Yanina Alekseeva – Russian Drifter
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.

Report: Ducati sales up 68% in Q1
Ducati announced that its sales for the first quarter of 2011 outstripped last year by some 68 percent after three months of growth.
The sales growth so far has been nice, but Ducati doesn’t see them slowing for the rest of 2011, particularly with the Diavel due to hit showrooms at the end of March. With the help of updated models like the Monster 1100EVO and the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak Edition, maintaining those stellar sales numbers shouldn’t be an issue, and puts Ducati well on its way to reclaiming the numbers it enjoyed before the economic nose dive.
