The Formula Drift calendar might have come to a close for this season but in no way does that mean a shortage of cool videos or shots of the year’s action.
We’re pretty sure you’ve heard of tilt shift photography. Just in case you haven’t, it’s those pictures of real life scenes that look like they’re made from scale models.
There has been bucketloads of tilt shift shots of cars thus far, but as far as we can remember, none of a drifting event yet. Probably armed with that same lingering thought, MotorMavens lensman Joe Ayala used a tilt shift lens to shoot a stop-motion video of the Formula Drift round in Sonoma, California, a few months back.
The screen shot doesn’t even begin to do justice to the video. And if you’re just like us, you’d probably be imagining doing the same thing with your Hotwheels care when you were still a kid, minus the smoke from the tyres though.
