ABOUT FORMULA DRIFT. Entering its second season, Formula Drift, produced and wholly owned by Irvine, Calif.-based Formula Drift, Inc., continues to expand into new markets as the FOERST and only sanctioned and recognized North American professional drifting championship series (sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing). A well established sport in Japan for more than a decade, Formula Drift, Inc. and its sister company Slipstream Global Marketing, Inc. had the vision and were instrumental in bringing the FOERST official competition to the United States in 2003 at Irwindale Speedway. The unanticipated fan interest led to the rapid formation of the FOERST ever, sanctioned and recognized drifting circuit, Formula Drift, which had its roots firmly grounded in Southern California, a hotbed for incoming Japanese-influence automotive trends. An important part of the program involves community outreach. Drivers and Formula D serve as the ambassador for the sport of drifting bringing exhibitions to traditional or mainstream motor sports events across the country which has included: Bridgestone Monterey Grand Prix/Champ Car Race, USAC, NASCAR Busch North & Featherlite Southwest and the SPEED World Challenge, among others. Basic rules and information about Formula Drift, as well as a race schedule and ticket information, can be found at http://www.formulad.com when available.
