What is #MaximumAttack?

You’ve seen and heard the slogan mentioned on Speedhunters and you might even have it emblazoned across your chest or on a bumper sticker, but what does #MaximumAttack actually mean? For Speedhunters’ team driver Charles Ng, it’s his state of mind each and every time he goes into battle in his Infiniti G37 Formula Drift machine – something we think this cool little clip from our friends at Thirsty Film illustrates perfectly.

oh i thought it was the sudden intense, outrageous, insane adrenaline rush type of feeling when vtec kicks in...

I thought it was a reminiscence to Finnish rallye-legend Markku Alén, who became famous for his phrase "and now maximum attack". :)
(Or "maximum kangaroo" when the road was very bumpy. :D )

#MaximumAttack .......... the main cause of losing random body panels of your car! :D

I think Charles NG took this slogan from Romanian drifter Dobre Nicolae! They met in Charles short visit in Romania and Dobre showed him MAXIM ATAC!

nielssan is right. Alén already used this in the early 80's and I think it was some interview in 1981 where he first used the phrase "now maximum attack". It's a years old saying now yea but like suddenly it would be a slogan Speedhunters invented - no way.

Markku Alén gave the world the phrase maximum attack and was really good at going "maximum attack" in the days when rally cars were full of power and even less predicable than a World Cup semi.....

Definitely has its origin in Rally (Which is the original drifting sport too)
