Well I'm dead tired and covered in rubber bits, so that must mean that another season of Formula Drift has started. Today was practice and qualifying in Long Beach, and I figured I'd make a quick post highlighting some of the action before tomorrow's main event. With over 50 cars battling for a spot, qualifying would be a long, though process
I know a lot of our American readers are probably staring at the clock right now, counting down the minutes until the start of the holiday weekend. To help pass the time a little faster, here's my final bit of coverage from the Formula Drift Pro Am Nationals at Irwindale. Up above you can see Texan Stewart Leask preparing for a run in his LS1-powered
Now to continue where I left off yesterday with some more coverage from the Formula Drift Pro Am Nationals, held over the weekend at Irwindale Speedway. In the opening shot we see Washington's Nikolay Konstantinov and midwest driver Derek King performing one of the day's closest tandem runs during morning practice. Typically the cars in pro
On Saturday some of the best amateur drifters in North America gathered at Irwindale Speedway for the Formula Drift Pro Am Nationals. With prize money, free parts, and the chance for an FD Pro license on the line, the competition would be fierce, yet the atmosphere was still that of care-free grassroots event. In total there were 24 drivers who had
The day before I was scheduled to fly from the west coast paradise that is Vancouver out to New Jersey, I had a look at the photographic equipment we have locked up in a storage room at the Need for Speed studio... To my surprise, I found a bunch of professional camera lenses stashed away in a knapsack... These lenses are normally used to capture gaming
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? This photo holds a sense of absolute tension and drama. However, the drama does not originate from the MOPAR Viper, but instead from the photographers. Notice
Many of us would agree that the dramatic sideways courtship between two cars is one of most beautiful acts that the eye can witness. 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. This ballet-like spectacle touches every sense in your body;
I'm still in a "Long Beach State of Mind" as I prepare for tomorrow morning's trip back down to SoCal for the ALMS race at the Long Beach Grand Prix. Before I do that though, I'd like to finish our look at the competition from last weekend's Formula D Long Beach event. This time we'll start at the Great Eight, and move
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
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
