Nostalgic Sunday – 2007 Clipping Points: Realtime Racing / Pierre Kleinubing
After our last successful set of interviews for Honda Tuning magazine, the editors asked us to speak with SPEED World Challenge champion Pierre Kleinubing and his Realtime Racing team to find out about their jump into the world of drifting. We finally tracked him down shortly after SEMA, and discussed the development of the RealTime drift S2000, his 2006 drift season, plans for the upcoming season. Check out the feature in the May issue of w magazine.

It seems like people with short names get all the credit in the aftermarket car scene. What LJ, RJ, and Ron B are to the Honda and Acura emblems, Non is to Nissan. Back when the B-series motor was just starting to get popularity, Non was going SR. For his latest project with JP Aerodynamics and Enonvativ Force, Fujita went back to his roots – his K roots.
Nostalgic Sunday: Sam Hubinette’s Chargers – 2007
After spending all day today and part of yesterday with the Mopar Drift Dodge Charger. I felt it was appropriate to revisit with the chargers for all that had missed it the first time we had it up on the front page or just wanna get a 2nd look at the beast I got to learn the inside and outside of while being at the DUB Car Show representing for Fromula Drift.

Sam Hubinette has been dominant in Formula D, driving 2 different MOPAR vipers to series championships. However, with Mopar’s re-introduction of the Charger, the powers that be decided that Sam should probably jump into this elongated, heavy chassis and make it into a drift car. While the battle to make this bloated detroit muscle has been long, the car is now ready for battle. Continue reading

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
Nostalgic Sunday: 2008 Formula Drift – Singapore: A Fan’s Perspective
Photos and Story by Anna Nguyen
I remember the first time I acquainted myself with the art of drifting. It was at a Drift Day event, when drifting was relatively new in America. I remember standing out in the middle of spacious lot that was only occupied by a handful of cars. Normally, one unfamiliar to drifting would find nothing glamorous about the burning-rubber smell and getting debris—mixed with track rubble and tires—all over herself, but once you witness the art itself … I was amazed to see a car even being able to maneuver like that: sliding to one side while swinging the back end of the car from the other side at such a tight angle. Then seeing the process repeated in continuance in different directions and forms. Though it was a setting for amateur and professional drivers alike, I began appreciating the art in isolation, regardless of skill. Continue reading
