Driven 2 Drift 2013 Episode 1: GReddy Racing Scion FR-S Tech Overview

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

Driven to Drift S4 Ep2 Road Atlanta

In the latest episode of Driven to Drift, we go behind the scenes with Ken Gushi, Fredric Aasbo and Tony Angelo to get a closer look on the specifics of how Formula Drift competitions are judged. Tony Angelo, a former FD judge lends particular insight into sometimes objective and sometimes subjective factors they're scored on, and how it's these factors that set drifting apart from nearly all other forms of motorsports.


At Road Atlanta, the judges were on our side. Fredric advanced all the way through, besting some of the top drivers including Rhys Millen and Daigo Saito, and landing in the #2 spot on the podium. Congrats to the Need For Speed team on all their hard work.

SCION RACING || DRIFT FR-S WORLD DEBUT

             Way to go ken, keeping it 4 cylinder still. i love the styling of these cars, they are different but look great. I cant wait to see you in action at Long Beach.

SEMA... pt1

Well as usual i waited till the last minute to pick up passes at registration. But it turned out to be good since i was able to walk around and snap some spy shots before there was too many people. This is also a functiontheory first, as this is the first time we were recognized by SEMA as a media business, thus granting us OFFICIAL passes to SEMA. not like other passes we have gotten in the past. so here is my adventure from today it mainly is the outside front area, and then the central hall. i will be going to SEMA for the next three days. so look forward to new photos every night.

FT-86

New details have surfaced on Toyota's FT-86 model.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the FT-86 will be badged as a Scion for the United States market and likely be sold under the name FR-S. The site reports that Toyota and Scion marketing executives were informed of the news on Tuesday.

According to the report, the decision was made to shore up the Scion brand, which is struggling in the United States and only does well in a few regions of the country particularly California and Texas. Selling the FT-86 under the Scion brand would also keep its selling price stable and low (as Scion has a fixed pricing structure).

Adding to the story, the site Toyobaru.net also says that the FT-86 will get a 2.5 liter Boxer engine instead of the 2.0 liter that had been previously announced. The FT-86 is a joint development between Toyota and Subaru. The Subaru version of the FT-86, labeled the 216a, will be fitted with a 2.0 liter turbocharged engine producing 260 hp (194 kW / 264 PS).

Toyobaru.net also reports it has only seen information related to a European market release for the Subaru version of the FT-86. The FT-86 will likely be sold in other world markets in Asia and elsewhere solely under the Toyota badge.

Selling price for the Scion FT-86 model will be $25,000 in the United States. Styling changes are expected, to "square" with the Scion brand's more boxy designs. The model is scheduled to debut in 2012.
