The Extreme Torque Show is a no pressure free for all where novice drivers can go up against some of the best drivers in the country.

Just A Clean Nissan S15…

Like a lot of older Japanese cars, the S15 never really seems to age. It's a coupe that is still highly desirable and looks as good as the day it was launched. With a relatively short production lifespan of just 3 years from 1999-2002, and the fact it was never actually sold in the UK, it's not surprising they are an uncommon sight on UK roads.

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…
