Last season during Round 4: All In Wealth TV came to film an episode of their show focused on Formula DRIFT. The episode airs this Sunday March 7 at 7PM (EST). It will periodically air on their network, but be sure to check your local listings – More info HERE.
You can also watch part of the episode below.
Disc Brakes Australia Contingency Program for Formula DRIFT 2010
Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) would like to propose that for 2010 Formula DRIFT competitors this season, a $250.00 consolation prize for the driver/team that comes 33rd and does not qualify for the weekend of the Drift Event. We think that even though they have not had a great weekend, at least the money can help remove some of the disappointment of being last.
To be eligible the driver must have a DBA Sticker/Decal displayed on his vehicle.
A check will be presented after qualifying has been determined.
DBA looks forward to being part of this year’s Formula DRIFT Season.
On February 19, NOS Energy Drink filmed a commercial featuring ’09 Formula Drift Champion Chris Forsberg at Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, CA. The commercial, slated to begin airing later this month on select NASCAR broadcasts, also highlights Forsberg’s crew and Jarod DeAnda, the voice of Formula DRIFT. 2010 will be the second season of the Forsberg-NOS partnership. For more information including air-times and schedule please visit www.drinknos.com.
The long awaited game for Formula DRIFT has arrived on Wrecked Magazine. Once you register you become a Formula DRIFT general manager commanding a roster of four drivers. You can compete in public leagues where you can invite friends and have randomly assigned players join to fill the league. You can also run a private league which requires you to invite anyone you want to play into your game. So start a league with work, your drift buddies, or some degenerates from your favorite car forum and draft up for Long Beach!
The game will allow you to score one point for these 10 categories:
1.Top 32 (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It Into the Top 32 You Will Receive One Point)
2.Top 16 (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It Into the Top 16 You Will Receive One Point)
3.Top 8 (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It Into the Top 8 You Will Receive One Point)
4.Podium (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It On Podium You Will Receive One Point Regardless of what Place on the Podium)
5.Vehicle Malfunction (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your team has some sort of vehicle malfunction)
Example: This could be anything from blowing a transmission to not starting at the line.
6.Wreck Tow Off (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your team wrecks his car and must be towed off the course by a tow truck.)
7.Wreck Drive Off (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your team wrecks and is able to drive off on his own will.)
Example: For your driver to qualify into this category he must leave some parts on the track. No bumper taps will count here.
8.One More Time (One point will be rewarded to your team if every time a driver on your roster participates in a One More Time battle regardless of what round he is in.)
9.UnderDog (One point will be rewarded to your team if every time a driver on your roster wins a tandem round of drifting against someone who qualified better than him at the current event.)
10.Team Tire Podium (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your roster who shares a tire company with a driver on the podium.)
Example: Note that your own driver will not count for this. For example, if you have Michael Essa and he runs Maxxis Tires you will receive points at 2009 Irwindale Speedway Round 7 since Ryan Tuerck was on the podium.
