Meeting Adams Motorsports Park Team.

Hi buddy’s,

We are back today to gives you the best feedback ever at Adams Motorsports Park!
We went there on Thursday 8 of November, where we met the team for the first time.

First of all, we want to thanks the all Team of Adams Motorsports Park for being so kind and helpful with us.
Thanks to them we got real media passes to access the track and even get into the cars for a drift session (as passengers of course).

We got the chance to be so close to the cars and the drivers and shoot them straight from the track, which allowed us to get really good shots.

Unfortunately the weather was really bad, rainy and windy, but the drifting session wasn't canceled thankfully.
We'll probably have to get back there because the shoots we got are not really reflecting drifting. In fact, because the ground was so wet due to the rain, the cars were drifting so well but of course smoke wasn't coming out from the wheels, which killed a bit the spirit of the experience.
Anyway it was still amazing!

Alexis Ostrovick got the chance to get into one of the cars for 3 laps, the driver was pretty good at it and almost made Alexis throw is dinner away, but no worries guys, it didn't happen.

We were there from 6pm until 8pm. The drifting night basically ended at 10pm, but because the weather was so bad we had to pack our equipment and leave earlier.

Please visit Adams Motorsports Park Website for more information about them. They have awesome staff member and really good services. The prices are fair, as a foreigner, from France, I even think the prices are really cheap for what you get out of it!
Our Team definitely would recommend them to you.

What is our project about

Hi everyone,

We are the Driftprod Team composed of 6 international UCR students. The members are Alexis Ostrovick, Alexandre Collat, Jean Phillipe Carquet, Siva Sivanesan, Philipp Lomme and Thibault Torrecilla.

This project we'll talk about is part of our assignment for the Video production class of Ms. Kim "Kat" Shepherd. She is not only a teacher but a real coach from who we learned a lot about practicalities of video production. We would like to thanks her for her amazing job.

So, what is the project about? The class has been divided in different teams, each of the teams had to choose a subject and make a short video of 6 minutes about it. The video could be an interview, a presentation as a TV add, a documentary, whatever we felt like doing.

So, here we are, the Drifting Prod team decided to introduce you, public and readers, what Drifting is.
I'm pretty sure all of you have heard, at least once, about the movies Fast and Furious, in which bad asses drives tuning cars going crazy. When you see a lot of smoke coming from the tires, which is part of the drifting experience.
For the formal definition, here you the Wikipedia one :

  "Drifting is a driving where the driver intentionally over-steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner".

Our video will be documentary oriented. We want to show to the public what is drifting in real life, what are the risk, how to do that, the sensation it gives to the drivers...

In order to show you the best of it, we contacted Adams Motorsports Park Company in Riverside. They invited us as guest on their racing/drifting track during the drifting night’s shows, it allowed us to meet the drivers, try the cars, shoot the drifts and so on...

That's it for this post, we'll be back soon to give you a feedback about our experience at Adam's track.

Driftprod Team.
