Typical Driftcar?

Check this out! This is an Mercedes W123 wagon -81 from Black smoke team Finland.

3.0 Litre diesel-engine with huge turbo. This car and the driver (Teemu Peltola) = insane.
For this year they are making the car even better. They are swapping the tremek manual gearbox for heavily modded automatic gearbox.  Cant wait to see that in action. Here is some videos of the car from last year.

Some WRC

One week and it will start! The rally of Portugal.
Will Loeb take this one too? I dont thinks so. The new Wrc Fiesta should be in a better tune now and Mikko Hirvonenen and JM Latvala should be in top of  the board. The rally of Portugal is really difficult for many drivers. Kimi Räikkönen is also been testin his car in portugal and seems quite confident for it- but dont expect anything special from him...

There will be new arrivals in the wrc series! Saab and Mini ! Its relly nice to see more than just ford and citröen there. Saab is coming in 2012 and Mini is allready there. Wonder how will they do...

This is the base for the new Saab WRC (SAAB 9-1) Looks ugly!

I love the Mini WRC

Summer is coming

Here in Finland there is still a lot of snow and all the fans of motorsports are waiting summer to come.
Sure you  can race on  ice or on the snow, but its definetly not the same.

In Finland we got quite a lot different type of series, people have built and upgraded their cars now and they are soon ready for action. For my self ill be following  drifting the most. There will be driven few drift series and the level of the drivers and the cars is truly amazing! I will get to that later...
I m really looking forward to the happenings of the  whole world. In Japan, the earthquake destoyed some famos drifttracks like the Ebishu but the the repairing is going on.
