The cars have changed as well as the strategy. He made the right moves when it counted back then, and now he is gunning for his second Formula Drift Pro Championship title. used an open trailer with a borrowed truck to tow his S13 to these very events many years ago, is pretty amazing. No more driving to the track and home again afterwards in your competition car. With horsepower levels pushing four figures and proper race car suspension setups, these are not street cars anymore. The biggest difference of course, are the machines. The Ken Gushi of today would run circles around the Ken Gushi from 2004. Today, when I watch those videos from way back when, it’s really evident how different it is now.ĭriver skill has improved tenfold. I remember watching the first years of Formula Drift and D1GP thinking it was the coolest thing ever. What amazes me is how much the sport has evolved in just a few short years. Watching tire smoke billow out from under the wheel wells of these drift machines provides a spectacle unlike any other motorsport. In essence, Formula Drift is about one weekend of driving high power race cars with one purpose – to destroy tires and to make little puffy clouds in the process. I don’t see how naysayers fail to see the appeal of professional drifting. Would you go for a fast lap? What about burning some rubber? Or how about a massive tire shredding burnout, or even better – circle burners! And some power slides while you are at it? Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Then, imagine being given free reign on an open race track.
Picture for a moment that you have access to drive some of the most powerful race cars in the world.
