We are scheduled to go meet up with Scion/Rockstar Team Owner and builder Stephan Papadakis tomorrow at Seibon Carbon! Please place in the comments section below any questions you would like us to ask him. Currently Tanner Foust is relaxing in Hawaii but Stephan is hard at work completing the new 2011 Scion tC for Tanner Foust to drive starting at Streets of Long Beach.
Dear Mr. Papadakis,
When my cat gets spooked, he runs through my house. On carpet, he has loads of grip but once he hits the hardwood, he starts drifting. However, lately, he appears to understeer. Yesterday, he tried to run around a corner and understeered into the wall. What can I do to stop the understeer?
Above Question is epic.
I heard Tanner Foust might not be driving the Scion tC this year…. is that true?
Why the 2AR switch?
What subfram and rear end did you put in the TC? Is it out of the MK4 Supra?
Will you be getting back behind the wheel again soon.
Its obvious one of the earlier post of the rumor that you acquired an FT-86 was false, but are you interested in getting your hands on the new piece of Toyota FR machinery or is that still something your on the fence about? It would be sweet to see one of those out of the gate going sideways built by you especially.
Is Tanner competing in A. Formula Drift or B. European / USA Rallycross in 2011?
If Rallycross is true, which is the word on the street, who do you get to fill the boots of Tanner and most importantly what about the Rockstar partnership for your program as im sure their involvement lies around Tanner being behind the wheel? Is their grounds for concern at present?
what’s it like being 5’2″?
my question:
does he still have any of his old Hondas? have his drag racing days come to a close?
and…looking back on his drag racing class, what names stick out to him and why?
ohhh yea…
idrift – i know he sold the Pro FWD tube car, but I’m pretty sure he has the hatchback and possibly the RWD car
How was running in the Honda Challenge (HC) during NASA Nationals last year? Are you going to compete in HC and LOORS (Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series) again this year?
Dear Stephan,
how is it going to be for you since tanner is not gonna be driving the 2011 season and asabo will be in the scion TC your building?
Guys,
Appreciate all the participation. We were able to ask him all the questions after “really?” Sadly we did the interview before the others came in.
However, he did touch on LOORS and he has some pretty big news with that he told us in the video.
Why would Jap Performance Parts put a RB25 in a WRX?
Steph, predictions or overall game plan for 2011? Same concept coming over to this new chassis or is it an experiment with all the data gathered from all previous drift machines. Thanks.
