Round 1 Qualifying Highlights
Behind the Scenes at Formula DRIFT Tech Day
Today Formula DRIFT held their annual Tech Day at Source Interlink’s office in Irvine, CA. Many competition vehicles were previewed to the fans that attended as they received their tech inspection before the start of the season. Formula DRIFT champion Dai Yoshihara also made a brief appearance and will be selecting a car from the collection of fan vehicles to receive his signature series wheel. One highlight was the much anticipated preview of Daigo Saito’s Lexus SC430. The excitement for the season opener is growing as we get closer to Round 1: Streets of Long Beach on April 6-7. Be sure to purchase your tickets before they sell out.
