I know it’s easy to forget about all the stuff going on in Drifting but let’s NOT forget Formula D’s first International adventure this weekend in Singapore! Formula D reports that Andy Luk and Jim Liaw have already landed in Singapore to prepare for the event. Everyone is waiting eagerly to see how the event turns out here back in the States!

Here is a photo from the Formula D guys as they descend on Singapore.

Getting ready for the weekend in Singapore! Our crew rolls in later during the week so watch out for updates.

We already told you that we are PUMPED about NOB Taniguchi making his grand return at Fuji Speedway this weekend. Mainly we are pumped because in 6 hours we are hopping on an airplane and headed to Tokyo so we can catch this event at the famous F1 track. The rumors have been confirmed by HKS even more so this week as they have been shaking down the Toyota Altezza.

NOB looks pumped and ready to go for the competition weekend in Fuji.

See everyone out at Fuji Speedway this weekend !

It’s early in the morning but we are up all night to bring you photos from NOPI Drift Day 1 in St. Louis. We are right across the Mississippi River staring at the Arch out to the west. No qualifying took place today but many drivers dialed in the cars and learned this track which is new to the NOPI series. Don’t miss the Wrecked Gallery from Day 1.

NOPI Drift St. Louis weekend kicked off officially today at Gateway Raceway. The rain poured down but they managed to get some runs in during the monsoon. The rain is expected to clear tomorrow but if it doesn’t it would be NOPI’s third event in a row effected by rain.

Tyler Cox and the Texas crew came out for the weekend! Here is Tyler’s 6 inch diesel exhaust!

The NOPI judges only issued one license for the weekend to Memphis local Forest Luster! He now has a LS1 engine in his S13 but will be unable to compete in the NOPI competition due to his car not being tech ready.

Check out our Drift Alliance buddy Vaughn Gittin Jr. gracing the pages of the USA Today. We are pretty sure it’s the largest newspaper in the United States but if it’s not the coverage he got is still very impressive. Congrats to Vaughn Gittin and the whole Drift Alliance crew.
