first roll out of the new car :)

Sport Auto Drift Challenge is THE biggest german drift event every year. Luckily i just got my car ready in time to compete there.



the car was running awesome, felt a lot better than the old one, even though i was running less grippy tires in the front and more tire pressure in the rear than usual. The only technical Problem i had was a boost pipe coming off - nothing big for an entirely new build car :)




I managed to place myself in 10th position out of 75 drivers, wich was more than statisfying to me after a 11-month-break.



The TOP16 were held on another part of the track and i missed the practice due to the blown boost hose. I had to run agains Tim Tatje a pretty good driver from the Netherlands. It was a tight battle, nobody did a mistake, but he got the win for being more aggressive than me. He was!





a big thanks to Seifert-Performance for all the help and support - its so much fun, when you build a car and it just works!

here are some random laps in different cam positions:


see you soon!

the new colour is on

and its hard not to post pics because it looks HOT! :)

I´m pretty happy with the new design and can focus on the last steps in progress: suspension setup und road legalisation.

see you soon.

I hope i still know how to drift, hockenheim - the first proper roll out of the new car will be 11 month since i crashed my old car :-O

www.MartinReinsch.com is back :)

my old URL is back and im trying update this place here more often from now on ;)

tomorrow im going to choose a new colour as my old decition is already on too many cars over here :)

cant wait to see it when its ready.

final touches with the bodywork

in the last few weeks i did a lot of bodywork - its more work than i expected to be honest. But slowly it´s coming to an end.

the rocket bunny wing fits perfect. I was not shure about it, but now im loving it :)

a ne C/F hood and some new windows should be here within the next 2 weeks, and then im getting the car ready for its new colour in may. Its not gonna be the colour i have choosen first, because there are already too many cars in this colour around so im gonna go for something different.

project frankfurt ;)

it became quiet about the build of my new drift car since i came back from the states. The reason is simple, i moved to Frankfurt to start a new job.

The decition was done pretty spontanious and took a while to get it all sorted. Most of the work is done already and now i can start working on the new drift car again - but only on the weekends ;)



Frankfurt is awesome, too bad i can´t take all my cars with me right now.

i miss ´murrica

i hope you guys also had a good start in 2011!
Currently im pretty busy moving to frankfurt into a new flat right in the middle of the city *stoked*

My drift car is still sitting and waiting for light weight parts wich i have ordered 4 month ago :/

meanwhile i cant stop watching Alex´ supercool video of last years Driftoberfest @ Nashville super speedway. miss you guys ;)

what a FUN weekend @ the Int. Motor Show Luxembourg

Yves Faber, the 2010 IDS Champ invited Patrick "Patze" Ritzmann to the international motor show in Luxembourg.

I went with Patze and had a fun weekend, with some of the dutch drivers, i have´nt seen for a while and with no one less than Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his fiance Abigail.


The Show was totally different to the Car Shows in germany. Way more race car related and less fancy tuning cars. The Drift Show was very entertaining and the party on saturday night was simply mindblowing. Thanks to Yves for his hospitality and the invitation.

I definitely will be back ;)


the fun crew

new colour is sorted :)

but how to get it on the car?
wrap it in foil or get it painted?

if you have any ideas or tips please let me know.

the more southern part :)

on our 1000 miles trip we both got a bit sick of the air condition in our mercury grand marquis ls. so we decited to take a brake in a small hotel near charlotte after we drove thru the sehnandoah skyline drive.




the next day we arrived at Andy Sapp´s house. Still a bit exhausted but the weather in Atlanta was awesome - around 25°C.

Andy took us to Nashville Super Speedway for the Driftoberfest and the see some more of the crazy Team Rowdy guys.

I felt really bad at nashville, we had no sleep because we were driving thru the night and just arrived 1 hour before the gates opened. Still having a massiv flu i decited not to drive Andys car in this condition i was in.




thanks again to all the guys of Team Rowdy and especially to Andy and Lieze for their hospitality and for make us having an awesome time in Atlanta!
