Sport Auto Drift Challenge / Tuner GP

every year this is one of the biggest events. In 2009 it had nothing to do with the IDS and it was a "just for fun" event.

And thats what i had - fun.

we did single drift runs, twindrifting and drift trains - everything that is fun and the crow wanted to see.

and my favourite shot:

IDS rd. 3

was together with the famous Recaro Days at the nurburgring. Because i liked the track that much last year i was very excitd to got there again this year.

Some guys from the Moscow Drift Team came all the way - nearly 3000km - to drift with us.

And my car had boost and gearbox problems. The first "no contest" for me in 2009

Thats not all the bad news. I still had not seen only 1 cent from my main sponsor. some weeks later i found out that he went bankrupt with his company.

IDS rd. 2

was a Track i have never been to before - Oschersleben. The track layout was one of the trickyest i have ever driven, a very fast and very long left hand corner with 3 apexes. Entry speed was about 150 - 160 kph, and apex speed was around the 120kph mark.

I had so much fun in the practice and was raising the boost to 1,3 bar over the day.

qualifyed on place 6.



no twindrifting!
it started to rain during the qualification and the organisation decited not to run twinbattles because it was wet and slippery.
We all had to run a second qualifying again and these places counted.

I was so upset about this decision, that i was thinking of stopping driving there.
