I think the opening shot of this girl checking over her R32's rear tires perfectly represents this past Sunday's event at Nikko. All the ladies were out to impress and they sure as hell didn't hold back. To give everyone a chance, the competition was divided into three groups: beginners, intermediate and the experts. This HCR32 entered in
Along with all the girls competing in the Queen Battle there were tons of other drifters there to have some fun, and one guy that was stealing all the looks when out on track was Hitoshi Sato in his Lancer Evo 6. The technique was simple, major lift-off before the corner and something resembling a scandinavian flick, then as the car would snap sideways
Take a moment to glance at this photo a little bit longer than you normally would have. Did you grip that mice a bit tighter? Or, did this photo somehow give you that edge-of-your-seat feeling?

So, if you take the time to mentally step away from the fast paced nature of a professional drift event, you'll notice that this motorsport is an art form.

Alright then, let's jump straight into the next part of our coverage of the tandem competition at Formula D Long Beach - the Top 16. After a quick lunch break after Top 32 wrapped up, the next part of the event started off with introductions for the 16 remaining drivers who'd be competing against each other in the afternoon. The Top 16 kicked
Last weekend's Formula D event in Long Beach was a groundbreaking one in the fact that it introduced the new 32-car tandem format, something which was first seen at the Red Bull Drifting Wold Championship last year. Last night Rod showed an interesting perspective with his view from the judging tower, and now it's time to head down to track
Ever since drifting first made its way stateside in the early 2000's, Falken Tire has been without question the biggest supporter of drifting in the United States. In the years since, Team Falken's iconic blue and green race cars, their drivers, the massive Team Falken transporters, and of course the Falken umbrella girls have become staples
By now you've probably heard all about what happened at the opening round of the '09 Formula Drift series in Long Beach - whether it was through our trackside Twitter updates ,or from the other media outlets that were covering the event. Needless to say, there were a lot of big stories on the Long Beach waterfront this weekend, including the
Man that Mike Garret guy is really fast!.... I'm just starting to write my Thursday report and he's already finished his.... well I have a good excuse, I was out at a film production meeting this evening. We're pulling out all the stops with a big HD video production this weekend, and have brought out some big guns to shoot the drifting
