Finland thanks you for the updates as well, we had a big crowd following the event even though it's past 1 AM already. Thanks again!

The first round of Finnish Pro Drifting Association's series took place last Saturday at Motopark in the eastern part of the country. The fast flowing 3rd and 4th gear track was a tough challenge for a season opener but the level of drifting was again better than ever before in the country and...

We had a season opening invitation based competition last weekend in Ahvenisto circuit. This was also the first D1 Underground event in Finland. Winner of his first pro event ever - Riku Ranne with his Cosworth powered Ford Escort Mk II. No-one could match his speed on the track even though...

Yup, not bad for someone just starting his second year of drifting and competing outside of Finland for the first time. :) Janne Leinonen placed 27th missing most of the practice day due to engine problems. Juha Rintanen broke his transmission on Friday and didn't get through to the main...

A grassroots practice day took place on Saturday. This dude just rented the go-kart track by himself and gave 20 drivers a full day of drifting for free! I thought the least I could do was to drive the 220 miles to the track and help out with marshaling and stuff. I also made pretty technical...

Thought I'd make a topic for all photo and video footage from the season 2009 in Finland. The first practice day already took place last weekend. Location: Joutsa, temperature: Less than 40 F. :D Pics: Vids: YouTube - Riku incar feat Harri Hokkanen YouTube -...

Here's some more with Kalisconcept guys' greetings to Finland and some other stuff I've filmed during our stay. Edited by Hannu :) YouTube - janne testing

Sorry it took so long folks, been busy trying to act like a tourist. :) Here's the first clip of Janne and Juan's tandem fun on Friday. The clip is viewable as HD in youtube. YouTube - Janne Leinonen vs Juan Henao tandem @ county line

Thanks everyone for a nice evening. Was my first time in an US drift event and I liked how everything rolled on organizing wise. These grassroots events are important to maintain the scene overall. Was nice meeting some of you guys, Juan, Eric, Bladder and others whose names I've forgotten...

Even though it was a pretty amusing read, looking at this whole conflict from the other side of the world it seems really odd to me that the Formula D management has got time to write this many novels on a damn internet forum this time of the year. The only thing I can make of it is that they're...

Here's some more Group B goodness for you :) 1983 WRC Rally of 1000 Lakes in Finland, part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-7Eryiy7BE& Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKDPhguJXiA& Tribute to the Audi Quattro S1: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yJjBzSKN7LE Some incar footage...

More awesome pics! http://jtmedia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Events/JoensuuCityDrifting2008/

IIRC they're from a '96 Mustang. I think it's cool as he's done something brave and different, S15 front ends are so 2006, they're everywhere. It's all about standing out from the masses. :)

Kaasu TV has just uploaded the most recent ones to Vimeo, no time limit there and decent quality as well: http://vimeo.com/user571803

Nothing yet, will post when they start coming up. The official video review by Kaasu TV might take a couple of weeks because we have round five on next weekend already.

Four events so far, with four different top qualifiers and four different winners. Unreal series, just plain unreal! Round four saw the day Harri Hokkanen in his black Jamppa's Motors Silvia S14 got all the pieces together and showed everyone how it's done on the most intimidating track so far...

FPDA took the Finnish Pro Drifting to the furthest north ever. Keminmaa in Lapland hosted the third competition of the 6-round series. The track was small but the action was close as ever with even a couple of small crashes in the tandems. http://www.vastaheitto.com/videot/keminmaafpda3.mov...

Opel Kadett C with a supercharged BMW M5 S38B36 engine. 2000 pounds and estimated 400 to 450 hp @ flywheel. :cool:

As Bill Sherman is just about to leave Florida for Finland to attend Round 2 on the 17th, the official video compilation of FPDA Round 1 is out! No subtitles as for now but the language of driving art is universal isn't it. :) Please download and comment. This was the first ever proper street...

Wow, what an awesome weekend! Winner of the competition and points leader after R1 is Juha Rintanen in his black 532bhp JDM Racing S14. He will be holding on to the edge of the NOPI wild card with both hands at round 2 in two weeks. Biggest surprises of the weekend were Petteri Törmänen in...
