Wow, I can't believe we are already at the end of drift month. Here's a proper desktop wallpaper to close out the month – Yukio Matsui's JZA80 Toyota Supra at Tsukuba Circuit. This Celica-faced Supra can be seen in both D1 Street Legal and the MSC series, which Yukio won last year with this car. [...]

Most of us are familiar with the infamous Driftworks 2JZ-GTE powered S15, but some of you may not be aware of the other ‘Nisyota’ from the Driftworks stable. For 2009, the car will be driven by Ben ‘Bon Bon’ Broke-Smith, who piloted the Driftworks JZX81 Chaser to EDC glory in 2008. Bon will be competing [...]
The road ahead……where does it lead? In the case of the proposed 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship we now have a map and a destination. Stephane Ratel has been a key figure, no THE key figure in the land of GT racing since 1994. He first burst onto the scene forming an alliance with Jurgen [...]
Joining all the custom American cars at the 2009 Mooneyes Nationals was a very impressive lineup of Japanese classic and modern rides. It all started out on the streets around the show venue, like the above Fairlady Z that was parked up in front of the convenience store, showing off its unmistakable lines in the warm morning [...]
Darkness still blankets the world when you wake up and get out of bed. The minute that your toes touch the floor, you're wide awake. There's no sensation of grogginess or tiredness. As you wipe your eyes, the thought of how the rest of the world still sleeping at this very moment flashes through your [...]
I know I'm a bit late on here, however, I just wanted to share Round One in Long Beach from my eyes. You've heard the "better late then never" motto? Long Beach is an awesome way to start off the season; the energy of the city and the crowd just feels electric! The course is [...]
The high speed Thruxton circuit near Andover played host to rounds 4,5 and 6 of the British Touring Car Championship last weekend. We had three winners – making it six different winners from the first six races. What other championship can claim that? Three new entries this weekend. Matt Jackson (leading, above) joins Jason Plato at [...]
Take a moment to gander at the utter ridiculousness of this car. It is stupid slammed, it is has a set of absurdly vulgar wheels, an equally ludicrous body kit on it, and on top of all that, an absolutely silly gold flake paint job. This Nissan 240sx, in all conventional wisdom, makes absolutely no [...]
We got some requests from the Wall Rubbin' post for some more shots of the car, so thought it would be cool to pull Martin and the car aside for a quick spotlight ! The car is Martins T-Car, that is, it's his backup car whilst the Altezza is being completed. It's the same S14 [...]
Hmmm. I think I'll just go ahead and let that lead photo speak for itself. These pictures were taken at a drift practice event in Hungary by a photographer named Kristof Kiraly, and they make a fine addition to the international drift coverage we've been running this month. What caught my eye first is [...]
No doubt you've already seen plenty of photos of Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s 2010 Ford Mustang competition drift car, but I thought could add a bit American flavor to our drifting features this month with a closer look at this unique beast. After being teased by videos earlier in the year, I couldn't wait to finally [...]
The colours you see are more commonly found on a Ford WRC car, or on one of many of Eddie Stobarts haulage trucks. But for 2009, Japspeed, Stobart and Maxxis Tyres have come together to prepare this Silvia S15. The car is driven by Irishman Shane Lynch and will compete in the British Drifting Championship [...]
