Looks like we have some talented drifters and videographers here in North Carolina. Faction Media presents the Streetwise crew at the 2012 Formula D Pro-Am Round 4 at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
Meet the 1/5 scale tester of the DARPA Captive Air Amphibious Transport (CAAT). It’s designed to be a literally go anywhere vehicle that can provide relief supplies to disaster areas, kind of like the Gama Goat was intended to be. The difference here is that the CAAT seems to work way better being fast and unstoppable on land, water and everything in between. The BANGshift editor who posted this video thinks that “Captive Air” refers to the air trapped in the paddles of the treads. Seems to make sense to me. It’s one of those straight forward designs that makes you wonder why nobody thought of it before. It definitely adds another dimension to the Monster Tank story.
The guy who made the wonderful Golden Years of DTM video is back with a new DTM tribute that focuses on its emotion and intensity:
Here’s some leftover footage from this year’s 86 Day at Fuji Speedway by the same guy who brought us the Pit Walk video. 86 Day is observed every year on August 6th to celebrate the history of the Toyota AE86, a lightweight, rear wheel drive enthusiast car of legendary status in Japan. This year was a little different because the AE86’s were joined by the Toyota GT-86’s for the first time (that’s what the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ are called outside of the US). About 150 cars participated in the parade led by The Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya.
Amazingly talented Australian videographer, Scott Mitchell, put together this awesome recap of this year’s World Time Attack Challenge. His videos are always a joy to watch.
