Formula DRIFT, the leading international drifting organization, will conduct live drift demonstrations at the2015 SEMA Ignited event, taking place Friday, November 6, 3:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m., at the Las Vegas Convention Center Gold Lot.

SEMA Ignited is the official SEMA Show after-party, where consumers are invited to connect with Showgoers and vehicles from the premier automotive trade show in the world. While the four-day SEMA Show is a business event that is not open to the public, SEMA Ignited makes it possible for auto enthusiasts, fans and families to be a part of the SEMA Show excitement. The inaugural SEMA Ignited event that took place in 2014 featured nearly 500 one-of-a-kind, customized cars and trucks, as well as nationwide television taping, celebrities, entertainment, music, food and fun.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Formula D to bring SEMA Ignited attendees with first-class drifting demonstrations,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “Formula Drift brings a new and exciting element to an already great schedule of events.”

Seating will be available for spectators to view the drifting demonstrations, which will begin at 3:00 p.m. and continue until the close of the event at 10:00 p.m. Other activities and entertainment at SEMA Ignited include a unique collection of vehicles from the SEMA Show, celebrity appearances, music and more.

Gushi’s Second place finish pushed him into Second place overall in the Formula Drift Championship points standings, just behind Fredric Aasbo.

Though Gushi will need to qualify high in Irwindale and win the event to stand a solid fighting chance against Aasbo, we have seen stranger things happen at the House of Drift. Come October, it’s going to be a mad house and nail biting until the very end…
