Australian Drift - Toyo Series Round 1 Pictures

[aj510]

Hi Guys,

Thought i'd share a few pics from the australian drift series :)

(hope i'm not breaking any forum rules re posting links and/or images - so let me know if i am please)

Drift is still pretty small here in Australia and i've only just started getting right into it, but the talent is still awesome as you can see in the pics.

This particular event was held at Eastern Creek (in NSW).

It's actually based on an s13 silvia and the front of an R34 skyline has been grafted on upfront :shocked:

one of the things ireally love about drifting aside from the action is the cars - the dodgyness of repairs brings a huge smile to my face - :)

mate, they're pretty small in your state :-D get your facts right.

They are very influencing and is big down south :) especially in Mallala DA event.

Anyway, South Australia is the capital of Australian drifting scenes and the best drifter in Australia is from SA as well.

drift is tiny in Australia

how could anyone argue any different?

check out how low spectator numbers are or were you being facetious?

Check out Mallala Motorsport Park the next time you drop down south.

Like I said, different states in Australia is good at different things.

NSW is well known for performance and producing high powered engine such as those coming from CRD and QSR.

VIC is famous for their beauty contest and a little bit of power performance.

QLD is famous for producing big fat wide load cars which can go as well.

PA is a little more or less the same as VIC.

SA is a lot more into drift scenes. Most show cars here are even leaning towards the drift styling let alone the number of drifters from SA.

So of course, you cannot compare the local drift event with coutries such as Japan and the states, but comparing to the rest of the world, they aint a bad performer. It is the level of drift performance that matters, not the scene entirely.

Not forgetting that Mallala Motorsport Park will be and has already been regarded as the best drift tracks in the country no doubt about that. Awesome corner angle and aggresive driving is necessary.
