Formula DRIFT Hurricane Relief Charity Auction
Given the recent tragic events in our world with natural disasters, we have all found ourselves emotionally torn from the results and have in one way or another expressed a desire to help those affected. Therefore, we desire to increase our philanthropic involvement by leveraging the strong automotive and motorsport influence of Formula Drift; the drivers & team, the team & series sponsors, and the dedicated fans. How this will take place is Formula Drift will host an online auction beginning October 8, 2017 at 12:01am and ending October 15, 2017 at 11:59pm, the evening of the iconic final round and event of Formula Drift Irwindale; in which the final push for bids will be made via the live stream broadcast.

Deane x Więcek: All Or Nothing by Speedhunters
If there was one feeling that was prevalent in the Worthouse Drift Team before Texas last weekend, it was exhaustion.
This was the seventh round of the 2017 Formula Drift Pro Championship, and for the seventh time this season, the team congregated from around the world to come and do battle. Lots of air miles have been racked up by the team, and the drivers especially. This would be James Deane’s and Piotr Więcek’s 12th competitive event this year, spanning four countries, two continents, and not including demonstration runs.
At the previous round in Seattle, James had narrowly extended his championship points lead over Fredric Aasbø, whom he defeated in a thrilling final battle which required a One More Time before a winner could be decided. However, with a maximum haul of 107 points at each event and a 57-point lead, James’ advantage could easily be overcome should he suffer a shock defeat or non finish in Texas.
Any dreams of a championship win in his first full Formula Drift season were firmly at the back of his mind.
They say that ‘everything is bigger in Texas’, and they are not wrong. Host to this round of the championship was the 181,000-plus capacity Texas Motor Speedway. I’ve honestly never attended a venue so large in my life before; it took 20 minutes to just drive around the outside before finding the entrance. It’s breathtaking.
