Speedhunters announced yesterday morning that another car is being added to the Team NFS which already features Mad Mike Whiddett and Matt Powers. This addition will actually be Darren McNamara for some European Drifting. That means the V8 powered Saturn Sky won’t be retired anytime soon with the Falken colors. The highlights of news is that this car will be receiving a powerful  13B rotary engine. If you want to find out more about this insane project follow the link below.

Pro Drift invaded Dublin with a Citywest event and we got a video thanks to Hankook Tire. Alan Sinnott drifted his Toyota Corolla to a third place podium finish after beating Chris Brady. Check out the highlights of the ProDrift event with this great video from ProDrift.

It looks like James Deane is still on a rampage this 2010 season taking home the victory at Prodrift in Dublin over the weekend. I was even told that Dean Kearney showed up at Citywest in Dublin to make a return to the series. Regardless of that it was the Deane brothers taking home first and second for the event. James was able to defeated his older brother Mike to take home another win in the 2010 season. Here is how the top four finished up.

1st- James Deane
2nd- Mike Deane
3rd- Alan Sinnot
4th- Chris Brady

According to his website, Eric has been hard at work getting the F20 V-TEC powered Toyota Corolla in shape for ProDrift Round 3 this upcoming weekend in Dublin, Ireland. Eric stated the car has been neglected since it’s run at the 2008 Redbull World Championship. He has been hard at work getting the car back in shape and could very well take home a victory at ProDrift Round 3. Maybe a good performance will translate into Formula Drift Round 4 in Seattle just around the corner.

Prodrift Driver James Deane Winning Fermoy

Check out James Deane drifting it up in his Nexen Tire Mazda Rx-7 to take home the victory at ProDrift Round 1. This coming just after his great top eight finish at Formula Drift Long Beach. We cannot wait to see how he will continue to do in both drifting series this season. He is slated to return to Formula Drift once the series returns to the west coast.

Just below Tire on his front bumper you can see a black square which happens to be a Wrecked Magazine sticker. One of our readers pointed out that James was running this on his Mazda Rx-7 for the Round 1 Fermoy weekend. We just wanted to say thanks for the support James!

James Deane was left on the drivers list in a clerical error from Formula Drift. We have been told behind the scenes that James Deane will be returning to Las Vegas. It seems like they are going to dedicate this car to a west coast stint for the 2010 season. Be glad some of you kids looking for a Rookie of the Year title that James Deane cannot take it away from you. We cannot wait to see the tallest man in Ireland back in America for Las Vegas.
