Exotic Drift Sesh!
Yes, I’m a pretty lazy photographer. I haven’t taken any photos since the last drift day which was last year. I’m just holding off until I pick up my new camera so your going to have to settle for my GT5 photos! Here’s some of my new Maserati Gran Turismo, this car slides beautifully! Once I get my cockpit I’m going to do up some videos with it with actual decent editing. Stay tuned!
Drift Posse on Hector i gCeanada
One of the dopest things i’ve seen in a while! Hector i gCeanada was at Mosport while DMCC was in town. They met up with Canada’s best drift team, the Drift Posse! Pat’s interview is around 9-10 minutes in. The whole show was actually very interesting!

DriftOps October 9th Drift Day
This was a HUGE turn out! It was crazy! Not only was this day perfect but Pat Cyr also brought home the Championship at the Formula D Pro Am Competition!!!! This was by far the greatest day of the year. I was also able to get my drift cherry popped as well thanks to Peter Chrisikopoulos of the Drift Posse.
“I decided to mess around with new effects and what not, found a pretty cool tutorial on this. I’ll drop a link at the end”
“Getting lots of love from spectators as I go around with Peter. We hit about 200km/h on the straight, what up.”
“You can’t see the needle on the speedometer. That’s because it was spinning around, we were going atleast 6000km/h here.”
“It was my time for this to happen, I knew it would one day as I watched my friend Andrew endure the rocks and dirt at DMCC, My ear was actually cut open a bit.”
I focused a lot of my work on Peter’s car. He’s an amazing drifter who needs more credit. He was also nice enough to give me a ride for some in car shots, I had no idea what to take photos of so I just set my shutter speed to about 400 and just snapped anything. I really wasn’t even looking in the view finder a lot because of the helmet but I think I got some decent ones.
“Everyone was getting close to the wall on this last corner, I don’t know why. I know I’d crap my pants if I were them, that’s the corner of hell”
“We don’t know how this happened, A tire blew and we came back with the bumper dragging and missing part of the skirt.”
“My favorite shot of the event I got. I wished the car would of been a little bit more sharp but I still love it!”
“Battle scars, that’s all that’s needed to be said.”
Thanks to
- Wayne Lee
- Shannonville Raceway
- Peter Chrisikopoulos
- Everyone who let me use there helmet!

DMCC Mosport Photos
Hmmm, I suppose it would be appropriate to start off with a photo of Matt Waldin. Although, the Drift Posse might be a little upset, haha. Let’s begin!
“This spot I was in would only allow you to get decent photos of the straight and first corner otherwise your photos would be ruined by massive amounts of smoke on the second corner. It also gave a sweet downhill effect as well.“
“Finally some Posse photos! I got a laugh out of this one, always funny to see a bumper dragging behind a car.”
“Dave Briggs. Who can’t get enough of this guy? That’s all there is to say, Simply brilliant.”
“The god of drifting, Pat Cyr. Amazing angle from him. The grass was a bit wacko in this photo, reminds me of Shannonville’s grass. ALL BROWN…”
That’s all I’m putting up for now. Keep tabs on the DMCC Set on flickr.

Drift Posse Page Update
Got to love Quick Post!
There is a new page up here devoted to the Drift Posse! Check it out now!
Drift Mania Round 6 Results/Photo Teaser
DMCC Round 6 was my first big event I’ve shot at. I loved every second of it to! The energy felt good there as the day went on, not as big as the Quebec events but still makes you feel great. I met JAG for the first time to and he seemed really cool, haha. The set up of the track was perfect for media, there was so much freedom for photographers and filmmakers, some spots were kinda iffy to me though. The spot in the trees was only goo for the first corner and first straight at the top of the hill. Other than that your photos were smoke ruined. The last corner was sort of a low speed one, and by the time both cars reached there if they haven’t spun they were separated enough to ruin door to door pictures.
Round 6 Top 3
1. Marc Landreville
2. Bob Patinka
3. Claude Poirier
Matt Waldin could of place 3rd or still in 4th if his engine didn’t blow up.
Again, the Champion of DMCC was Matt Waldin leaving Pat Cyr to another Second Place finish. This is only pouring gas on the flame to let Sir Pat of Cyr burn higher. Next year will be his year!
Photo Teasers
For this to be as awesome as it is, please view the photos in the order I place them. Don’t be going crazy and getting excited.
This is my friend Andrew Gregg of Formula-21 Imaging, hes the one bent over really damn far.
Wait.. Andrew, look at the dirt! WATCH OUT!
OH NO! ANDREW! IT’s EVERYWHERE!
Where did he go? WHERE DID YOU GO!
Still working on photos at the moment!
Edit:
Keep watch on Cyrious Productions, Formula-21 Imaging and the Drift Posse!

Drift Mania Mosport Date Changed
I’m not sure if many of you have read but Drift Mania has rescheduled the Mosport event from Round 3 in July to Round 6 in September. The reason they have stated to do so was something along the lines of how great of a reputation Mosport has as an Ontario track and that they thought it would be an explosive event for the final round. I was told from someone that the real reason was because that Mosport demands they have a specific paved section to drift there which is not complete or won’t be untill at least September. According to Frank Mcguire this is what he had to say about it.
“Mosport is one of North America’s most prestigious motorsports facilities. We wanted to make sure that the Mosport round would be the
most exciting drift event, ever held in Canada!! By moving the Ontario round, to the end of what is sure
to be a wild and crazy event filled summer. We can use these other events, to better promote our
Ontario event, it’s a win win situation for all parties”
You can download the full PDF document at there Info site at http://info.dmccdrift.com/
Also don’t forget to check out there main site at http://ww2.dmccdrift.com/
So the new date for Round 3 is July 17th/18th at Circuit Icar in Mirabel Quebec. Round 6 is on September 18th/19th at Mosport Race Track in Bowmanville, Ontario.

Gumball 3000 Rides with Drift Mania!
So I’m sure all of you have heard of the Gumball 3000, and a majority Drift Mania depending on your origin. This was actually my very first shoot to and it went alright if I might say so myself. A ton of my photos were over exposed and got ruined in the editing process but some turned out okay during the edit. I want to thank Andrew Gregg for helping me out with everything! Now lets take a look at some of the photos.
“This is a Nissan Skyline R32. It is one of my favorite pictures I took at the event. The car stands out perfectly. I did make a mistake with not editing the plates though.”
“I can’t remember the name of this drifter but he was great on the skid pad in Shannonville. He had a beautiful sounding car as well. Just amazing to see in real life.”
“This picture I actually sent in to the local paper here. It is a Ferarri F430, and yes I did make it in there to! You can check my Flickr Account to paper.”
