EVENT: D1NZ 2014: Round Four
A wet track welcomed us to Taupo for round four of the Cody’s D1NZ National Drifting Championship. Despite the weather this round would be an important stepping stone on the championship calendar.

Meanwhile, Mad Mike Whiddett would be hoping to extend his considerable lead overall. -

EVENT: The Scorcher: 2013 Maxxis British Drift Championship Round Three
As we enter the British summer, round 3 of the British Drift Championship is upon us.

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
For the fourth stop on the 2013 Formula Drift calendar, the series headed to Wall Stadium in New Jersey. 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: 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. -
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 Four

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. -
EVENT: KD European Drift Lousada 2012

EVENT: Crazy Karpacz Touge, Poland
or those who don’t know, Touge is the Japanese word for a winding mountain road. That is where the drifting started. It is currently the fastest growing motorsport and certainly every fan of drifting would love to see a competition on winding mountain roads. Surely this is the same thing that inspired organizers of the Polish Drifting Championship (DMP) last year, who decided to do a round in Karpacz, the small town located in the Polish mountains… -
EVENT: EEDC 2012 x Drift Allstars: Mariapocs
I have to admit, going to Hungary I’ve had split feelings - on one hand we had an opportunity to see how our (EEDC) drivers look going against “Drift AllStars” , probably the best drivers in Europe, a Hungarian drift culture which always had a lot of sexual content within it, and a worrisome night stage on a track which from videos looked slow and narrow… I was not sure what to expect. -
EVENT: 2012 British Drift Championship: Round Five Super Pro: Trax Silverstone
Trax is a show that caters for all aspects of the car scene and only has time slots for a Super Pro Top 16 - but its by no means a display.

EVENT: Formula Drift 2012: Throwdown, Day One
It's incredible how large the sport has grown in the past coupe years, and how the cars have changed to quickly. ProAm drivers were moved to their own separate area as the main pit area was filled to the brim with all the Pro drivers. Every year there have been an increase in the amount of drivers competing for that top 32 spot, and its great to see so many new faces and cars out to battle. -

FEATURE: Josh’s Deadbeat BMW
When I think of a BMW in North America, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the stance and fitment movement. You know... Stanceworks and Lowly Gentlemen. Classy, well-fitted bimmers scraping at static height or laying frame on bags. While Europe has been at the forefront, for obvious reasons, North America has been a little late to the game when it comes to using them for drift cars...
