Hella Flush 3.5 with Calvin Wan
Watch this video featuring Calvin Wan along with a ton of other cars you will probably recognize from Hellaflush 3.5 team tandem drift event. The event was at Buttonwillow and featured teams of guys drifting it up around the Buttonwillow course which happens to be in the middle of no where. A great video production that has to be one of the best I have witnessed in quite a minute.

Joon Maeng Testing First Time Mazda Rx-8
Some video footage was located of Joon Maeng drifting it up in the Full Tilt Poker Mazda Rx-8. He is looking pretty good for his first time in this car. I spoke with him last night at a Mazda event where he told me the biggest difference in this car and his 240sx is the throttle modulation. When he could be driving his 240sx flat out the Rx-8 is more like 30% throttle. Sounds like quite the adjustment but he seems to be handling it well.

Stephan Verdier Crashes at Wall Speedway
Edit: Not sure where the text went to this post but here it goes!
Stephan Verdier came ripping into the bank a little too fast and wound up smashing his Subaru WRX into the wall hard. A+ for effort since he made an attempt to drive off with one of the most mangled suspensions you will see on a moving car.

If your a Netflix user I am sure you are familiar with the great Watch Instantly feature they now offer. Well On the Scene: Drift Battle was recently added to instant streaming feature from best we can tell giving all you drift fans a weekend treat. In fact, I am watching it right now as I type out this post with great flashbacks into the early days of drifting in America. The video clocks in at just over one hour and ten minutes. Remember you can send Neflix to your Xbox360 so you can watch this on your television. It’s worth a few minutes if you want to check out Formula Drift stars back in the day.I love the interview with Ross Petty that is truly a classic.
If your not a Netflix member you can always buy it from Wrecked Magazine: http://www.wreckedmagazine.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_72&products_id=256

2010 Taurus SHO Vs. Audi A6 with Tanner Foust
An interesting place for the Formula Drift champion/Supercars Exposed star to show up but we like it. He is walking us through the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO which is a twin turbo V6 package and apparently can beat the Audi A6 in a drag race. While I don’t think we will be seeing the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO on Supercars Exposed anytime it’s a pretty interesting Ford commercial featuring Tanner Foust.

Mad Mike Vs. Ryuji Miki at Formula Drift Thailand 2009
A possible 2010 Formula Drift preview features Ryuji Miki and Mad Mike. This tandem battle took place at the 2009 Formula Drift Thailand event and really had the crowd on their feet. This was the best run of the weekend we were told by several spectators who were at the event and the judges. The sound of Mad Mike’s four rotor Rx-8 will blow you away.

Just announced today on March 1st the live stream you saw at the 2009 SEMA show will be brought to the Formula Drift. The Live Stream will capture practice, qualifying and Top 32 of all seven events. This is huge for Fantasy Drift Pro Account holders since they have an extended trade deadline until qualifying. So if your not available in the local area of an event you can watch your drivers perform before making trades on the stream. The stream will also be embedded in your Fantasy Drift account if you have a Pro Account.
The top 16 will be running off live pack technology. “Live Pack Technology enables Formula DRIFT to do live remote coverage from anywhere on the track including in-pit, post-tandem battle, on-grid, and even live from the drivers’ seats.” The Live Stream will have mobile applications for the iPhone and Android for viewing. If you manage to miss the live feed regardless of mobile or on the web they will have an On Demand section to relive the segments from the event.

The engines will range from two diesel engines and one gas engine. There is a 3.0L turbo 6 cylinder gas engine rated at 304hp which isn’t anything to ignore.
