During a recent appearance at IGN Live 2026, Kang sat down to break down some of the most iconic cinematic drifting moments in film history. According to the original report from IGN South Africa, the conversation offered a fascinating look at how real world car culture translates into entertainment, and what it takes to capture authentic vehicle handling on film.

For modern gamers who cut their teeth on classic arcade racers and modern open world car culture titles, seeing Kang continue to champion the automotive lifestyle is a welcome sight. Whether this new project eventually bridges into gaming collaborations or custom virtual vehicle drops remains to be seen, but any gearhead who spent countless hours tuning imports in virtual garages will definitely want to keep this one on their radar.
