Let’s rewind to a wet BBQ from a year ago. Despite the dreary weather, the turnout was fantastic.

The Coolest drift event outside of Japan: Final Bout

Part two of our Final bout photo dump consists of Saturday and Sunday of the event; I blended both days into the video we just did as it made for a better watch. I was surprised these videos didn’t do well on the channel, but what can you do? Either way, the drifting is nonstop all day Saturday and goes on into the night until about 11 PM, which is so cool.

Tunes are blaring through the system, and they have a best team drift event, followed by a tandem battle where the top guy battles against the Japanese driver over the ship. It’s such a cool even as you are also judged on the style of the car, which aids for points at the end of the day. Here is a sizable photo set from the two days of action. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions, drop a comment below. Cheers.

Here is a selection of photos we shot when we had Yuasa over a few weeks ago; it almost feels like an utterly surreal scenario, and editing these photos made me smile from ear to ear. I’m not saying too much here, as I spoke about it in great length in the YouTube videos we did on this, but I’m so happy this worked out. We made a friend for life out of this, which I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. From looking up to this guy as a teen to having him visit the shed and see Ireland and hear his stories, it’s truly something I’ll never forget. Please enjoy this photo dump from the trip below.
