WEBMINING> Meet The Drivers of JDM Allstars
Better late than never, Dan Joyce just released this light hearted behind the scenes look at last year’s awesome Round 3 of the JDM Allstars drift championship at Wembley. There’s not much actual driving but it’s great to see the drivers relaxed and having a laugh, which is what drifting should be about. Having FUN!
For 2010 I’ll be trying my best to get up and down the country armed with my camera to bring you all the latest UK drift action here on MotorMavens. Starting with the JDM Allstars 2010 season kicking off on April 17th – 18th in Manchester, with what’s going to be one of the biggest and most exciting rounds to date!
Here’s to an awesome 2010!

WEBMINING> Kawabata’s Unbelievable Entry!
I’ve had to watch this video of Kawabata drifting his Toyo Tires S13 in Japan over and over and OVER again at least 10 times just to see if it was somehow a fluke or even possibly faked! When you watch this video, you’ve GOT to agree that he nailed down an absolutely unbelievable entry!
I’m utterly speechless, just shaking my head in bewilderment… so please help me out here and comment below! Wasn’t his entry into that corner just NUTS?! Also, does anyone know which circuit that was? At first I thought it might be Sugo Sportsland, but after watching it again, I don’t think so…

WEBMINING> Smart drifters prefer Hayabusa engines
Just when you thought Smart cars were only for urban dwelling green enthusiasts… we uncovered this video, which features a Smart fortwo with a Hayabusa engine in it! Sounds good to us! Although having that much power and torque in such a small frame sure won’t be meeting the strict safety regulations of a Volvo (for example) any time soon, there are some times when you just need to throw caution to the wind because driving a car like that just looks fun as hell. Imagine how fun it would be to play bumper cars with Hayabusa engined Smart cars?! That would be AWESOME – and you know it!
City dwellers – just imagine being able to kick your clutch, yank your steering wheel and pull super quick u-turns in the middle of busy metropolitan streets when you’re trying to find that elusive parking spot in the city!
Hell yeah. Sign us up!
