While watching this video, I found myself frozen like a stone due to over exposure to pure awesomeness! Hats off to everybody that participated into the making of that film. The camera work is so great that you could swear it was all directed and the drivers where actors that had to take 15 takes on each frame. Excelent! The cars look bitchin', the driving, the sheer skillz are bitchin'... everything's just on spot!

Even though I to feel disturbed that what drifting used to be is fadding away in favour of business and interests, but yet I can say that grass-roots drifting is not dead at all! Drifting where people are showing off there skillz and there home-built cars, all under the sacred rule of pure style and personality. Those can still be found even in the high-profile drifting events such as the D1, but it's on a different level, people are still having mad-fun drifting around with crazy cars. Still I think that D1 lacks in style and less stickers would be perfect for everyone to enjoy a nice bodykit and a over-all nice car that reprezents it's driver.



Good or bad, low profile or high profile drifting is here, it's taking over the plannet and it's here to stay!

Maybe I'm going a bit too far, but I'd love to have drifting be a sport as great as footbal or WRC, in the hope that some day we will be able to turn on Eurosport and see the latest news about drifting and D1 and follow the whole season.



Dreaming.. dreaming, I know, but I'm quite confident that sooner or later it'll happen.



Long live drifting! Peace!!!
