Drift Matsuri is an event that began in Japan that embraces the grassroots nature of drifting. Any and everybody comes to drift in whatever rear wheel drive car that they can get a one day tag for. The casual atmosphere of Drift Matsuri cultivated the spectators wedge water bottles into the crash barriers and the drivers see if they can knock them out with the rear ends of their cars without crashing. Most of the cars are thrashed-within-an-inch-of-their-lives “drift missiles,” so the drivers don’t mind clipping the barriers in an attempt to improve their skills. The Drift Matsuri events continue to grow in their popularity simply because they’re a cheap and fun way to get better at drifting. The simple formula for success has even begun attracting drifters outside of Japan. Motorsports videographer Scott Mitchell brings us coverage of a recent Drift Matsuri event in Queensland, Australia. There’s some bad words and flipping of the bird, so the video gets a **NSFW**.

Here’s the latest from Australian videographer, Scott Mitchell. I need more beautiful Australian women in my life.

I’m always amazed at how the sport of drifting is able to attract highly talented photographers and video editors. Case in point: this is an amazingly executed video covering the first round of the Australian Drift Grand Prix that took place at Symmons Plains in Tasmania. The action and music are great and will have you smiling and enjoying yourself.
