Qualifying for the Redbull World Drift Championship was held in Long Beach today.

The first day of the Red Bull Drifting World Championship has been one of the most exciting events yet! The level of talent is extraordinary with the top drivers in the world competing at this inaugural event. The drivers faced a very fast track and a couple of drivers were forced to withdraw. Red Bull driver Rhys Millen clocking in over 100 mph entry speeds set the bar high and took the 1st qualifying position, even after tapping the wall and straightening out on his 2nd qualifying run.

Driftworks 2JZ 572bhp S15 Silvia First Drive. Silverstone.

Phil Morrison tests the brand new Japaneseusedcars.com sponsored Driftworks S15 Silvia at Silverstone, just 5 hours after completing mapping. With the boost controller off, this car makes 572bhp at 1.1bar. This is the first time the car has moved under it's own steam. We are extremely happy with the 'out of the box' result.

Car Of The Day Section reaches 50,000 page views

Japaneseusedcars.com have been members of the Driftworks forum for around 2 years and in March 2008 we introduced a Car Of The Day thread on the forum where we post up a car that is going through the Japanese Car Auctions on that particular day. To be eligible for the car of the day post the vehicle must either be a good spec, starting at a good price, looks the part or we think is worthy or interesting and most of all it must be suitable as a drift car.
This post reached 50,000 views at the end of October and has proved to be very popular among the members of Driftworks and it's visitors. check out the Car Of The Day thread here http://www.driftworks.com/forum/japaneseusedcars-com/54246-car-day.html and let us know what you think of the vehicles selling through the auctions here in Japan.

Japaneseusedcars.com European Drift Championship has 2 drivers enter the Redbull World Championship

We are pleased to announce that the Championship was formally invited to attend the one-off Red Bull World Drifting Championship and that the invitation was accepted. As a result, two EDC teams have secured a place within the event which takes place in Long Beach, California, USA on November 15th 2008 and will be joined by other drivers from around the world.
The teams and drivers which will be representing EDC are 2008 Champion Ben Broke Smith and 2008 Runner-up Tim Marshall. Ben will be piloting his Driftworks backed Toyota Chaser with Tim Marshall in the Apex Performance V8 Nissan Skyline machine.

Both vehicles their spares and equipment were shipped out of the UK a few weeks ago and are destined to arrive in the USA shortly before the event at which point they will be met with our operational staff and the teams.
On location in the USA, we are pleased to announce that our dear friends and EDC Championship sponsors HKS USA will be providing ground support for our teams in order to help us prepare for the event with both cars routed to HKS for storage prior to the event.

Andy Barnes comments
‘For some time we have been considering and investigating the possibility of attending the event on an official basis and we are pleased that we have been able to secure the necessary support and logistics to make this happen for both teams. Our participation in the event was not planned however we have been able to adapt our plans to facilitate the event in order that our guys are showcased in what is clearly an exciting opportunity on a global scale and an important message for Drifting as a whole.’

Japaneseusedcars.com sponsored driver wins the European Drift Championship

After an incredibly successful season, Driftworks Pro Driver and Sales Manager Ben Broke-Smith recently finished the Japaneseusedcars.com European Drift Championship in first place, with a clear 19point advantage. Once again giving Team Driftworks the title back from 2006, and firmly establishing us as THE team to beat in 2009.

Driving the 560bhp Driftworks Toyota Chaser, Ben lead the championship from round two at Knockhill in Scotland, to the final round in Poland.. With many top drivers and teams nipping at his heels for the lead in the championship, Ben kept a cool head, and the massive Driftworks JZX81 Chaser using the superb Federal tyres remained in the top spot.. At the final round in Poland we brought back the Driftworks Nissan Skyline for Ben to drive, as the Toyota Chaser was outbound for competition in the Red Bull Drift Challenge in the USA..
The Skyline now using our preferred Toyota JZ engine, gave Ben a bit jip to start with by deciding to blow up the weaker Nissan differential on the first run, and taking the clutch out with it.. But with the help of some of our good friends and competitors, he had it up and running again in no time. A real testament to the camaraderie found in the drifting scene. Driftworks Ltd would like to congratulate and thank our good friend, employee, and team member Ben Broke-Smith for his incredible dedication to this season of the European Drift Championship.
