The two time Formula Drift champion won’t be in Formula Drift anymore so he can go suck up to Ford and Rockstar Energy Drink in Rallycross. While that information was officially lacking from the PR I cannot really see many other reasons to be walking away before this 2011 season. Although Rockstar Energy Drink use to be the title sponsor of Formula Drift it seems like their interest in the sport has progressively faded over recent years.
That combined with the fact that Tanner isn’t the Ford golden boy of the Ford Motor Company in drifting has potentially lead him to try and make that happen elsewhere. Serving double duty with an OEM isn’t going to get him that position with Ford so Rallycross seems to be his logical answer. He will be driving in Abu Dhabi at the end of this month in the Rockstar Energy Drink tC still at this time. I guess the good news is AT LEAST he didn’t sell out and leave Formula Drift for time attack.
I don’t understand your frustration Wrecked. Just announce the news like the benign fanboys you are. No need to denounce a driver who has done more for drifting than your wack ass website will ever do.
Tanner is THE single most talented Driver in FD. He could out-think and out maneuver almost anyone. Was it not for the T32 controversial defeat to Gushi in Atlanta, he’d have won the Championship, FOR THE 3RD TIME, in 2010.
mikez….what have u done for drifting? obviously nothing. so put up or shut up.
i dont get it, why would going to time attack be considered selling out?
cause time attack is the most boring shit in history
Take Rhys with ya!
I petitely pounded your moms corhole and never called her back.
This comment section needs “issue resolution” quickly!
Only reason Tanner is quitting is because he knows there is no-way he’ll be able to take Tuerck this year!
good! please take rhys millen with you as well!
