Reuben’s Laurel is in rough shape after the damage. In this video, we break it down, assess what’s left, and decide the future of the build.
Yesterday was one of the hardest days we’ve had on the channel. Reuben was caught in a crash over the crest at Mondello, and his beloved C33 Laurel was destroyed. Thankfully, he’s okay, but the car is in a bad way.
This episode is a tribute to Laurel, to Reuben, and to the years of memories this car has given us all. We’re going to do everything we can to bring it back.
To help with the rebuild, we’ve launched a limited-run T-shirt and sticker. After covering production costs, all profits will be allocated toward getting the C33 back on its feet and straightened out. Link below for more
So since there is a nice gap in between the next Prodrift event, Mondello had another track day for drift practice, owners could pay 140 euros to drive on the track all day in pretty much whatever they choose. These days are just as if not more interesting then some of the professional events down to the fact that the track is a mix of Decent and learner driver’s so things can be very unpredictable. Most cars come home with at least one love tap or maybe two…
It was 5am on a Saturday morning and the phone was vibrating with a text from Martin Ffrench. Walking out of the house and seeing his Altezza all loaded up on the trailer looking gleaming and ready for action was enough to wake anyone up. The car was ready for the first round of Prodrift which was to be held in Ennis Co. Clare. Hopes of a dry weekend slowly started to fade as we made our way through the Tipperary countryside and darkness started to disappear and reveal some horrible Irish clouds . This was looking to be another typical weekend just like the one at Ennis back in 09. To our surprise we drove right through the rain and out the other side…. mother nature was down for some drifting on that weekend and gave us Ireland some of the best weather it could have ever asked for.
