After a long summer break, the NFS-EDC circus arrived at Snetterton in Norfolk of the grand finale of the 2009 season. With the title still within reach of 3 people, NFS-EDC round 5 had all the makings of event of the year. The Coram section of Snetterton has not been used for a drift event for a good few years and I for one had forgotten just how spectacular
For the Winner desktop this round i give you Phil Morrison on his way to winning round 5 Santapod, available as always in normal and widescreen in the desktops section
From the super fast sweeping turns of Brands Hatch to the tight and technical custom made Santapod track, round 5 of the NFS-EDC championship could not be more different to all of the previous rounds. 8am and the British summer time played its trump card and delivered a mix of drizzle and heavy showers of rain making conditions a little tricky.

With round two Knockhill well and truly over i thought i would take a look back behind the scenes of the event, the paddock is a nice open place where its easy to see whats going on so i thought i would try and focus a little on the people you don't normally see during the events and the things that happen behind close doors. The drivers briefing
Knockhill.. a place where you can have a years worth of weather in 24 hours, for practice yesterday it served up rain ,hail, and heavy fog.. today for NFS-EDC round 2 we were greeted with blue sky's and the threat of sun burn.

Round 2 of the NFS-EDC championship see's us heading north to the Knockhill circuit in Scotland, this is by far the most difficult event for me to get to but one of my favorites, the track is just superb! 100mph+ entrys into turn 1 followed by a flat out downhill transition into a slow technical almost hairpin to finish, coupled with Knockhill's
