The 2013 season brings in a huge new partner to the Formula Drift series with GoPro. We have a reason to believe they will be added to the Major Sponsors page of the FD website soon and appear with all the major sponsors on the front of the Long Beach flyer. We anticipate the GoPro craze to get even crazier with the official sponsorship.
A little flashback to Issue 16 of Wrecked Magazine when we had Patrick from GoPro tag along with us to film our Virtual vs. Reality piece with Vaughn Gittin Jr. at Willow Springs. We had a blast filming with the Shelby GT500 and you can watch how it all went down in this video: Virtual vs. Reality: Shelby GT500 with Vaughn Gittin Jr.
this will enable us to know who gets closest on runs, this is a great sponsorship to have. Now please upgrade long beach track.
what the heck needs to be upgraded at long beach? its the perfect track to start with. walls everywhere. people with new cars. carnage all the time. sounds like entertainment central to me.
I really hope with this new sponsorship they don’t try to throw incar or other crazy views during the battles. If they do save it for the replays.
There are to many GoPro’s on Dai’s car…said NO ONE EVER. If he and his team are benefiting from all the added GoPros, then that is great, but at what point do you stop with the 24 GoPro’s between two cars and at least half of them are taken off and swapped onto the other car after one run. Granted this is not every single pro FD car having this problem, but just saying. All in all if it helps the team, then I’m all for it.
I’m excited for this. I expect some great videos this year. Maybe they’ll push the envelope a bit
I’m reminded of this:

There should be a rule about no switching go pro’s between lead/tandem runs, it’s fucking boring
