This is a bit of an epic slomo moment film coming in at 4 minutes duration. Perhaps a little self indulgent, but a must viewing for any purist drift car obsessive. The film shows the entire top 16 field from the recent Formula Drift New Jersey round as they roll in to the driver introductions..... I want you to consider as you watch this just how many

It was a beautiful summer drifting moment: the smell of burning rubber.... intense humidity, sweat and grit baking my skin... a rowdy east coast crowd... a fantastic evening sunset......and team mates Rhys Millen and Daijiro Yoshihara going at it for the final Formula Drift New Jersey podium position. What could be better? :Rod Chong

Is the outcome of this drift battle the effect of the BHP/Torque arms race that is hitting American drifting? Was it the sheer grunt power of the Conrad Grunewald's Corvette that allowed him to open up such a huge gap to Takatori's R34? Is this the main element that caught out the Skyline driver and caused him to overshoot his corner entry?
