A good number of automotive related videos are watched on a daily basis at the Speedhunters offices. And lately, the influx of drifting related videos has sky rocketed. But when this film, from YAER Productions came across our desk, following Formula Drift driver, Ryan Tuerck, we were rather taken aback by its fresh take on a scene that has seen its fair share of videos.The film chronicles the moment when Ryan is waking in his hotel room, to the daily humdrum of the morning and finally, to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a good bit of tire slaying.

Ryan is currently 6th in the driver's championship with one more round to go.

What's up everybody! My name is Ryan Tuerck. When I first started drifting I had no idea what it actually was.

I started with Gardella racing in 2008 with a mostly production based car. We finished the season with a career high 6th place in the Formula D championship. This year 2009, Gardella racing pulled out all the stops, leaving no bolt untouched and built a drift car with the hopes of winning the '09 Formula D championship. ...
