Congrats to Chris Forsberg for winning the final round of the Formula Drift series. Foresburg burned rubber till the end and even caught a tire on fire. The exciting finale of the 2005 Season came to a closer with Rhys Millen winning the points race and crowning grand Champion for the ’05 series.

Formula Drift 2005 Irwindale Qualifying

Round 6 of the Formula Drift Finals was held at Irwindale Speedway aka “the House of Drift”. Once again a great day of drifting with tons of smoke and action. There was even an S14 that rode the wall and gave spectators crazy excitement. Our Driftvision S13 was able to qualify as Erik Jacobs drove hard against the competition to make the Top 32.

Formula Drift 2005 Houston – Day 1 Qualifying

Probably THE HOTTEST day of weather for qualifying and drifting ever. Houston had drivers crashing and even flipping cars, but the good spirit of all the drivers helped each other out when accidents did occur. A great day of qualifying as the drift machines fought the heat to survive while the drivers and teams put the vehicles to the test. Our Driftvision S13 sported new Bahama Blue paint under the Toyo Tires banner, which made the long haul from Atlanta with Finishline Motorsports. Check out the action and accidents from the day…
