Former Formula Drift driver Jodin Lejeune sold his Infiniti G35 drift machine to a customer in Europe recently. The JDM Garage Infiniti G35 is now white with blue accents. Sadly someone sent us these photos of how much the poor former Formula D car got smashed up recently at a local event out in Europe. Hopefully they can get the car back together quickly after this accident!
I cannot really tell you much about this accident because the image just popped into my Newsfeed without any description titled to the photo. This red S13 looks like it got away from the driver and connected to a light pole. The scene of this accident looks like Harrah’s Casino in Tunica, Mississippi. Judging by the massive amount of tire tracks in the back left corner of the image this happened at some sort of sanctioned event/demo. Regardless that is a tough hit and damage done to a good looking S13 hatchback.
Chris Forsberg Vs. Darren McNamara Insane 3rd Place Battle
Check out the insane tandem battle between Chris Forsberg and Darren McNamara for 3rd place at Formula Drift Irwindale. Darren McNamara crashes into Forsberg on the first lap and then both guys crash so hard on the second lap. Darren McNamara made contact hard enough to remove the rear bash bar off the Saturn Sky.

Jeremy Glover caught this amazing snapshot from Drift Mania Round 7 over the weekend of this Toyota Corolla driving/drifting on two wheels around the course. How it got in this position is beyond us but it looks damn impressive. This is our snap shot for Friday and we think you cannot find much better than this!
Found this snapshot on Facebook and it looks like Will Parsons got tagged and went for quite a ride after Dan Savage made contact with him in the Sikky S13. Will Parsons went airborne in his AE86 and flew off the track at XDC this weekend. What a ride he went on after they made contact.

Kyle Mohan Crashes Going Over 100mph Into Tire Wall at LVMS
This one is going to hurt as you sit and watch Kyle Mohan make contact at triple digit speeds (103mph was the estimation given by Formula Drift) as he contacted the wall in his Mazda Rx-8. As we reported yesterday Kyle was cleared by medical without problems and just some soreness from the wreck. This is the best angle you can find of his huge accident against Michael Essa in the Top 16.

Kyle Mohan rocketed into the tire barrier last night in one of the worst Formula D crashes I have seen in history (top four easily). Kyle checked into the hospital last night after feeling sore as a precaution but I spoke with his manager Efrain this morning and he was cleared from the hospital without an issues. He is just sore from the crash that happened in the Top 16 last night. He also confirmed with me that the car is not totaled and will be repairable for Irwindale Speedway in October. I bet the KMR team is glad we don’t have a September event! The car crashed due to a brake failure.
Emmanuel Armandio “Dio” made a bet in the Las Vegas heat and lost. During Thursday night practice he ended up taking Chris Forsbergs 2009 championship winning 350z hard into the wall. The front passenger side is pretty smashed in along with some minor body damage along the side. It seems a lot of peoples predictions about “dio” have come true. His buddy and fellow racer Charles Ng did tell us that Dio will be fixed and ready for today.
