That car is absolutely amazing I watched the entire build up of it and this article though very well written does not do the build justice. To see the photos step by step of this amazing build inspires me more and more everytime I see it. Not only is this car amazingly built the smoke it generates when sideways is more than I have ever seen before in my life. The smoke absolutely smothers its opponents.

You can see the entire build up here. www.driftworks.com/.../29908-driftworks-s15-2jzgte.html The amount of work put into this car is amazing.

Zamildrift........pushing the engine back to create a better weight distribution has been done for most of the successful GT1 cars of the past few years.......the Ferrari 550 from ProDrive started the trend, then the Aston Martin DBR9, also from ProDrive, did the same while lowering the engine as well to create a lower centre of gravity. I am not sure what Pratt & Miller did with the C6R but I would be amazed if they did not manage something similar.

Another good example is the Panoz LMP01 prototypes, which appear to be front engined but in reality it is the driver that is shunted toward the rear of the car, with the head shredding V8s they were one of the maddest cars on the planet.

That is insane! Phil is totally crazy, but nevertheless I like the idea he pushed his engine far back for more better weight stabilty etc.

Thanks folks......I agree that the pictures do not do the car justice but with the damp conditions at Silverstone precluding smoke during most of the track time it was the best that I could come up with.

Will try harder in future.

As to quotes...........well I talked it through with Phil prior to writing the piece and I felt it more appropriate to give him the credit for what is said than pretend that I knew all that stuff, not that you guys would have been fooled for a moment, you sliders can spot a phoney any day.

Maybe we will run another angle on the car next year, I have a cunning plan.

Excellent write-up, even if it's mostly quotes, very comprehensive! Thank you for the coverage, I saw a forum thread about the build, this car is awesome!!

Nice writeup on an absolute weapon of a car. Seeing this car run at Silverstone for the first time at Round3 was something else. I watched the build develop on Phils thread on the Driftworks forum and to see it running and running well was superb. The smoke screen laid down by this car is incredible, the photos do it no justice at all, anyone twinning with Phil really must be crazy as there's no way on earth they can see where they are going when following.

I think this car could well be the most developed pure drift car in the world at the moment.
