Kansai All Star Drifting 2010 Video

Crazy tandem drift action from Japan

Kansai All Star Drifting 2010 Video

The absolute coolest part about drifting is when more than one vehicle hits the track at the same time, executing some sideways action in tandem.  Even better is when it's more than two vehicles at the same time...or three...or more!  Kansai All Star Drift GP is one of those events on a tight track where some of Japan's best drifters go all out, all at once.  Sit back and relax and enjoy 10 minutes of some of the most exciting drifting action you'll ever catch, unless you're there live.

Video is available after the break.

Mopar Announces Pulling Out of Drifting

Decision is part of Chrysler LLC’s comprehensive restructuring plan

Mopar Announces Pulling Out of Drifting

In a surprising (or not so surprising) turn of events, Mopar has announced that their sponsorship for Samuel Hubinette and NuFormz drifting program will be discontinued after the June 5-6th Formula DRIFT New Jersey event.  Whether or not this is a result of the economy can't be said, though it would seem that all factors points towards that reasoning.  It is interesting however that Hubinette and the NuFormz team has been unable to bring out the new competition Dodge Charger and Hubinette is in the Viper of old.  Regardless, with a talented driver such as Hubinette and a team ran by Shaun Carlson it will just be a matter of time before Hubinette picks up a new OE sponsor.  Could we see him switching vehicles entirely by mid-season?  Things just got more interesting in the drifting world.  The full and official release after the jump.
