Drifting’s been off the front pages for a while, the latest reports having more to do with turmoil than tire shredding. As with most things, though, just because it’s not headlining doesn’t mean it’s disappeared. NOS energy drink sent one of our favorite filmic chroniclers, Will Roegge, across the country to survey the drifting world. The result is a mini-documentary called Keep Drifting Fun.
And we do mean the word “documentary” – it’s 30 minutes long. Although there’s plenty of smoke and wall-kissing, its length gives us an opportunity to hear from drifters and organizers to find out what’s behind the sport, as well as their own motivations, where drifters come from and why they drift. It looks at venues beyond the track, like tree-lined back roads in Houston and alleys in late-night El Paso, and we dig that it starts off with the protagonists themselves admitting, “Drifitng is so stupid,” “It’s pointless,” and “When you boil it all down it’s pretty silly.”
The movie, on the other hand, isn’t. Scroll down to check it out.

Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg are confident that their Mercedes car will be well suited to the Monaco track as they aim for the team’s second win of the year. Although the outfit has only had one podium finish so far this year, both drivers believe that the low speed nature of the Monte Carlo track, allied to the demands on traction, should be good for their chances at Formula 1′s blue riband event. Rosberg said: “I have always been quick around the streets here, and I believe a good result is possible for us next weekend.

Renault Sport F1 managing director Jean-Francois Caubet has admitted that he didn’t expect the revived partnership with Williams to yield wins so quickly. Pastor Maldonado’s surprise victory in the Spanish Grand Prix came in only the fifth race since the Williams-Renault link-up was renewed and although Caubet was always confident that wins would come, he saw it as a longer-term project. “We thought we needed three years to win and after five races we did,” Caubet told AUTOSPORT

iSport International will build a new GP2 car for Jolyon Palmer after the Briton had another race weekend blighted by electrical problems in Spain. Palmer did not even make the start of race two at Barcelona on Sunday, after his car broke down on the warm-up lap with a repeat of electrical gremlins which have plagued the start of his 2012 season. iSport boss Paul Jackson revealed that the team will now switch to a new car for the next round of the series in Monaco.

Up and coming GP3 racer — and iRacer — Conor Daly, will get to enjoy his first taste of Formula One power this week when he gets behind the wheel of the VJM05 tomorrow. The 20-year-old American will help the team with its aero testing program, which takes place at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, England. Fresh from his race win during the opening round of the GP3 season at Circuit Catalunya last weekend, Conor visited the team’s Silverstone headquarters on Tuesday for a seat-fit and to familiarise himself with the systems on the car. It was a chance to meet his engineering crew and run through the functions on a Formula One steering wheel. The test program on Thursday is one of four full-size aerodynamic tests that teams are allowed [...]

Williams believes it has the pace to genuinely fight at the front of the Spanish Grand Prix – even though it concedes victory will be hard. Pastor Maldonado will start from pole position at the Circuit de Catalunya following Lewis Hamilton’s exclusion from qualifying. And with the Venezuelan having been strong throughout the Spanish weekend, chief operations engineer Mark Gillan believes that the team has the potential to keep up its good form in the race.

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has admitted that he should have told Lewis Hamilton to abandon his Spanish Grand Prix qualifying lap as soon as the team realised it had not put enough fuel in his car. A mistake in the garage prior to Hamilton’s final run in Q3 meant that the British driver did not have enough fuel to be able to complete an in-lap and provide a mandatory sample for the FIA
