Privateer: Taka & The Flying 86

Automotive short films are everywhere these days, but it’s not often we get to watch full-length documentaries about some of our favorite people in the scene. And when it comes to these personalities, it doesn’t get much more intriguing than Formula Drift veteran and AE86-driving icon Taka Aono. This hour-long production from Flying Boy Films gives us an in-depth look at Taka’s background, his early days in US drifting and his current efforts as a Formula Drift privateer. Few drivers are more respected in the paddock than Taka, and I think this video shows why.

We know there are going to be some heavy-duty builds debuting in Long Beach this weekend, but at the same time we always have love for the little guys. So spend some time watching this as the 2014 FD season kicks off.
