What Is drifting? Drifting is a high skill level motorsport in which drivers control a car while it slides from side to side at high speed (approx. 80 to 100mph) through a fixed course. Many of us would be more familiar with Rallying and possibly to a lesser extent Formula1. Drifting is the most exciting moment of both rallying and Formula 1 replayed time and time again for the crowd. To describe drifting is difficult, although it’s often compared to surfing, ice-skating and skateboarding. Mainly because it’s an expression of skill by the driver with the car, not fastest lap or first past a point. To give a non descriptive version of drifting, it’s how much slip angle a driver can obtain, how long they hold it, and how close they stay to the racing line of the track. To give a descriptive version, drifting is a driver taking the car beyond it’s limits of grip, holding it at the biggest angle possible and keep doing it through a series of bends with the highest speed and best style. Drifting is a judged sport and is not a timed event.
Who is Team Skylinepart? Team Skylinepart is run and owned by Anthony ‘Scotty’ Scott. The team was setup in 2008 after a first year debut of the Skylinepart R34 Monster, which was at the time the most powerful drift car in the UK. Team Skylinepart is run on the back of Anthony’s hugely successful business Skylinepart.com which has the biggest collection of used Nissan Skyline parts in Europe. A hugely successful business which he has now turned to drifting to turn the Skylinepart Powerhouse into one of the most successful drift teams in the UK/Europe. Owner Driver - Anthony Scott Since Anthony started drifting he has gone from strength to strength. In only his third year of professional drifting he secured a podium place at round 3 of JDM Allstars at Lydden Hill. This past year has seen a lot of development of the S13 Chassis and for 2011 he will be focusing on podium and top 8 ranking scores. Team PR Manager - Emily Quarzi Emily is a very important part of the team, constantly updating Anthony’s profiles, media data collection and press release reports after events. With Emily’s strong background in journalism she has already secured some newspapers as media partners for the team. Team Photographer & Blog Writer - Andrew McCann Andy joined the team at the start of 2011. A highly skilled photo journalist with many contacts in the media world, Andy follows the team to most events shooting the action and reporting back to many high profile blog sites.
The Car
The Rocket Bunny body kit is a retro 70s/80s body kit from Japan. It was developed in Japan by Tra-Kyoto and quickly took huge worldwide publicity. To this day the Team Skylinepart car is the only car that adorns the body kit in the UK. Mix it with well matched graphics and paintwork and it’s easy to see why this stunning car is getting so much attention.
The car primarily started off as a Nissan S13 200SX, but that’s where everything changed. It was built in house at Skylinepart where it was stripped of everything and seam welded. A custom built in roll cage was installed to comply with JDM All-stars safety requirements.

It has been quoted as being the most photographed, blogged and talked about drift car in 2009/10. Our visit to Dubai in December 2010 with JDM Allstars was a great success. Motors TV covered the event with driver interviews and all the driving action. The TV show “Full Throttle Middle East” was aired across Europe thoughout December to a massive audience. Motors TV are to make another show this year covering our 2011 European tour. The car build and development is blogged on the Driftworks forum. This has attracted over 300,000 views and this figure is still climbing. The car has been featured on the Speedhunters website numerous times. Speedhunters is a global site owned by EA Games.
