Head over to the Redbull USA website and watch Ryan Tuerck battle Rhys Millen around the Midtown area of Atlanta, Georgia. A promotion done days before Road Atlanta to hype up the event and give Kasim Reed (mayor of Atlanta) a ride. The guys flew up Peachtree Street drifting through the streets of Atlanta. Redbull in typical fashion did an awesome job at capturing the whole adventure on film which can be seen exclusively right now on their website.

According to the Speedhunters Facebook fan page D1GP has banned Naoki Nakamura from the D1GP series for an unstated or undisclosed amount of time. He is quite a fan favorite in the Silvia community and with Team Burst. The man who has piloted the KoyoRad S15 will no longer be welcome into the series that seems to be facing enough problems with the founders leaving and Yokohama Tires exit.

Risky Devil Street Drifting in Chicago

A quick film from Will Roegge highlighting the midwest local crew Risky Devil sliding around the city of Chicago. An amazing quality for a street drifting film which is not very common for non track activities. While it’s a quick one falling around the 90 second mark it will have you hooked.
