Drift Scion tC

The Scion tC might not seem like the ideal drifting car, but with 400 horsepower and a rear wheel drive conversion, I’m sure Ken Gushi will make do.

The car, modified by RS*R, will debut at this weekend’s Formula Drift, and features a BEAMS-built 32-GE engine, an HKS GT3037 turbo, an intercooler, and a Blitz and AEM engine management system.

Additional mods include a G-Force five-speed, coilovers, and a custom wide-body kit.

I can’t wait to see it in person, but even in these pictures, it looks like one angry Scion.

Formula Drift

With the D1 Grand Prix no longer making its way to the states, Formula Drift has become the number one way to get your drifting fix.

That’s no big loss though, because Formula Drift has become a terrific series of events at premiere racing venues across the country.

Formula Drift Schedule

On April 12, the series kicks off in Long Beach, and then seven events later, concludes at the Irwindale Speedway. Last year, I covered the finals in Irwindale, and from first hand experience, I can definitely say that this are must see events.

Special appearances at the Long Beach event include Rob Dyrdek of “Rob & Big” fame as the Official Grand Marshall of the Formula Drift series, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, and the introduction of the new Miss Formula Drift.

DYH will be there to cover the event for you, so look for an upcoming post with all the details.

On Saturday, I had the chance to go and see Formula D’s “The Finals” at Irwindale Speedway (yes, I did get stuck on Interstate 5 on the way down from San Francisco due to that massive accident), and I must say, if you’re at all a fan of the four wheeled machine, make sure you check out one of Formula Drift’s events at a track near you.

Pontiac Solstice

If you’re not familiar with the sport, think of drifting as two automotive ballerinas battling it out in a boxing match. It’s gracefully controlled mayhem, and in my opinion, it’s easily the best form of four-wheeled entertainment on the planet.

Quick Update: Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend. I was down in Irwindale, CA to cover the Formula Drift finals (look for the post this Tuesday) and didn’t have access to the Internet. Everything will return to normal on Monday though, so no need to worry; I’ll be back.
