Ever since I started playing GT5 again (after a two year break) it’s pretty much like a new game. It came with drift mode, but sliding was almost impossible for me without spinning out. Jeff A (JA95sc3) of Nemesis and Battle Swing got me back in it. He and his crew (E, Marc, Gambino, Stoner,…
It’s early Saturday morning, and I am en-route to the shoot location and following my good buddy Hayden Gibbons 180SX on a trailer. It’s wide, agressive, and is one of those cars that right off the bat doesn’t care whether you love it or hate it. All this is made very apparent due to the…
For our friends outside of Australia, we Aussies have a habit of truncating words, hence ‘good day’ became ‘G’day’, ‘how are you going’ became ‘ha-ya-garn’ and on our day of national celebration, our beloved country is fondly referred to by many as ‘Straya’.

The lead up to these events have been pretty incredible, with non-stop updates from entrants and competitors as they prepared for the biggest weekend of drift all year at our local track, Queensland Raceway.
