Nopi Drift Series is Canceled

The Wrecked Magazine blog has reported that the Nopi Drift series is no more. Read NOPI Drift is no more!. I am a bit sad to see another American drifting series fall apart, as it offered a forum for up and coming drivers to build the skills and sponsorship packages needed to compete at a […]

Formula D Top Ten After Las Vegas

After McNamara, Gittin, and Grunewald all failed to join the Top 16 at the Las Vegas round, the points spread in the Top 10 spots is starting to widen a bit. Fortunately for our fallen heroes, newcomers Yoshioka, Kondo, and Orido managed to snatch a significant amount of Championship points and prevent any significant movement […]

Forsberg and Hubinette Tied for First after Atlanta

If you have been watching Formula D for the last two of years you just might know that the leader after Atlanta has gone on to take the entire series both years. This year things are a bit more interesting as the field is much tighter at that top. The top 10 drivers only represent a spread of 52 championship points, compared to 78 points in 2007 and 127 in 2006.

With 6 podium finishers so far this year (Millen, Taketori, Tureck, Forsberg, Hubinette, Tureck) nobody has yet to stand on the podium for more then a single event. With the next two events happening at tracks that are being introduced this year (Englishtown and Las Vegas Motor Speedway), this season could shape up to be the most competitive yet.

As the 2005 and 2004 seasons did not include the Long Beach event, I have not included them here in my list. You can find all of the scores that I have maintained over the last 4 seasons on the Formula Drift Scores Page.

Enjoy!

DriftLive.com, What happened to the Event Scores?

Over the last two years I have come to the realization that the success and growth of drifting is not based on scores and rankings. In fact, a concentration on scores and rankings may cause potential fans of the sport to miss out on what makes it so great.

D1GP USA, under Fire Again?

the content, driving skill and overall entertainment level that is prevalent in the D1 series is beyond anything in the world and we find this to be a horribly underutilized resource. Even though there are other successful drifting properties in this market, D1 should, under ideal circumstances, be the ambassador of the sport to the world.

Forza 2 Drifting Sucks at Drifting

Turn 10’s multi-million dollar franchise got plenty right but, fails to deliver a driving experience that is enjoyable for noobs OR veterans and completely falls on it’s face when it’s time to get your slide on.
