Orlando, Florida - Robby Unser has announced his entrance into the world of drifting today by signing with FL-based team Enjuku Racing for their 2007 Formula D Championship Series participation.
As the youngest of the legendary Unser family and the first of which to enter Formula D, this marks an unprecedented milestone in professional drifting.
“I’m excited,� Robby said when asked about the team. “The Enjuku guys have a real good, clean team with good cars and good mechanics and I’m really looking forward to working with them.�
He continued, “I think drifting in general is growing very quickly right now, and personally I’m looking quite forward to it. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and an opportunity to do something different I’ve never done before. I’m real excited to see what’s going to happen.�
Robby was first introduced to drifting by his cousin Johnny Unser, and after a few trips to the events he was “hooked�.
Team owner Ken Harrison had similar feelings towards the addition of Mr. Unser. “We’re extremely excited about the opportunity to have Robby on our team. It’s a really big move for [drifting], and having any Unser in a seat, particularly our seat, is huge for everyone involved.�
