NOTICE: I'm tired of getting hammered by the faceless inconsiderate masses out there who can't figure out how to rate-limit at a reasonable value. Bandwidth ain't free, y'know. If you want some of this stuff, drop me a line (I'm sure you can figure out a valid contact address) and I'll hook you up.

Some various videos and images I've collected on street racing, drifting and just plain going fast. Also some stuff on the Mazda RX-8 (which I would dearly love to own).

Note: some (maybe all?) files may require Windoze Media Player (although any somewhat recent version of mplayer will handle them). Sorry about that; I didn't make the videos, so I can't choose the format. If you can't stream these files, just right-click and "save as..."

Okay, here's the good stuff: the folowing 2 videos were filmed in Stockholm, Sweden, by some people with more cojones than common sense. The series is called "Getaway in Stockholm", and features some folks in highly modified street cars leading the Stockholm police on a wild-goose chase through the freeways and streets of Stockholm. Some totally amazing driving. The full videos are available from this site (I think; I don't read Swedish, so I'm not positive), which is apparently a major site for the street racing scene in Sweden. (NOTE: I later purchased the DVD containing both of the first two videos; apparently there were 2 more filmed later on featuring an NSX and a C5 Corvette.) See getawayinstockholm.com for purchase info. Thanks to Christian Veit (remove NOSPAM) for the tip.
