EDC / Time Attack 2007 is here





I was recently at the NEC in Birmingham for the Autosport International show, 1 of the biggest motorsport shows in the world where the European Drift Championship / Time Attack 2007 series were formally launched. EDC was formally known as D1GB and although the name may have changed,very little else has, the same with the Time Attack series. EDC had a stand with both drift and time attack cars there and there was a lot of interest in both series, particularly from the UK motorsport industry. I was there for Time Attack as I am the series official photographer, but ended up covering the event for EDC too as sadly the EDC photographer could not make it, so there was loads to see and take photos of

A few pics,it was a stuggle in the halls with the lighting but learned a lot about shooting in these conditions



Pink jacket,pink bag, pink........



Norris Designs Evo IX SWB. Very big power levels,very big turbo,very long spec list,very fast. If Satan modifed a car it would be a bit like this.........


In Satans corner we had the Norris Evo,but in Emperor Palpatines corner we find RC Developments new car,their Evo VI. Evo IX Mivec engine,rear mounted radiator,400kg lighter than their last car, loads of carbon and a big turbo. Let the fight begin......

SVA Imports Nissan 350Z drift car,with added turbo,rebored engine (3800cc) and rear mounted raid. Mark Luney aka Sidewaysbuff will drive this car in 2007, so hopefully some excellent results are in store. With a speical mention to the lovely Yokohama ladies


Overall view of the stand on Sunday with the Sumo Power 350Z after its clutch had died in the life action arena,of which Ill be talking about soon, so watch this space. A more indepth look at all the cars on the stand will hopefully follow also
