Carnage at Ebisu

Perhaps Luke Hux-"ham-off-the-bone"'s coolest video yet.

I mean.. who doesn't love to see drift carnage.. or even better.. carnage at Ebisu circuit?
Ebisu Circuit : RUN THE WALL from Luke Huxham on Vimeo.

Seems like Ebisu was made for wall scrapes..

which is just one of the reasons it's known a "drift heaven"..

and why Drift Matsuri week is known as "drift heaven week".

TIP: don't be bringing your D1 spec show car to drift matsuri.. Or it will end up looking like this:

Mad Mike's 26B 4-Rotor Generation 5 RX-7

If you're a drift fan or simply rotary nut, your jaw is bound to drop when you see Mad Mike's latest weapon.

Mike's Red Bull FD Rx-7 'Madbull' is now in it's 5th generation.

Still keeping the Naturally Aspirated 26B 4 rotor engine, but it now is equipped with a tube chassis front and rear.

Here is a recent video of it in a shakedown session:




The car is now all ready to be sent to good old Australia where he'll be competing in the Tectaloy Drift Challenge that's running in conjunction with the World Time Attck in Eastern Creek raceway in Sydney on 5 and 6th of August 2011.

Nicely done Mike and good luck in the competitions!

Would love to see it in the flesh too to hear the 10,000 rpm and beyond scream from the 4 rotor. Maybe a special appearance at a D1 Japan round is on the cards?

Okayama D1 2011 Results - Kumakubo And Laurel Win

Round 5 of D1GP for 2011 was held in Okayama on June 26th 2011 way down in the south west part of Japan.

Kumakubo came out victorious when he beat the other mega horsepower 4-door driver in the final, Daigo Saito.

It was Kumakubo's first win in his new 1000ps Laurel.

Since he debuted in the big RB26 powered Orange beast this year, his results have been getting better and better.

Let's hope he can continue the streak for the D1 double-header in Ebisu on August 6th, 7th.
