In the third week of September 2009, I hitched a ride along with good friends Markus Militzer and Oliver “Hesse James” Scheurich all the way to Krško in Slovenia for a drift weekend. Here is what followed.

I have deep respect for petrolheads like these. Driving 1000km, thrashing their car around a track shredding tires, then driving all the way back home again. What a bunch…

At the last and final round of International Drift Series, I asked my man Martin if he’d help me film some chase car shots, mostly because he is a photographer himself and has an eye for good composition, and also likewise the talent to point his GC8 the way he wants.

It was like having premium tickets to the show.
