DESKTOP: Kearney v. Aasbo In The Wet
As a sport, drifting is often defined by how much smoke one can burn from their rear tires in a sideways slide. A wet track makes the sideways part a lot easier, but seriously negates the drama of puffy white clouds emitting from the car's ass-end. How then to capture the emotion and tension during a battle under rainy conditions? -

Paul’s AE811 – Not all as it seems
I still remember Paul's Levin staring back at me the when I looked through the eyepiece of my camera for the first time a couple of years back. As per usual in the New Zealand car scene, not all vehicles are as they seem; with an AE111 heart and AE86 driveline, this particular Levin was not your typical (excuse my pun) Black and White '85. -
EVENT: Gale Force Drifts – BDC License Day 2014
For many, a British Drift Championship license day marks the beginning of the UK drift season.

DRIFT CAR: Louis Lawrence: Prepared for War…
During a run of the mill ‘grassroots’ drift practice day at Teesside Autodrome a few months ago, I spotted a S14a which stood out from the crowd, a crowd which is usually filled with old BMWs and other beat up drift missiles that people tend to use while they find their drift legs... -
EVENT: MYWAY Drift School
When an automotive blogger like me gets an event invitation by an established company, it's normally some tech-talk event at a factory or a meet n greet at a convention, so when Dotz Wheels sent me an envelope with an invitation for a weekend in Hungary, I was really excited! -
EVENT: D1NZ 2014: Round Three
While the rest of the world is still battling wintry conditions, over here in New Zealand we're making the most of our summer months while we can.

VIDEO: AE86: Raw
While cruising around the internet recently watching drift videos (a pretty common pastime of mine), I saw a video that featured one car with a bunch of raw clips. No music, no editing trickery, no filler, all meat. I'd had similar parts in previous videos of my own, but never actually did a full raw video... until now. -

Here's how it went down at a very cold Taupo Motorsport Park… -
EVENT: Formula D Wall, NJ 2013 – Main Competition
The 2013 Formula Drift season has been full of controversy and questionable calls. Road Atlanta was more like a demolition derby, and Palm Beach saw the first legal overtakes in years. Would the fourth round of competition from Wall, NJ continue this trend, or would the sport return to its pure essence of inch-close tandem sliding? Sunny skies and a hungry field of veterans in the top 32 were the recipe for the main course. Read on after the jump to see how it all went down. -
EVENT: Practice and Qualifying from Formula D Wall, NJ 2013
For the fourth stop on the 2013 Formula Drift calendar, the series headed to Wall Stadium in New Jersey. This race traditionally finishes the East Coast run of the season before the competition shifts back West for the second half. Unlike past years, the track map had been changed by the organizers to more of a snail's shell layout, vs. the figure eight that was done previously. Read on to find out how practice and qualifying went down on Friday with this new route. -

EVENT: King of Europe Round 1: Austria
Every year, I especially looking forward to the first big competition drift events, because that's when many new builds that were completed over the winter get revealed and properly drifted in anger for the first time. One such project that didn't only take one but actually two whole winters (plus the bit in between) was the S14a of Philippe "Dirt Drop Phil" Guillod. It was with him and two more drifters of the Driftteam Switzerland, Florian Zimmermann and Patrick Gafner, that I made the trip to Greinbach in Austria for this year's King of Europe (KoE) Round 1… -

EVENT: Cody’s D1NZ 2013 Round Two
It’s been far too long since I last got out amongst some drifting, over half a year in fact. Tuning in to online coverage of overseas events has been great but there’s nothing quite like attending an event yourself and taking in the atmosphere on offer. That’s why I was looking forward to Round 2 of the Cody’s D1NZ Championship held in Whangarei on a new custom built track, with many rebuilt and redesigned cars for the 2012/2013 season.
