Paul Dallenbach – Leadfoot Festival.

By GT

The Leadfoot Festival was an event put on by racing great Rod Millen, celebrating his 60th Birthday. I was honored to be invited to run my back up hill climb open wheeler, the one Wally Jr won in back
in 2006. I won the Goodwood Festival in class and 3rd overall back in 2007. The Road was built on Millen’s property in New Zealand. Rod raced his Pikes Peak Celica and set the fastest time, with me and 3 other cars 1.5 seconds back, all covered by .3 seconds. Rhys Millen, Andrew Hawkeswood and myself had a great dual but it was all for fun and laughed about it over beer after. I can’t wait to get testing for Pikes Peak in a few weeks! Paul Dallenbach

Yanina Alekseeva – Russian Drifter

By GT

Off-seasons drift training video with Yanina Alekseeva + RDS (Russian Drift Series) 2010 flashbacks.
In the season RDS 2010 was attended by three girls: Yanina Alekseeva, Olga Morozova (Silvia S15) and Oksana Furmanchuk (Silvia S15). Yanina became the best in “Women’s standings” (In RDS girls perform equally with men). She managed to go twice in the Top 16 in total, with 8 points, and ahead of not only the other girls, but many men who participated in the RDS. And semi-stock ECR33 was able to compete against more powerful cars.
The main thing that Yanina constantly trained, gain experience and improving their driving technique. We hope that the season RDS 2011 Yanina improve their statistics, as well as visit the drifting competitions in Finland, Ukraine, and Eastern Siberia.
Now car is preparing to get a new engine: V8 LS2.
