Larry Chen asked me if I wanted to come to China to shoot the World Drift Series this year and at the time I was not sure if it would work with my schedule. When the end of October came around, Larry asked again and having just finished the Nissan social media project I was in need of a break – so I accepted his offer! After a 14 hour flight, I was in Asia for the first time and in the company of friends from Formula Drift.
Currently, I’ve traveled to 5/7 of the world’s continents. Which is astounding to me, because growing up I never imagined being a world traveler. Its something neat that has come with the many jobs I’ve done in the past 5 years!
China has not been as foreign to me as I expected – because I’m in the company of friends. English speaking friends who could make anywhere different feel familiar. Bicycles and scooters are easy means of transportation in the city.
Yellow Dragon stadium is an impressive place. Suspended between two towers. Its an unlikely place for a drift event as there is no pavement inside of the stadium. All of the asphalt had to be laid down over top of plywood.
More updates coming soon.
