Recently, Prodrift introduced a brand new battle format in Global Drifting at the Punchestown Racecourse, Ireland. The Battle of Nations promised to do away with the traditional Top 16 format and replace it with a concept that places the importance of a teams performance over that of any individual driver. Over the course of the day, 4 teams were invited to pilot the new format in advance of the Battle Of Nations rolling out a 2010 international battle royale. ...

After qualifying in the middle of the 40 car field at Irwindale Speedway, Fredric Aasbo and Team Japan Auto went up against Formula DRIFT senior and two times series champion Samuel Hübinette. For the first time in Formula DRIFT history two competitors of Nordic origin were to face each other in what was referred to as "the Battle of the Vikings" amongst the packed crowd at "the House of Drift". After two very close battles where the impact judge voted for a one more time due to the full-throttle runs from both drivers, Samuel Hübinette eventually got through. ...

That was the final event for this year and befittingly a little time for reflection. I personally believe that drifting is one of the absolute trickiest motorsports out there for drivers and judges alike. The drivers are out there putting their neck ...

- Jeg tror at nøglen til vores succes indtil videre har været at vi har en pålidelig bil platform. Så istedet for at skulle løse mekaniske problemer hen af vejen, har vi været istand til at tage derud, have det sjovt og fokusere på alle detaljerne der med tiden hjælper en til at blive bedre og det er egentlig pointen med drifting: At køre. After six consecutive wins, Team Japan Auto and Fredric Aasbo rank on top of all ...

What a weeekend! Round 3 went out with a huge bang under a sunny sky. Placed at the customs duty premises in Padborg, the scene was set for yet another flat out, action packed weekend. The track itself was one of the simplest designs that had been made so far, with the only very technical section being the entry into the big 180 degree right hand turn. The entry here was narrow and bounded on the far side by sharp and vertical ker ...

Latest news from us is not yet about the dates for our 2009 schedule, since we are still in negotiations with several authorities. I can though guarantee one thing though, and that is we will have some REALLY exciting locations ready for you.

This is mainly because Denmark has unfortunately evolved into a very strict and limited country when it comes to motorsport. Thi ...

Touge, a relatively new type of racing has come to Scandinavia. Drivers battle each other on tight, twisty mountainous roads. Due to the location of these types of races, they are typically extremely dangerous. Not surpisingly (if you read the title) touge hails from Japan. Touge doees not require that the rear car (usually 2 cars race each other) overtakes to win. Both cars stage a ra ...

Fredric Aasbo achieved a fantastisk result into the top 16!! In the 1st. lap of Top 32 Fredric is lead car, sending out his trademark tons of smoke on the track, with good angle in entry of the first corner. Marshall follows him leaving an open hole between the two cars. In the 2nd. lap of Top 32 Marshall starts with Fredric close behind. The entire lap round has Fredric absolutely nailed door to door with Marshall. Fredric doesn't attempt to overtake but let's Marshall know just who exactly is in control on this lap. Fredric continues through. In t ...

A boy stands at the edge of the crop fields looking at the empty areas. He looks on with satisfaction and notes to himself that they have succeeded yet again to get the years harvest in house. And that is all he has to worry about for now. Or is it? The boy knows that out on the other side of the treelines, where the wind plays a game of tag and catch with the leaves something bigger exists than the John Deere tractor being in need of maintenance. ...

Selected members from SD Series travelled to Ennis, Ireland as guests of Prodrift Series (http://www.prodriftseries.com) in July of 2008. This was, among other things, used as an educative travel to equip ourselves with the best possible tools to start the up-and-coming danish series. We want to ensure, that we don't isolate ourselves as danes from the rest of Europe with our cars, so they can also be used in other series, should the drivers to do so. We took notice (and notes) of the technical requirements to vehicles among amateur and professional racers. As a dane, it was interest ...
