Straight-piped V8 Corvette race cars are truly loud vehicles, and the bokeh’ed child putting his hands over his ears in the background is strong testament.

What else can I say? “The red ones goes faster.”
Drifting at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends 2026
This post “does what it says on the tin,” as they say.
Let’s start with a pair of Mustangs from very different eras:
Followed by another drift car from Nappy Boy Automotive:
And finishing with a Nissan Silvia.
Three 3ers
A drift train of BMW 3ers (a.k.a. E36 3-series) at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends shows how differently similar starting points can evolve into wild performance vehicles.
#GRIDLIFE Corvette
Corvettes were unsurprisingly in abundance at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends, but the particular livery of this GT car combined perfectly with motion blurs.
Convenient Transportation?
Race-prepped cars are famously inconvenient modes of transportation, but when you need to get somewhere (with a folding chair) quickly, hanging from the door has a certain practicality.
Nissan Cloud
A black Nissan raising a huge cloud of white tire dust is already 80% of the way to being in black and white, so I finished the job.
(Mostly) Nissan Drift Pack
A pack of Japanese sports cars going sideways in a haze of tire smoke should best be described as “driftacular”.
Prepping the Camera Car
This Nissan was serving as a camera car, keeping pace behind drifters and recording their antics. Though those shots are dramatic, the most engaging to me is this one of the driver preparing and consulting with another member of her team before an upcoming run.
Green Out of Green
At #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends 2024, T-Pain drifted the Nappy Boy Automotive Nissan 240SX S14.
Chevy vs… Acura?
Though not perhaps the traditional matchup for either Chevrolet or Acura, this pair dueled through a #GRIDLIFE Touring Car race in a surprisingly even duel.
Watching Drifting from a Hill
Though the drifting was spectacular, the #GRIDLIFE spectators provided some fascinating compositions of their own. Standing atop this hill by a rally-specced Porsche, the crowd looks like generals overseeing a battlefield.
Drifting Audi
This was the full width of the drifting shot I captured of this Audi—so large, so fast, so drifty that it’s exploding out of the frame. Though I was originally going to delete the shot, there’s something about the “exit stage right” energy of the unintentional crop that I can’t ignore it.
Leave the Excavation to the Professionals
Drifting is an activity best left to professionals, but no professional is perfect—this BMW is doing some earth moving of its own in plain view of a true earthmover.
