This Old School Drift Legend Still Puts Your Driving to Shame
This Old School Drift Legend Still Puts Your Driving to Shame-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:11

Yasuyuki Kazama has taken the highest spot in professional drifting, a champion in D1GP in Japan all the way back in 2005. Now, put him on a frozen lake and expect shenanigans. (Also, expect a clinic in car control.)

The car chasing Kazama down is none other than fellow D1 legend Yoshinori Koguchi, with English-language guide riding shottie.

Old fans of Kazama would be less than surprised about his doors-open drift. This person who might otherwise be mistaken for a very serious driver who competes in a very serious series is probably better known for driving his car rodeo-style, half on the door, half out of the car. He did the back in the day, if that rings a bell.

Watch NoriYaro’s full video about getting his rather standard Toyota Mark II extremely sideways on the ice for the full perspective on the event.

I can’t promise that it won’t make you want to do more dumb shit in your car.

This 110 PSI Compound-Turbo Mitsubishi Eclipse Is a Fascinating Beast
For whatever reason, I have become quietly obsessed with the quickest four-cylinder drag car in the world, that runs 110 pounds of boost through a compound twin-turbo setup, producing about 500 horsepower per cylinder. It’s , but fascinating. It is rear-wheel drive, and the quickest four-cylinder in the world with...

Formula One Might Be For Sale Again
Formula One Might Be For Sale Again
Liberty Media purchased Formula One not even three years ago for $8 Billion, and they’ve got very little to show for it. Liberty’s goal was to increase online revenue, increase youth viewership, and attract new venues and sponsors. The company has effectively failed to accomplish any of those goals, and...

I went to the Rolex 24 for the first time last weekend. My fiancé and I drove all the way from Canada, pitched a tent, and slept in chilly weather for an entire weekend—and then drove home as soon as the race was finished so I could make it home...
