I have to say I almost had a tear in my eye after this happened in the very early morning of our Meihan Day. This D-MAX S15 pushed a little too hard on one of his runs gaining too much angle on the transition into the corner causing him to wash out into the foam blocks through the concrete wall. It all happened so fast from a spectators point of view. The amount of debris that exploded into the air was unbelievable. There was a solid layer of dirt and dust not only me but all my camera gear. I was so glad to see the driver exit the vehicle safely. One thing I couldn’t get over is how fast the marshals and other drivers react when there is a situation just like this. In the second last photo you can see the amount of cars that came over to the sight to help out the driver and to get the car cleared in order to clean the track.

That is exactly why your a photographer and not a drifter. Close to tears LOL, thats funny. It’s a car and it’s drifting. It happens. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Seriously you need to quit dressing like a queer with the tight pants that aren’t even long enough and tuffen up.
One day, being the drift fan you claim to be, you will realise that the whole idea about drifting is about having fun, and wrecking a car is not the end of the world, we can re-shell the car (if chassis rail damage) and get back out there and keep having fun. Crying is for sissies, not drifters.

lol at tom being the fashion police, that’s queer in itself. Sure drifting is about fun, but no one enjoys trashing their car, particularly clean examples like this one. Fkn Hero!
