A new creation emerges - The old has passed away!
Complete Update Release Notes
Hello everyone, Matt here, thank you for your patience as we made these changes to the site, the update is live, but there might be some stability and performance issues as we scale from 2 testers to thousands of users putting our creation to the test.
I really hope you like what we have made.
I hope this makes your time spent on the site more enjoyable and easier to use, i wish that this encourages more connections and collaborations between our users. It's been a fantastic journey to support all of your talents so far.
My objective when first creating this site was to make it easier and faster to download all of the drift content you need in 1 location,
beyond that, i always wanted access to Competition tracks to see how i compared and stacked up to the competition, this is why there has always been a strong focus on working with and supporting drift competitions at VOSAN, we look to grow with these things still at the forefront, this update will help us to support these valuable community leaders better.
We now have a serious foundational structure to build our vision for the future, so expect continued updates with improvements, fixes and new features regularly!
To all of our PARTNERS, please gain access to your account and confirm you wish to continue your partnership with VOSAN by making your profile public in your user dashboard under the "Vosan Partnerships" tab, we're excited to continue our growth together!
A huge shout out to Nathan our website developer here, with a new born baby at the release of the last version of the site, it's been a very busy time for him whilst also working hard to learn and produce the best work he's created to date. I can't thank him enough for the hard work he's put into this.
We've learned a lot on this road and hope to continue to learn and grow with YOU.

I want to send a special thank you to YOU the users for your continued support and extend that thank you to our Partners who have been such a motivating factor during this journey so far.
Also again thank you for your patience during this transition, initially we thought all went way too smooth, and they did, that's why we had to encounter an issue haha But now we have resolved that, we look forward to a stable new site for you all to enjoy.
Go get some doors and shred some rubber!
