Kansai All Star Drifting 2010 Video

Crazy tandem drift action from Japan

Kansai All Star Drifting 2010 Video

The absolute coolest part about drifting is when more than one vehicle hits the track at the same time, executing some sideways action in tandem.  Even better is when it's more than two vehicles at the same time...or three...or more!  Kansai All Star Drift GP is one of those events on a tight track where some of Japan's best drifters go all out, all at once.  Sit back and relax and enjoy 10 minutes of some of the most exciting drifting action you'll ever catch, unless you're there live.

Video is available after the break.

WreckedMagazine: Vaughn Gittin Jr. at Road Atlanta

The Monster Mustang goes sideways at Round 2 Formula DRIFT

WreckedMagazine: Vaughn Gittin Jr. at Road Atlanta

Vaughn Gittin Jr. has become the poster child for Mustang drifting.  After a failed attempt with Ken Gushi, Ford has really hit the mark teaming up with Falken Tires and Gittin Jr. in marketing the Mustang to the right crowd.  Gittin's new Mustang took the top podium spot in the season opener at Long Beach and continued to dominate at round two in Road Atlanta only falling short to his Falken Tire teammate, Daijiro Yoshihara in the Nissan S13.

Our friends over at Wrecked Magazine has produced an awesome video highlighting Gittin's action from the event.  Check it out after the jump!

ISIS Performance Goes Driftin'

ISIS Performance teams up with Enjuku Racing and Retaks to build an LS1-powered S14

ISIS Performance Goes Driftin'

ISIS Performance has been making a huge splash on the industry with their high quality performance products at an affordable price.  After years of research and development by teaming up with Enjuku Racing on the track going sideways, ISIS Performance decided it was time to team up with Enjuku Racing to build an S14 and put their proven products back on the professional track.  So the goal was set to build a car at an affordable price that can compete with the pros at a fraction of the cost.  With no huge budget in mind, Enjuku Racing used their years of experience in building cars to guide ISIS Performance on their S14 build.

Rest of the release after the break.

Video: Vaughn Gittin Jr. Rocks Formula DRIFT Long Beach

Vaughn Gittin Jr. has become one of the most popular Formula DRIFT drivers in the world. His over-the-top personality and crazy driving style has gotten him to the podium time and time again. Over the past few years, he's been campaigning a Ford Mustang with the best of them and has even represented Ford all around the world, drifting a Ford Mustang through Japan. His newest creation, in collaboration with Falken Tire and Monster Energy Drink, is a 2011 Ford Mustang that has already proven to be a winner. With its debut at the season opener in Long Beach, Gittin Jr. took the top podium spot with an overwhelming performance. No Mustang has ever looked smoother, faster and more fluid on the track.

Chris Forsberg / NOS Energy Drink Video

NOS Energy Drink brings you behind the scenes with Chris Forsberg for a one on one experience. Chris walks us through the history of the sport and the trials and tribulations that he, Kevin, and Sergio endured to become the first private team in the Formula DRIFT series. 

 

Chris is now leading the points in both the Formula DRIFT championship and the Tires.com Triple Crown.  If he wins he will be the first driver to do both on his way to his first Formula DRIFT title.  This will also be the first time that a “pure” drifter with no other motorsports background will become the champion.  We will find out if Chris will make history this weekend Oct. 15-16 at Round 7: Judgment Day of the Formula DRIFT Professional Championship at the Toyota Speedway at Irwindale.  Video after the jump.
