYLIN KYALA OLIPHANT CAR SPINNER "I've been doing it for 3 years but when I started I wasn't afraid. I'm still not afraid but sometimes when you do bang you get that a bit of fear but sooner or later you just come out of that again."

Kayla drives a BMW E30 that is built for drifting. So we tagged along with her to one of her car spinning events.

KAYLIN KYALA OLIPHANT CAR SPINNER "Okay first thing you know it's your car and your trailer so you have to go with your car. If you are attending a spinning event, you have to take your own car. You go to a spinning event whenever they invite you to come. They pay you a fee of what you negotiated with the people, get to the show you, offload your car. You get your wheels sorted, after that you go on the pitch you enjoy yourself you entertain the crowd you know it's such an amazing feeling when the crowd cheers you on to do your best."

Car spinning is a growing phenomenon here in South Africa. But it's always been a male-dominated domain.

YOLISA NJAMELA PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA "It's not often that women partake in car drifting or spinning but in the past few years here in South Africa, the excitement has been growing and more and more women are taking up this hobby."

Taking the skids by storm. And sounds of her blasting tyres entertaining the crowd. The pit fills up to the brim with smoke. The thicker it becomes - the louder the screams. And Kyala relishes every moment.

KAYLIN KYALA OLIPHANT CAR SPINNER "I like doing stunts because the crowd likes seeing us doing stunts. Stunts is when you lock your car and then it basically spins on it own. You jump out of the car and stand on your roof, you hang out and all that then the crowd goes mad because the crowd cheers on man it gives you that extra confidence, that's another reason why I chose spinning because it built my confidence."

Kayla competes in events and regional competitions. She has contested in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland. She's not planning to stop car spinning anytime soon. The adrenalin keeps her pumped up all the way. Yolisa Njamela, CGTN, Pretoria, South Africa.
