Nearly all major drift events are accompanied by a car show of some sort. Usually these gatherings are mere sideshows to the action on the track, full of "tricked out" relics of the tuner scene, but Fatlace is out to change that. Based on the first of the Fatlace 1 of 1 Car Shows, Mark and company seem to have succeeded. I was only able to
Every year in the UK, Japanese car enthusiasts get together for the massive Japanese Auto Extravaganza, better known as JAE. The 2009 edition of JAE was held this weekend at Wicksteed Park in Northhampton. Photographer Rich Sams was kind enough to send us some photos from the event. The show spans all makes and eras of Japanese cars, from this showroom
As you're reading this I'll likely be on my way up to the SF Bay Area to spend a few days shooting Formula Drift Sonoma. Meanwhile for you guys, here's the final bit of my coverage from the Nisei Showoff in Los Angeles. Besides all the front-drive Hondas at the show, there were numerous S2000's. They ranged from track-ready time attack
Alright, time for some more coverage from last weekend's Nisei Showoff in downtown LA. Rumor has it that this may be the last Nisei Showoff ever, and if so it'd certainly be strange not to have this summer tradition on the calendar. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the future holds for the event. For now though, let's get on with
Despite being a nut for Japanese iron, I've never been much of an "import car show" kind of guy. I don't know why, but for some reason I've always felt out of place among shined up tuner cars, DJ's, and models. However, there's one event that I'll make an exception for - the Nisei Showoff held every year in downtown

End of May is the time of the year for the annual VAG Worthersee event. Year after year, this event takes place in the town of Velden, Austria next to the beautifull Worthersee lake. Along with the great weather, the huge lake and loads of VAG cars make this the top gathering of the year for the VAG-lovers from all across Europe. In general, loads of
For the final installment of the Exciting Car Showdown in Nagoya I thought it would be nice to take a look at some new cars, as well as some old ones. The AVO/Motec Japan 240Z JDDA Pro Street drag machine is a combination of both, being built around an S30, but powered by a more modern engine. Here is a look at the twin-turbocharged OS Giken RB30, capable
After taking a look at some of the best drift cars from the Exciting Car Show in Nagoya, I think it would have been a sacrilege not to dedicate a post to all the lovely grip-oriented machinery that was on display. First up, the Magic RX-7 on the Red Line Oil stand, which was fitted with their newest wide-body kit. I love how angular the front fenders
Time now to take a look at some of the best drift cars that were on display at the Exciting Car Showdown in Nagoya this past week-end. Kumakubo and Suenaga brought their Team Orange Evos all the way down from Nihonmatsu in Fukushima for the crowds to drool over. Finally had a good look at the Evo X's engine bay, and as you can see it is nothing
