The long awaited game for Formula Drift has arrived on our website. Once you register you become a Formula D general manager commanding a roster of four drivers. You can compete in public leagues where you can invites friends and have randomly assigned players join to fill the league. You can also run a private league which requires you to invite anyone you want to play into your game. So start a league with work, your drift buddies, or some degenerates from your favorite car forum and draft up for Long Beach!
The game will allow you to score one point for these 10 categories:
1.Top 32 (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It Into the Top 32 You Will Receive One Point)
2.Top 16 (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It Into the Top 16 You Will Receive One Point)
3.Top 8 (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It Into the Top 8 You Will Receive One Point)
4.Podium (Anytime a Driver Of Yours Makes It On Podium You Will Receive One Point Regardless of what Place on the Podium)
5.Vehicle Malfunction (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your team has some sort of vehicle malfunction)
Example: This could be anything from blowing a transmission to not starting at the line.
6.Wreck Tow Off (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your team wrecks his car and must be towed off the course by a tow truck.)
7.Wreck Drive Off (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your team wrecks and is able to drive off on his own will.)
Example: For your driver to qualify into this category he must leave some parts on the track. No bumper taps will count here.
8.One More Time (One point will be rewarded to your team if every time a driver on your roster participates in a One More Time battle regardless of what round he is in.)
9.UnderDog (One point will be rewarded to your team if every time a driver on your roster wins a tandem round of drifting against someone who qualified better than him at the current event.)
10.Team Tire Podium (One point will be rewarded to your team if any driver on your roster who shares a tire company with a driver on the podium.)
Example: Note that your own driver will not count for this. For example, since I have Michael Essa and he runs Maxxis Tires I received points at 2009 Irwindale Speedway Round 7 since Ryan Tuerck was on the podium.
If your not a Fantasy Game professional we understand and if the all the information is a little overwhelming we have made two tutorial videos on how to get going:
I got a link today from the guys at Formula Drift which features a 30 minute+ recap of the 2009 season minus Irwindale Speedway. Some great behind the scenes content, announcing mix ups, and umbrella girls set the tone for this great thirty minute season review. Instead of hosting this thirty minute flick on Wrecked Magazine we figured we could shoot you over to the Vimeo page of the Formula Drift. Grab some popcorn and a cold beer because this one won’t be over anytime soon.
Hello ladies of Panama as they gave the green flag to several Formula Drift drivers for the weekend of demos in the Central American country. This photo from the Formula Drift blog shows the flag girl just waving Justin Pawlak off the line in his Mazda Rx-7. Check out more pics over at the official Formula Drift blog.
Ken Gushi’s Scion tC is gracing the September 2009 issue of PAS Magazine. The Formula Drift Scion tC is looking great on the cover and the inside pages have a a full breakdown of the car done by Jacob Leveton. To compliment the Scion tC they put Tianna Ta on the cover to move some more copies. The issue also has 200 pages of randomness and a Speakers/Nitrous Buyers Guide.
Check out this Hankook Tires video they went out and made at El Toro Field. It includes the three Dyanamic Autosport drivers Ryuji Miki, Eric O’Sullivan, and Robbie Nishida. The video features these three guys drifting around El Toro and three ladies in black suites. At the end Eric O’Sullivan retreives a beverage from another lady to close off the video.
Speedhunters took their Need for Speed girl Michelle Cifuentes and shot her version of the Formula D Irwindale qualifying session. This was a great piece to close out the 2008 season for the Speedhunters crew and we really enjoyed the tour around Irwindale Speedway.
That’s right Formula Drift Store is having a 50% CHRISTMAS Holiday BLOW OUT SALE!! Get all your Formula Drift/Red Bull Drifting Merchandise also we have the limited FATLACE x FORMULA D T-shirt available also! Great gifts for loved ones!
Normally I use this space for a hard sell or a plea to check out the Drifting gallery we just spent our monthly dinner budget on but this time I think it takes no sell. MSC Drift invaded Odaiba over the weekend in a copy of D1GP’s summer Tokyo invasion. The sickest cars in Japan came out to rip it up and we love every still image of it….if you look through the gallery deep enough you will even find some Japanese girls and stormtroopers, what a complete weekend!
Check out this female drifter Akiyo tear up the Ebisu Circuit. She drifts a R32 Nissan Skyline and works on her own car. What a great find the Speedhunters crew snagged while in Japan.
Before Formula D Sonoma the Fatlace Store in San Fransisco threw a get together at their store in Japantown to celebrate the t-shirt collaboration. Formula D drifter and Norcal local Calvin Wan even brought out his Falken Tires Mazda Rx-7 and parked it just out front of Fatlace. You can order the limited edition t-shirts at the Formula D official store.
