SPEED HERO Blog — drift

Look, I called E7 Corollas last year, they blew up. Not sure if it was me, but I was just noticing a trend is all. This year the tides have rolled back in with some fresh info: 2012 will be the year of the alternative drift chassis. Corollas, S chassis, hell even Miatas are all played out. Not just on a style basis, but rather a financial basis. The common cars for drifting are beginning to become less common in the wild. Fewer unbent, cheap, unmodified examples...

I wish I knew more aboot these Frenchyyyy Hosers, but they got the missiles down pat. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vsq3EbWRv0&feature=player_embedded]

Because I wasn't there, obviously. Everyone was mad, had diarrhea and wished they were at home playing Sega. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Darryl is feeling a bit Downey after walltapping and having his bumper stay on."][/caption]

Thanks you Shandy Sanderson for taking some snaps of the event for me, while I was away, cowering in my turtle shell.

Today was the release of Drift Unions' Night Moves. Enjoy. [vimeo http://vimeo.com/20945954]

This video, although the footage is from Live For Speed is horribly entertaining. It's been a while since I've seen a drift video that gets me excited. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEWei15vqQk]
