This past August, I was invited to be a guest judge at a local drift Drift Mania West event, held at Western Speedway in Victoria BC, Canada. As you can expect at typical North American grass roots drift event, the majority of the cars competing were S chassis of various types. But one drifter chose to break the mold with his choice of car and went
In the early days of Speedhunters, whenever the subject matter of Need for Speed came up, it became clear that you guys thought we suffered from bad car style. And rightly so, it was the nature of the way that the 3D car models were created in the old games, that ended up with the same basic group of kit designs being used across all the various cars

Unfortunately, given that we are a very small team, we just don't have time to answer all of these emails.... sometimes though, I will make a point of replying to
.... this is the result... ouch.... Perhaps we need to band together and start a "save the AE86s" campaign?.... This pains me to see, but probably pains the owner of this car "Paz" a hell of a lot more. Sorry to see this m8. :< :Rod Chong From the Driftworks forum
For some reason Chris Forsberg seems to show up a lot in these Slomo Moment videos. Not sure why that is. Perhaps I like the colour orange? At any rate he is not the main star of this video. That honour goes to the privateer drifter John Russakoff and his battered AE86. John caused a bit of a stir at Irwindale last year when he qualified for the Top
One for Antonio heh heh heh... Found this on the Auszuko forums
