As the world drift press is full of Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s Monster Mustang, I thought it might be a cool idea to look at a slightly different drift ‘stang. This is Yves Faber’s idea of a drift machine, who hails from Luxembourg. You might remember a video I posted a while ago of this car on a hill climb track in Luxembourg. The motor is a 6.1L Ford V8 breathed on by a company called Redline. It pushes out around 450 ponies and a little over 700Nm of torque, enough to propel the 1300kg fox very very sideways.

When it comes to drifting, the world of Saudi drift is very spectacular; most of the time. But watch as this amateur Saudi drifter gets stuck on top of a barrel. This brings up the question, how do we get it off the barrel? Read more about the epic drift failure at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Interesting take on Formula D Rd.1 from Mr. Estevan Oriol and Falken Tire. Really, you can’t go wrong with drifting and AC/DC.

Having recently rebuilt his Fox body Mustang, pro drifter from Luxembourg Yves Faber decided to do a shake down on his car. Only his idea of a shakedown involves going very sideways up a fast yet twisty hill climb track in Eschdorf.

The car is a 1988 fox body Mustang with a 6.1l Ford racing V8 slightly breathed on by a company called Redline. It puts out a modest 450hp with 700Nm of torque on tap. A spotlight on this car to follow in a couple of weeks. Cheers!

All hail the mighty Dodge! Fans at Road Atlanta Formula D were given a ride of their life in a Challenger as it drifted around a small course piloted by Dodge’s professional test drivers. Full of corners, this course was actually quite fun and one of the main attractions at the event. Thanks to the Dodge booth guys for letting me climb up a ladder and risk life and limb for this shot, you dudes rock.

Pushing the limits, this WWII veteran knows how to get down in a lowered Volvo. Drifting isn’t just for the youth, it’s for anyone that enjoys the smell of burnt rubber and the rush of sliding sideways. Read more about the WWII drifter at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Last weekend, a good friend and drifter from Luxembourg, Yves Faber invited me to attend the Eschdorf European Hill Race. It rained heavily on Sunday, but I stuck a camera on the car nevertheless. The car is a fox body Mustang with a 6.1l Ford V8. Enjoy!

Stephan Benini from Clash Productions was in touch last week, where he sent us a two minute preview of his upcoming short film ‘Vernal Equinox’. It’s not a motorsport film, but a fictional film that features motorsport, in particular drifting. The brief synopsis Stephane included says that the move is about a young student coming home when he faces an unexpected situation. He then becomes aware of an unexpected challenge. Stephane describes the young man’s experience as surreal.

The idea behind it was to go beyond the ‘usual music video drift editing’ and bring his work to a new level. We briefly talked about his other movie, ‘Titan’ which Stephane says is around 98% complete and will be released later this year.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Stephane’s work and I eagerly await the May 10th release of ‘Vernal Equinox’

Ripping, sliding, speeding, and high in adrenaline production count, BMW’s were made to do more than just look pretty. Watching these BMW’s tackle the track is very exciting, and shows the drift abilities of the legendary Nurburgring kings, “BMW”. Who knew Mom and Dad’s beamer could do something like this?
