Most of you probably don’t remember the DRFT Silvia unless your pretty old school in the Formula Drift game or even older school Japanese drift nerd (think Night-Zone) . This car was driven in 2004 by 2009 Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg at Sonoma in 2004. The car vanished for quite some time and it wasn’t seen at events or publicly at all. Since then however the Drift Emporium managed to get their hands on the car and freshen it up. Our resident blogger Marty got a chance to rip it up first after it’s refresh at Turner Field. Even luckier for us he filled his blog with photos and videos so swing over and check it out.

The Xtreme Drift Circuit released it’s judging panel today which falls about three weeks before the first round at Irwindale Speedway. Here are the three judges including one who is our resident blogger!
-Chris Forsberg
-Matt Petty
-Michael Schneider
Here is a little PR blast about all three of the judges background in case your unfamiliar:
“Forsberg is no stranger to any fan of drifting. The 2009 Formula Drift champion became the first series champion whose driving career originated from grassroots drifting, and is uniquely placed to advise and guide the next wave of professional drifters coming up through the XDC. Petty, organizer of the grassroots drifting organization Club Loose, organized the first drifting event at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ in 2003 which he runs to this day. Under his guidance, more Club Loose competition drivers have reached podium status than any other organization’s drivers in the United States. Schneider has served as the head judge of USDrift for the past seven years, and has also judged several PRO/AM regional and national events alongside Formula Drift’s judges in addition to assisting other regional organizations as a guest judge.”

Today at Horse Thief Mile some overpaid film crew and Chris Forsberg got together to shoot a NOS Energy Drink TV commercial. Not sure what all the commercial will entail but our best guess is we will see it airing on Versus this season. That is about all we got from the shoot since our invitation was revoked.

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.
