1st event in 2010
The Sport Auto Drift Challenge is the most famous and the biggest drift event in germany.
This year it was the first drift event for me in my drift car, and i was not able to test it before. I knew it will take some time to get used to the new gear ratios, but i didnt expect to have more problems.
The day before qualifying i had no handbrake and a stuck rear brake calipper. Luckily i managed to repair it in time, just to find out that my boost sensor is doing some strange things and it felt like i was missing about 100bhp. Not enough even the clutch started slipping in 4th gear after a hard clutch kick. The electrical problems could be solved with my mates Laptop.
All these little bugs became 1 big, and was out of training. qualyfied 19th out of 72. NOT statisfying to me.
here is a short video of some entrys i practiced:
VIDEO: practice run
pushing harder and harder and then too hard :) went a bit off the track and had a small impact.
the next day we had some Demo runs and some hours of practice. I was so happy to get proper track time, and the only reason why i left the car in slightly over 2 hours, was because i had to change the tires. Lots of practice laps later and i felt comfortable again.

HKS gearbox
some asked me to take a video of how the gearbox sounds and works. To be honest, the sound quality is poor, but it should be okay to see how it works.
im still running in the engine, so i was running a medium boost setting.
