EVENT: Formula D Wall, NJ 2013 – Main Competition
The 2013 Formula Drift season has been full of controversy and questionable calls. Road Atlanta was more like a demolition derby, and Palm Beach saw the first legal overtakes in years. Would the fourth round of competition from Wall, NJ continue this trend, or would the sport return to its pure essence of inch-close tandem sliding? Sunny skies and a hungry field of veterans in the top 32 were the recipe for the main course. Read on after the jump to see how it all went down. -
EVENT: Practice and Qualifying from Formula D Wall, NJ 2013

This race traditionally finishes the East Coast run of the season before the competition shifts back West for the second half. Unlike past years, the track map had been changed by the organizers to more of a snail's shell layout, vs. the figure eight that was done previously. Read on to find out how practice and qualifying went down on Friday with this new route. -

EVENT: EEDC 2013 Round 2. Minsk, Belarus
EEDC Burn Drift Minsk is always a special event (or maybe for me the EEDC is always a bit special).

It has always had a certain aura about it; enormous support from spectators, no matter what... -

EVENT: King of Europe Round 1: Austria
Every year, I especially looking forward to the first big competition drift events, because that's when many new builds that were completed over the winter get revealed and properly drifted in anger for the first time. One such project that didn't only take one but actually two whole winters (plus the bit in between) was the S14a of Philippe "Dirt Drop Phil" Guillod. It was with him and two more drifters of the Driftteam Switzerland, Florian Zimmermann and Patrick Gafner, that I made the trip to Greinbach in Austria for this year's King of Europe (KoE) Round 1… -

EVENTS: Spring Matsuri, Anneau du Rhin
It's almost a tradition that the season for most of the southwest drifters starts in Anneau. In 2013, Speed Industries hosted their first event in the first week of March. In a time where more and more drift events are getting closed or banned, Anneau du Rhin is one of the last castles that remain. Due to this fact, the cars showing up at Anneau keep getting better and better; many European pro drifters have trained here. -
VIDEO: 2012 DMCC Recap
With the 2013 season of Formula Drift looming on the horizon, I decided there would be no better time than the present to start dropping footage from 2012. Alright, so maybe that's not the only reason that I couldn't get any footage out till now, but that certainly was a good push to crank out the footage I gathered from last year and never got a chance to edit. -
FEATURE: Easter Bunnies
We have been sitting on this feature now for some time, and given that drift season is swiftly approaching and some of the public have had a chance to appreciate the engineering and dedication that has been put into these motors, that along with it being Easter, could there be a better time to feature a pair of mean bunnies? -

EVENT: Cody’s D1NZ 2013 Round Three
It was hard to find a fault with the plan for Round 3 of the Cody’s D1NZ National Drifting Championship. Held in sunny Tauranga on another technically challenging, custom built circuit it was bound to be a success from the get go. However it was the first time a drift event had been held in Tauranga city and nobody was sure what kind reaction the event would receive. -

Team D Spec 570z
When Sky Zhao announced early last year that he was building a 350z for the 2013 season of D1NZ, I couldn’t really hide my excitement. Nicknamed the 570z after the choice of engine conversion - the Nissan is now running a 5.7L LS1 along with tons of parts shipped over from the US. -

INTERVIEW: KERN Racing 8.3 V10 Z4

EVENT: Cody’s D1NZ 2013 Round Two
It’s been far too long since I last got out amongst some drifting, over half a year in fact. Tuning in to online coverage of overseas events has been great but there’s nothing quite like attending an event yourself and taking in the atmosphere on offer. That’s why I was looking forward to Round 2 of the Cody’s D1NZ Championship held in Whangarei on a new custom built track, with many rebuilt and redesigned cars for the 2012/2013 season. -

STAFF PROJECT: Dan’s Daily-Scraping Miata
This is the story of a 1995 Mazda MX5 with a low-milage 1.6 liter engine, driven by a woman. It's not a rocket, it has a hairdressers-status amongst the generel public, it's small, it's unpractical, so why do you ask, why would I want to buy this? Well, let me make it simple. It has potential. Before turning 16 almost 3 years ago now, at around the same time we are now, I started looking for my first car... Actually, I started that process about ten years ago, as far back as I can even remember -
EVENT: KD European Drift Lousada 2012 Part II
After attending the annual Lousada drift event for the past few years you think I'd be prepared for the mental and physical onslaught that is shooting it. Don't get me wrong, I love drifting but after 18 hours solid of it, followed by four to five hours sleep I was less than 'chipper' when the alarm sounded for day two of the event. Come 9:00am I was back at the track, batteries full, memory cards empty, enthusiasm slightly less than brimming....but at least I had coffee.
