RESULTS FROM FD PRO SEEDING BRACKET

2. Adam LZ (USA) – LZMFG E36 BMW
3. Dmitriy Britskiy – Never Settle E46 BMW
NOTES
- The track at Orlando Speed World follows a figure-8 course on the banked oval
- The track was dry for the K&N PRO Seeding Bracket, which took place in the evening, requiring all FD PRO cars to use Type S undercar lighting
- With the Top 24 competition places determined by the results from Round 2, positions 25-32 would be decided by competitive tandem runs in the Seeding Bracket. The top eight finishers would advance to Saturday’s competition heats, while the bottom five were eliminated
- BMW drivers dominated the Seeding Bracket, claiming the top three positions
- As the winner, Shanahan qualified 25th. The 2023 Drift Masters Champion will meet Dan Burkett (USA) in the Top 32 competition heats tomorrow
- Shanahan defeated LZ in an incredibly close Seeding Bracket Final, which saw both drivers achieve infeasible proximity to each other’s cars. LZ will be paired with Forrest Wang (USA) in the Top 32
- Third place Brutskiy will face Matt Field (USA)
- Reigning Formula DRIFT PROSPEC Champ Ben Hobson (USA) failed to break out of the Seeding Bracket for the third time in his Pennzoil / BC Racing Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD, continuing his incredibly frustrating season
- The eliminated drivers were Hobson, Federico Sceriffo (Italy), Joao Barion (Brazil), Kyle Kohan (USA) and Mike Power (USA)
