Ryuji Miki’s Lexus SC430 Drift Car Now Available in Forza Motorsport 3
While the entire world is still holding their breath for an actual release of Gran Turismo 5, Microsoft’s Xbox 360’s motorsports entrant is still kicking strong.

SEMA’s Racers Against Street Racing Campaign Is Awesome
We at Autoguide strongly condemn street racing in principle, but even beyond that, driving on the track is like swallowing the blue pill from The Matrix. Once you’ve gotten a taste of what pushing your vehicle to the limit in a controlled environment is like, swerving through lanes and doing highway runs against your buddy…
Japanese Nissan Silvia S15 Receives Left Hand Drive Conversion
The Nissan Silvia S15 is probably second to the Skyline in vehicles we really want and will never get. The craze of outfitting S13s and S14s with the S15 front end has sort of subsided here, but there’s no mistaking how gorgeous the Silvia S15 is. Now it’s been a while since we spotted something…
Formula Drift Driver Chris Forsberg Takes Part in The Bro Show’s Latest Stunt
Product placement has always been a key part of any successful marketing and advertising campaigns. It all started with movies and television shows and now has even entered the realm of video games.

Nick Hogan’s Drifting Turns Drama, Involves Twitter and Poor Sportsmanship (yet again)
We know. You’re tired of hearing about this kid, but we can’t help it. It’s like a bad soap opera that continues to unfold and it just shows how little he’s learned. Sure he’s branded himself as part of this Keep It On The Track campaign, but his attitude and everything else is same ‘ol…

Vernal Equinox Video Provides Drifting Entertainment, Not Much Substance
We’d be kidding ourselves and the entire world when we say we watch videos on YouTube looking for substance or a plot. When it comes down to it, car videos are like porn for us. We don’t care about a story, we’re drooling over the action. Vernal Equinox is a fancy 12-minute flick by French…

Rogue Status are huge sponsors of Ken Gushi and Tanner Foust, both pilots of RWD Scion tCs in the Formula Drift series. So leave it to them to come up with the idea to build yet another RWD Scion, this time a Toyota Supra 2JZ-powered xB. Someone has to believe that not even the top…
2010 Gumball 3000 Pit Stop: Shannonville Motorsports Park
After crisscrossing Europe, flying over the Atlantic and racing from Boston to Quebec, the Gumball 3000 Rally made its way to Toronto yesterday, stopping mid-way for a pit-stop at Shannonville Motorsports Park. AutoGuide just so happened to drop in on this venue – which was far less glamorous than the 5-star accommodations, private parties and…
Hankook Nissan GT-R Finally Drifts, Will Compete this Weekend
It didn’t take long for this Formula Drift season to stir up some controversy. As we mentioned in our Formula DRIFT Long Beach Recap, the Hankook Nissan GT-R was noticeably missing from competition. We knew for a fact there was no way they would let that slide for another event, considering sitting out one event…
Drifting Gone Wrong: Camera Man Becomes Collateral Damage
Drifting is a dangerous sport, and not just for the drivers. Having photographed several drift events this author is well aware of the risks involved – I’ve have even had a few close calls, on one occasion a friend of mine pulling me away right as the vehicle struck the K-rail. At another event the…

All forms of motorsports – take note! Formula Drift, in association with YoParts.com has successfully launched the first ever full live streaming of their events to the world.

Girl Drifters Planning to Invade the Sport [with Video]
With this past weekend’s Formula Drift 2010 season opener in Long Beach, one thing was noticeably missing from the roster: a female driver. Years past, we have seen a couple of female entries including Yoshie and her S14. Popular magazines have done articles (more in mockery than in editorial) of import models learning how to…
Formula Drift Long Beach 2010: Energy Drinks Reign Supreme
Breaking into its seventh season, Formula DRIFT took to the Streets of Long Beach for its trademark season opener. This event is always a fan favorite being one of the only, if not the only, drift event that takes place on actual streets rather than a race track, course or parking lot. Many new cars…
2011 Ford Mustang GT to go Drifting as New Vaughn Gittin Jr. Ride
When spy photos first showed up on the Internet of Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s new 2011 drift Ford Mustang, many were curious on why it didn’t sport the atypical Falken Tire paint scheme. We knew he was out testing with the rest of the team, so it was clear that his “secret sponsor” would be huge…

We broke the news last month that Samuel Hübinette would be campaigning his own two-car drift team for 2010. His new 865-hp Dodge Challenger would be campaigned with his previous championship-winning Dodge Viper, now driven by Canadian rally-star Andrew Comrie-Picard. With Formula Drift Long Beach competition starting today, the new team was out testing at…
Rhys Millen Tests Hyundai Genesis Coupe Ahead of Formula Drift Season Opener [video]
Rhys Millen is no stranger to any form of motorsports. However, he is probably most well-known for his Red Bull stunts and his impressive drifting career. Hailing from New Zealand, Millen was one of the US pioneers of drifting, completely dominating its initial competitive seasons with his Pontiac GTO. He then moved onto the Pontiac…
Nick Hogan Back to Drifting; Say What?
Earlier this month we reported about Samuel Hubinette’s plans for 2010. What some may not remember is that merely three years ago, celebrity and son of Hulk Hogan, Nick Hogan, was actually competitively drifting alongside Samuel in a Dodge Viper SRT-10. Clearly the fame that came with Nick Hogan and fast cars wasn’t from his…
Samuel Hübinette to Field Two-Car Dodge-Sponsored Team in 2010 Formula DRIFT Season
2009 was an up-and-down year for Samuel Hübinette who has been a two-time Formula DRIFT champion and Hollywood stunt driver. Notorious for ripping it up in a Mopar-backed Viper SRT10 for many years and nicknamed The Crazy Swede by fellow competitors, Hübinette had a difficult start with his Mopar-backed Charger in 2009; and then mid-season…
Tanner Foust Drifts Mulholland Drive In NASCAR V8-Powered Scion tC [Video]
We’re not even sure why we’re writing any copy. The video and the headline say it all.
