IMO one of the world's great spectacles of motorsports is full force drifting at Irwindale Speedway. It really feels like a gladiatorial battleground, complete with a blood thirsty crowd. It simply has to be experienced to be believed.
It was a defining moment in the 2007 Formula Drift championship. Two title contenders: Yoshihara and Forsberg had to square up against one another to fight it out for not only the Irwindale podium, but also the final standing of the overall championship. Dramatic stuff indeed.

Better yet, download the full rez 720p quicktime and watch it full screen. You won't be disappointed!
Tx to my man Rob Bullough for the dark soundscapes!

The beauty of tsuiso is when they actually bang into each other....lol
You're right about Irwindale. I flew from NYC to Cali just to watch D1 Japan VS USA. This was the year that Vaughn won for the first time. Can I ask what type of equipment you guys use for the vids? Theyre simply stunning!
We use Panasonic HXV cameras with a variety of different lens attachments to get the desired cinematic effect. Some shots have 35MM lens adaptors, some not.
Awesome! Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing more!
