We bumped into Eric O’Sullivan at the Formula D final at Irwindale, and when we heard about his F20-powered AE86, our ears perked up. A few months later, post SEMA and holiday rush, we finally got the chance to get the car photographed and sit down with Eric to talk about his car, and boy were we in for a treat! Hopefully, Eric will find a way to bring his car stateside and find a way to get into a Formula D event or two! Continue reading →

O’Sullivan Looks Towards 2012 Following Irwindale Exit

Posted on by

October 17, 2011 (Howell, NJ)  Irish drifting champion Eric O’Sullivan has vowed to return to 2012 Formula Drift competition with renewed ambition following an unexpexcted early exit from the season finale at Toyota Speedway Irwindale, California.

Following damage sustained to the Gardella Racing Mobil 1 Pontiac Solstice during the first qualification session, O’Sullivans efforts during his remaining pass of the course failed to reach the mark required for passage into the main competition on Saturday October 8th.

Greatly dissapppointed with the result, O’Sullivan was confined to spectating at the sell out finale and reflect on what was a challenging year for the 2009 Formula Drift rookie of the year.

“Irwindale Speedway will test every aspect of a car and driver,” explained O’Sullivan. “Unless you’re 100% comfortable and committed to the course, and with such an unbelievably strong grid of drivers, you can’t just expect to make the grade.  Today we fell short and the result is not a fair reflection of the efforts that we put in as a team during 2011.”

SHOWREEL MMXI | THE WARNING

Posted on by

Stephen Brooks dropped his “Showreel” this weekend, which touches on some of his works in and around the drifting circuits, & car shoots that he’s been attending. Stephen is a modern day visionary when it comes to filming drift, he has a knack for tapping into certain filming styles that we dont ordinarily see. We were lucky to have him at the Wall NJ event this summer with Gardella Racing, where he filmed what we would consider one of the most spectacular edits of 2011, “Drifting The Guantlet”
