As I’m one of the new faces in the team for 2012 I should introduce myself, right?

Well then, here we go! I’m Chris Meier, 24 years old and look somewhat like this:

Dates and location up to date so far

Thomas was unfortunately too busy to handle his foto friday this week so I though I just step in.
After hours of thinking on how I could get my Iphone in shape to make decent pictures I just decided on posting a selection of pictures I really like from the past.

First race I ever attended.
2006 Impreza Cup

A bit of history and some news:

As we are all getting ready for this new 2012 drifting season, I would like to share some news from the main French drifting series called Drift Challenge and yes not to confuse with the other cool event also called Drift Challenge. I understand that it can be confusing because both have the same name but it’s clear that one is in Germany (jawoll) and is once a year. The other is in France (ouais ouais) and is a series/championship. This is the one I will talk about.

Marco Bolognese from DritDrop Media provided us with his newest masterpiece. It’s the trailer / teaser from this years Drift Challenge!

Enjoy!

Last weekend was one of those very intense ones for the Speed Industries team.

We had cars competing at JDM Allstars in Anneau du Rhin, at the hillclimb in Reitnau and cars doing a drift demo at Reitnau.

The crowd at Anneau was once again BIG!

Marco from Dirtdrop Media has once again struck us with an inspiring movie! This is the spirit, the obsession and the madness we sometimes call drifting. We have one speed, one gear … GO!

and it gets even better! The mentalists over at Wheels Fest have prepared the latest trailer for the upcoming mega festival happening on the 18. – 19. June in Ligniéres! It shows off some footage of the fuel girls who will be coming over from the UK as the guest stars. Enjoy!

Don’t forget you can still win weekend passes for the Wheels Fest!

This flashback takes up back to the 2010 competition season of of the german drift series IDS. It is a warm-up for the coming IDS Round 2 which will take place again on exactly the same track on 12.06.2011. Don’t miss it!

The Team is already hyped up to seek & destroy the competition there!

A few members of both the Speed Industries Grip and the Drift team found together in Martin’s house for a nice BBQ session. Some impressions inside…
