Issue 21 is here with the 2011 Rookies taking center stage on our cover this month. In depth interviews with Walker Wilkerson, Otto Graven, and Odi Bakchis put the team of 2011 on the center stage like nobody else has to date. We also grabbed J Brad (Team Falken Motorsports Manager) and asked him all the questions you readers submitted which made for a great piece. The Industry Insider sits us down with Efrain Olivares who is the agent for Kyle Mohan and Tyler McQuarrie. The issue pays tribute to one of our favorite Wrecked photographers Dan Jenkins in the In Focus Section. We wrap up with a look at the Retaks S13 and the return of Toshiki Yoshioka from D1GP.

This is a preview page from the August issue of Option2 magazine which is featuring a Formula Drift spread and the 2010 season recap episode inside the DVD. This is the series we were hinting at in our rumor post yesterday and only a few people guessed it would be Formula Drift.
This is a screen grab of the actual layout talking about Round 1 at Long Beach and Round 2 at Road Atlanta. What does everyone think about Option2 pages being filled with some American drift coverage in the magazine along with the DVD inserts? Who in Japan is looking forward to getting DVD coverage from the newsstands featuring American drift content? This is a huge announcement from Formula Drift starting up a bigger invasion of Asia. Is a Formula Drift Asia event in Japan next on the docket? We sure hope so!

The new August issue of Option 2 is right around the corner from hitting newsstands in Japan. The magazine is notorious for it’s loaded coverage of the D1 Grand Prix series in the past. This makes sense logically since the magazine is based in Japan along with the D1GP drifting series. It has been one of the leading series in the world but during the past year some cracks in the world wide series have cropped up.
Teams have cried foul and the founders have walked away from the series. Option 2 magazine has now taken a step to promote another big drifting series worldwide that isn’t D1. We have to hold out on telling you what series that is but we hope you can figure it out with some deductive reasoning.
A recap show will be featured in the DVD insert and the magazine will include some drifting coverage from the series. We are told the official release of this announcement will come out shortly (by end of week perhaps) from the series but it will be a huge announcement. This comes as a pretty big blow to the D1GP series who has dominated the pages/DVDs of Option 2 magazine in years past.
