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.
