Great pictures. It would be nice to see them have one of these World All Stars at a non-banked track. Have any of NZ boys ever run on a banked course before? It would have been interesting to see them be able to put their nutty high speed entries to use.

[Antihero983]

who's cefiro was that? that and the FD are SEXY!!!

[yarou]

Holy shit, BH made a shirt of the photo I took of him LOL

no banks in NZ. they said they do have faster (high 4th initiations...) tracks, but no banks.

who's cefiro was that? that and the FD are SEXY!!!

cefiro was adam richards, from NZ also. last year he was driving the red HKS S15 NOB look-alike.

[Ian]

JR bleeds RED, WHITE and BLUE!

[jackjack]

kick ass pics as always. rock on.

[IStop4NoMan]

I was kinda sad that so many cars couldnt finish their runs.
rockstar S15 blew a driveshaft at the finale

Allstars-
Pink s13, crashed, totalled
rhyse millen, blown tranny
Red corolla, blown engine
porche, broken rear suspension from being hit
Samuel Hubenette, engine problems
Nomura, Blitz Skyline, Crashed
Kumakubo hit JR in the second to last run causing it to basically be over.

It was a weird day, most people crashed, broke something, or spun out like crazy. makes for a fun show, but damnit! i wanna see people actually win for a reason!

Its drifting.

Shit happens.

You don't want it to happen but it happens.

[Bobafreak]

Yea pretty much as stated. that pink s13(repping vietnam).....wow quoc ftl on that. he didnt make it around the first turn. Jr was giving nomura a run for his money both tried their best till he crashed.) The fd was probably the loudest car out there. I also heard it was na as well. Can anyone confirm this?

seriously. well i mean i knew something was bound to happen.. but it seemed like after every run there was someone announcing their reasons they cant continue.



anyways.
the prince of Malaysia was freakin BALLSY!
also that s13 that was against nomuken.


canada sucked!
sidenote: no offense to canadians.
but they were the only ones spinning out.

Dude that was chris' first pro event. fuck and your telling me you wouldn't try to go as big as possiable when your up against pro's. just to be where he was was fucking awsome

give it some time, chris is the type of guy who comes back and lays down one hell of a show

[Bobafreak]

Yeah chris van gaalen tried. But i really thought he was gonna eat that wall. If you really wanna get on point discuss frederic and his first run around. Was his car a hybrid? Because i swear i could not hear an exhaust noise from that car.

[steve shadows]

the 20b rotary sounded amazing, too bad it couldn't utilize all its powahs.

most rotaries never do

[GabeS14]

What was up with the 3 Rotor FD? was there a prob with the car or was it the driver,???????
the car was sick, but wasn't drifting right
..paused during shifting, car would jolt a bit, speed up slow down, weird!!!

[GabeS14]

found this vid, image is sucky but can see some!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NZG7Dt-97Y

[GabeS14]

By the way, great website and pics, +1 rep for this!

[vinhnumber]

somebody post pics of that pixelized FD!! Sounded like an indy car drifting!! AWESOME! sucked that he couldn't get much grip even though he has like the widest wheels out of everybody there. DEF Props from me for putting down in the 20b! I could see him next time better prepared and place higher in the competition!

I was curious about that, so it was grip probs???
he was drifting weird, and gliding outta the course!
i thought it was inproper suspension tune!
or bad driver, i hadnt seen him before!

[vinhnumber]

yeah thats why he was letting off on the bank, because the first few times he was flooring it, and it made a shit load of smoke but he was going super slow. Just to hear that thing idle is something GREAT!

[CAPTAINNEO]

dont know what happened to quoc...i know he blew his dif in practice sunday morning...the white/grey/black camo looking FD was 20B NA. he has a website, it's http://www.madmike.co.nz/index2.php

[Addicted2Kouki]

yeah. i was just scared for them. i thought they were going to go into a wall.
but i gotta admit, those high speed banks are killer.

[240trainee]

That FD actually is low and has good fitting wheels.

camo is played but still, Australia finally did something right!!

those banks at irwindale eat cars alive. up here we have an oval with insane banks that has killed 5 cars this year i believe.

tried to find some good footage of it

[eulalia]

first off millen was crazy!! that charger sounded awsome

the 20 b was crazy loud u can hear that thing idling from the other side of the track

the porche sounded pretty crazy to

and the ae86 with 350 plus hp was crazy!!

first d1 or drift event i have ever gone to, and cant wait for the next

most bad ass part was the begining when they were drifting/burning out sideways at 2mph that blew my mind!! lol

[CAPTAINNEO]

[BRAIN_Z33]

[Addicted2Kouki]

no, straight line. slowly, car sideways.

[240sxnoob]

haha the event
overall was decent
i was staff probably the
youngest one there or smallest
haha but i got to watch the cars from side
view right where they take off

[GabeS14]

no, straight line. slowly, car sideways.

Since the track was slanted, they keep they cars angled towards the wall and do a burnout, = car starts following the wall, as it slowly slides in the direction the car is angled!:ughd:

that's what i thought they might be talking about, but thought there was no way the burnouts could be the most 'badass part' of the event.
