Bringing Back The Bimmer!
“…I learned a lot from working with a professional team and enjoyed the arrive and drive program style of Bergenholtz Racing. I respect their decision not to run a program in FD this year and thank them for the experience. I plan to take what I have learned to my team to bring the ruckus in the BMW! That car shreds! Although it’s a lot more work on my end to be the owner, driver, manager, and to handle logistics, it’s the program style I’m used to running and it really completes the package for me personally. I’m extremely confident in my team’s capabilities and look forward to working with several very solid sponsors. I also work with a very talented media team, so keep an eye out for some fun projects from CDM this year! My team and I are ready for the challenge and couldn’t be more psyched to bring back the BMW for my second Formula Drift season.”

1000hp Scion FRS Drift Car
we can all assume that this, The 2013 year of Formula D is going to be crazy. everyone is going to have CRAZY horse power and crazier cars. Im both very excited to see all the craziness, but at the same time disappointed to see the original true spirit of drifting die here in america. its seems that Formula D is just trying to make drifting a spectator sport and there is no limits or restrictions allowed. they clearly want to just make it a show so more people will come and spend money at events. i know that this is a touchy subject and i know it is also a double sided sword. from a business aspect i can see why all this is important, but from a fan or real drifting its kinda getting outta control. what happened to drifting with 300-400 horsepower. what happened to crazy close tandem runs. whats next 2000 horsepower... lets let the real driving aspect of drifting be the skill to winning not just having a huge amount of power.
any how this car that is going to be driven by Otto Graven and it has some seriously sweet stuff going on. you can check out the build here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25217

Formula DRIFT Insider 2012 Ep8
seems like each episode becomes more and more of a chance to just explain why the judges did what they did. please dont use these videos to justify why the judges did what they did, or explain the new rules that you are always implementing. just show us some INSIDER information or behind the scenes things that we dont get to see.

Formula DRIFT insider 2012 Ep 7
this episode touches on the JTP/Saito indecent, I think JTP and other drivers need to take a step back and realize that they are in a competition. In every competition around the world there is strategy behind it, and Daigo has every right to use some sort of strategy to win.Tanner Foust is a great example of someone that used strategy/intimidation to beat people. he had one of the fastest cars at the time with an 800+ NASCAR V8, and he was using his brakes too. Its all just a part of strategy. all the top major funded teams out there have to money to build a 1200 HP car, Daigo is the only one that did it. Dont be mad cause he has that much power. Plus its not just having the power its having the skill too. Tony B has a freshly built motor with a ton of power and its not really helping him. I myself would love to see a horsepower cap of 500 i think thats plenty fair. Formula Drift is skewing slowly away from entertaining people that are drifters to people that just want to hear loud cars and see lots of smoke. I know that what sell the tickets though, but come on now look how far away from the original Formula D we have gotten. PASSING ZONES, 2 tires off or 3 off, its a deduction if you tap the clipping point weather it be the wall or the cone, and the judges inconsistent scoring and what seems like favoritism or influence from major sponsors. its becoming more and more of a joke for the true drift enthusiast out there. that's why i say we all just keep taking to the streets. KEEP DRIFTING FUN! Remember that dirt drops are cool even if FD doesn't like them, and there is a reason we all zip tie our bumpers on. its so we can rip them off while we are drifting.
in conclusion this rant was not made to piss people off, nor to bag on drivers. I LOVE JTP and think he is a great driver, probably one of the best on the FD tour. but he just needs to remember that its a competition. i cant even imagine the pressure he is under from his big name sponsors, and im sure they are breathing down his neck about winning, and its not a place i would like to be. But remember he put himself in the position when he signed up to be a pro drifter and have that be the way he brings home the bacon. just like the movie stars that i dont feel sorry for when they get blasted by the paparazzi, its there choice to make millions and be in the spotlight.
I don't hate V8s
I don't LOVE Daigo
I don't care if there are mustangs in an import scene
I LOVE DRIFTING.
I just wanted to open peoples eyes to The road FD is heading down.
REMEMBER you don't have to agree with me, or believe anything is write. Its strictly my own interpretation, and my own opinion if you don't like it go make you own blog
