Drifttaxi by "Quer ist mehr" 26.05.2023

Big thanks to "Quer ist mehr", who invited us to cause big smiles on the Drifttaxi guests at the Hockenheimring. With just a handful of drivers we had a big playground to show some fun action to our Taxi guests.

Driftweek VII - USA 16.02. - 01.03.2023

After Driftweek is before driftweek... It never rains in sunny California we were promised - we had pouring rain and even snow!

Special Guest: Naoki Nakamura from Japan.

This time we were driving and drifting in Arizona and California. Starting at the Musselman Honda Circiut in Tuscon Arizona, with Forest Wang on Alex's door and night drifting, we continued on to the famous Willow Springs Horse Thief Mile in California. Youtuber JP Performance stopped by for a little chat and Larry Chen made some fabulous drift videos. Great to meet you guys!

We moved on to the technical fun track Apple Valley Speedway and got hit by snow - in the dessert! We could avoid the bad road blocks and continued on to Adams Motorsports Park. We didn't do the last track in Utah, but made sure to watch the Shitbox Derby at the Pahrump Valley Speedway. With a lover-hate-realtionship SN95 going sideways on the dirt track. Big goodbye hugs on our last night in Las Vegas, going from the Hofbräuhaus with the driftweek people crew to drive the strip up and down. Just stuff people do in the USA.

Driftweek VI - USA 07.11.-20.11.2022

Back to the madness of driving your driftcar on public roads from drift track to drift track. While driftweek 5 was held in the Northeast, this time we were in Oklahoma and Texas. Special guest; James Deane.

For more tandem action, the Nissan 350Z was replaced by a Coyote-swapped SN95 Mustang, equipped with our selfmade steering angle kit. A perfect match for "Electric Yellow", the C6. Through the Ups and Downs of driftweek we went from the Lonestar-driftbase in Fort Worth in Texas to Cams Acres in Oklahoma, onto the fast track Hallet Motor Racing Circuit, back South in the pouring rain to Houston Police Academy. 50 colorful built drift cars going insane at a Police Academy? It only happens here! From the technical Speed Sports Racing Park, on to the fast and challenging MSR Houston tracks and ending with a competition at the Grand Sport Speedway in Texas. A short tourist trip to the NASA Space center included.

This sort of USA vacation becomes sort of addicting....

Driftrodeo Ehingen 17.& 18.09.22

Finally the Driftrodeo was happening again! The only drift event close to home and even on dry pavement!

While Alex was taming some furry horses in the Wild West, Flo was rodeoing our Diva. Diva was being himself, making a little trouble within the first laps of the event - gladly it was just a fuse and Diva behaved for the rest of the drift event.

Flo and Diva had many ride alongs - it is always such a great feeling to make people happy and put a huge smile on their face while we do what we love the most: drifting from first daylight into the night with reving engines and squeeling smoky tires!

Driftweek V - USA 03.04-29.04.2022

We made it! Survived this incredible adventurous trip on the other side of the pond! And actually, both cars survived too xD

More than 7.000 km in full build drift cars on American roads and on several tracks from grassroot fun-haver tracks to the famous FD track in Englishtown.

Getting the 350Z driftcar from Arizona to Colorado, about one week to get a stock C6 into a driftcar, a couple of days to drive 3.000 km just to get to the start of driftweek 5 in Englishtown, New Jersey. 2 weeks of the insane driftlife doing driftweek with about 50 other driftcars. Driving from one track to the next on American roads in your driftcar - no trailering allowed! From windy Englishtown Raceway Park NJ into snow at Pocono Raceway PA, meeting up with some of the group at Evergreen Raceway PA, sweating in the heat at Summit Point Motorsports Park WV and ending this all weather trip back in the cold at Thompson Speedway CT.

This is how everybody imagines their vacation time in the USA, right?

Circuit du Bugey 07.& 08.03.22

Just getting home from the trackday in Anneau, we are already packing again. With a short check up on the cars within one day we were again on the road - 7 hours to drive to the next drift event in France, a very short-termed great possibility. We have never been to the Circuit du Bugey and were very excited about getting to know this track.

Big thanks to Grip&Drift.ch for organizing this event and including us to the small drift group of only 12 cars. Bugey is a very fast track, which makes tandeming more a challenge as it already is. It sure doesn't help tandeming that the track has to be watered for drifting. Both cars did great - we are happy about Bernd's recommendation for the Uniroyal tires for the front, they did wonders to help with the understeering issues on wet tracks!

It was two awesome days with the Grip-Drift.ch family. So good to see everybody again!

New steering angle kit in the making

The first version of our selfmade steering angle kit was a huge success with incredible improvement of the car's skills. The first one was made for Fox. Now there is another one in the making for the Saleen. But not just a one on one copy of the first one! Flo adjusted the steering knuckle and relocated the wheel hub to gain caster offset. This will further improve the self-steer characteristics of the car. This allows an alignment setting with less caster angle and helps getting more tire surface on the ground in full angle.
