The championship race this year has been one to keep an eye on. Even though Vaughn Gittin Jr. holds the first place we witnessed that he won’t coast his way to a championship this year. Tanner Foust soared in the points with his win and Daijiro Yoshihara’s early elimination in the round. Note that we announced the 2010 Redbull World Championship is happening this year in Atlanta, Georgia which means if your out of championship contention you still want to fight to finish in the Top 16 so you can receive an invite. That is assuming Formula Drift runs the same format as they did in 2008.
