Team Speed‘s Five Auto Influencers You Should Be Watching

Taylor Ray

Keeping it in Florida, Taylor Ray is making some of the best drift videos on YouTube, straight from the Panhandle. While it isn’t hard to find drift vids all over the Internet, Ray’ clips show a very real, relatable side to the sport. There are glorious drifts, yes. But there are also engine failures, crashes, late-night wrenching sessions, and plenty of pranks thrown in for good measure. Want to see a Miata run on Everclear? What happens when oil is replaced with syrup? For an inside look at the good times, hard times, and jokes that make wrenching worthwhile, check out his YouTube channel. Even if drifting isn’t your thing, it’s hard not to enjoy these videos.
