Rip Rip

Still getting the slide on.

Side by Side, Switch Switch Slide.

Lots of fun, close action.

The Lexus still working.

Sometime Solo

Sometimes Sandwich

Swapping Spots

Go for the targets.

Right where I wanted the in clip.

Two very different but very similar S13s

One a little shinier than the other.

Slowly completing.

HULK SMASH!!!

Can you see the mirrors.

GCRC Last Sturday - Part #3 Battles Galore

GCRC Battle Style... 

CS, RWD and 50:50 ... Anything goes.

Big trucks

Big Men.

Skyline Style.

And more.

3 shot RWD sequence... very high speed entries.

DRB-REW and DP

When you get it right, there's a huge grin! And the challenge to do it again.

Sometimes, not quite right. But the traffic has a lot to do with the right entry point.

Youth and experience.

Yokomo devoteeeeeee.

D-Like RE-R getting the angles.

4 Door Low Stlye

Meets 2 door low style --- not so scraping.

and lifting on castor angle.

Still looks good slicing past the trees

Carry the angle.

JXR RWD double

Was this too much? I'd say yes.

But definitely not too much fun.

Beginner 50:50 style

to expert CS and RWD

GCRC has been a wonderful venue that has seen regulars and newcomers having fun.

That's what makes GCRC so awesome!

GCRC Mahem #Part 1

GCRC Visitors Rocking hard.

Nascar V8 powered Silvias used to be all the rage. Now it seems they don't have enough.

How quickly things evolve.

Castor and Ackerman. If you don't know much about these terms and you are interested in RWD, best to start to read a bit. 

Because finding that perfect setting can make life a whole lot easier. 

Sakura Style.

And a few more...

In the hunt!

GCRC S-FESTA Twin Drift Competition

These days to take out the twin drift comp at GCRC, you have to display all the elements of drift.
 

That means spending a lot of time door to door and having equal setups.
 

While there were some new pairings on the day. Its good to get experience.

Because you will end up on film.

These two unique machines were looking awesome. 

I threw the GCRC boss and a young gun together. But I forgot that one machine was RWD and the other CS.

At times they had it all going really well, 

But small mistakes ruling out the win.

Outright speed difference is hard to manage.

 These two are regularly drifting together. RWD and 50:50 combo.

Again showing some excellent corners.

but ultimate speed differences again spoiling some great runs.

These two machines were well matched. Their warm up lap was awesome. 

But the pressure of twin drift means that complete one lap attack must be perfect.

These two RWD machines suffered the mismatch of speed too.

Unfortunately, we are finding that the single tyre compound we use for a control tyre OOSpeed CR-1 can be super fast or a bit off the pace. Nothing to do with setup here.

The same car can be transformed by the same "spec" tyre.

Sneaking into view... Unfortunately I bumped the dial on my camera and took a batch of images that were way too dark.

My apologies, 

But i managed to same some of them in post processing.

Because they should look like this!!!

Super Slash. These two thrown together at the last minute too. More side by side would bring the rewards.

on film and looking good.

No Shots of my laps thank god!!! We were terrible. 

These two guys battle together a lot. CS and RWD.

 Because they know each others strengths they can get into position and still manage the gaps pretty well.

Looking good.

Remember the carpark scene from F&F Tokyo Drift. This one has a better driver.

So that leaves two teams. These two guys you would have seen a number of times. I think they have glue on their cars.

Pretty inseparable. 

Only a couple of very minor errors swaying the voters.

These two were on it!

Father-son team driving their own design custom "Driftline" RWD chassis.
 

Identical setups gives you a definite advantage but they still need to be driven.

 And driven they were... to the top spot.

Congrats to all entrants.

It was fun. Competition is very different to just driving around. This format allows a bit of comfort and the ability to show off your skills.

Love the twin drift!
