Formula Drift Atlanta | Day 1 Round 2 – Road to the Championship Photography by Emil Garcia As most racing events go, each track in a series offers new challenges and new opportunities. After an exciting Round 1 at Long Beach, Formula Drift continued their series into Atlanta. Road Atlanta has been on the FD schedule close to a decade and proves to be one of my top three tracks for FD. Day 1 starts with practice, shake downs, and some tuning. The guys fought it out to see who takes the Top 32 into competition day and the qualifying round becomes a battlefield. Some of our hometown drivers did not make the cut this round, surprising...

And So It Begins Formula Drift Round 1, Streets of Long Beach Photography by Joseph Ginzburg Maybe I’m just crazy, but to me there is something magical about opening day of a new season of any motorsports series.  Formula Drift is no different. Since the close of 2011 I’ve been awaiting the 2012 season of FD; waiting to see the returning drivers, the new cars, and the buzz around the newest drivers; 19 new drivers (the largest rookie field in the series according to John Pangilinan). Everyone with the same hopes for series champion. Stepping into that energy is just amazing; the excitement, unexplainable. There were some...

Amongst the crowd of Illest fans was Walker Wilkerson, Formula Drift driver for the Fatlace S13. Local DJ Resident SERTS spun ’till the we hours. ...

The Irwindale Flag at Half Mast Irwindale Cancels All 2012 Events Irwindale Speedway has been the home to many events for the past 12 years. One of the most recognized of those events being NASCAR, and of course our favorite being Formula Drift. Even our very own Editor-in-chief, Leo Diaz, has memories there; seeing history take place as the very first US D1 event was held there. Throughout the years the track has seen its series of rough patches, however this most recent rough patch has led the track owners to release a press release stating the current cancelation of all major motoring events for the 2012 calendar year. This may come as...

New Zealand Goes Sideways D1 Round 2 | Pukekohe Park Raceway, New Zealand Photos by Jamie Walker Just in case you haven’t noticed, over the last 11 years drifting has grown far beyond what most expected. From its grassroots days in the back-streets of Japan, to professional racing sanctions at some of the world’s most renowned tracks. It has literally taken the world by storm. Keiichi Tsuchiya wanted to bring this adrenaline filled artistry to the masses; and with the help of his creation D1GP along with other professional sanctions such as Formula Drift, that was realized. It wasn’t soon after that amateur and grassroots...

Before we bombard you with wave after wave of awesome SEMA posts I thought it would be nice to put up some extra pictures from Formula D Irwindale. ...

Formula Drift 2011 This 2011 season of Formula Drift has been to me the most exciting to date. Becoming a media sponsor for the series was extremely exciting for us here at State of Stance, as we have watched this series grow from its roots to a full-fledged professional racing sanction. Ryan Sage and Jim Liaw along with their team have dedicated numerous amounts of time and effort to make sure that each season is even better than the last. Founded in 2003 as a sister company to Slipstream Global Marketing, the same partnership that brought D1 Grand Prix to the United States, Formula Drift Holdings has kept our automotive passion alive by...

We’ve had the amazing opportunity to be a Media Sponsor for Formula Drift’s 2011 season. It has been an unforgettable experience and has given me the chance to meet some of the coolest people in our industry and around the globe. This last event was different, its been a very long time since I have had a camera in my hands and even longer since I’ve done so for motorsports. Considering I’ve spent the last year behind a computer looking at code, writing articles, sending emails and packing and unpacking booths; the best parts of this last year have been meeting so many of you, either at events or at our booths....

When Formula D came to Florida we wanted to go all out seeing as it was on our home turf. We enlisted the help of as much media personnel as John P. would let me. I called my friend Mikey Bajer, a film student, to come shoot a great video for us. Although he has never shot an automotive event before and the last drift event he attended was 7 years ago (Falken Drift Showoff at Homestead) after seeing some of his work I felt as if he was up to the challenge and would produce an amazing video. David Atash and Brian Clementi were also more than ready to run back and forth between the pro cars right before they take off to get some astounding...

This is part 2 of our multi part coverage of the Formula Drift event in Palm Beach, FL. Day 2 was final qualifying and it was just as hot out as the day before. The course layout had been changed slightly since a few drivers made friends with the wall a few times on the original layout. However, this didn’t stop these guys from driving at an extremely high level.    It’s been an action packed season and this event in Palm Beach was no different.
