Do you want to know what Formula Drift is?
Sunday, April 26, 2009
NBC LA aired this video yesterday in which FD director Jim Liaw explains what Formula D is. A lot of really nice clips from the track, for instance halfway in a neat clip of the two Swedes of Formula Drift doing tandem through the Shoreline Drive hairpin (me in the City Tire / Kallusive Clothing 350Z and Sam Hubinette in his Viper).
