Sometimes it’s interesting how things evolve. Looking back on the 2011 drift season with Team SI, many images flash trough the mind. Images of incredible battles and great memories that will stay with me forever. On the other hand however, some nightmarish thoughts return as well since my old green S14 was rumored to be cursed by gypsies.

Here’s some more sideways footage from an almost complete lap at Pouilly. This is a great drift track in France for those of you who don’t know it. We will be having many more track days there so get ready to rumble in 2012.
To note in video: The lines taken might not have been the best ones but that’s why we love drifting; it’s filled with improvisation and a little dirt drop at the end
