Gardella Racing has had an open driver search for the last few months. They are looking to add a second driver to their Formula D team. Today Gardella posted on his blog that he has narrowed the search to his top 3 picks: Patrick Cyr, Chelsea Denofa & Eric O’Sullivan. May the best man win.
We know that Vaughn Gittin Jr. is first in the championship but statistically Ryan Tuerck, Daijiro Yoshihara, and Tanner Foust all have a chance at taking it home this weekend. Here is how it could all work:
Vaughn Gittin Jr. Can Secure the Championship By:
1- He can qualify anywhere in the Top 32
2- He must win his Top 32 Tandem to secure the championship and qualify higher than 16th.
Daijiro Yoshihara Can Secure the Championship By:
1- Needs to finish 1st or 2nd if Vaughn loses in Top 32
2- Could win with a 3rd place finish but would have to out qualify Vaughn by 4 points.
Tanner Foust Can Secure the Championship By:
1- Win the event after Vaughn loses in Top 32. He would have to out qualify him by .5 points. Daijiro Yoshihara would have to score less than 83 points which would mean he would need to be on the podium.
Ryan Tuerck Can Secure the Championship By:
1- He must win the event and out qualify Vaughn Gittin Jr. by 9 points. Vaughn must be eliminated in Top 32 and get less than 3 qualifying points. Tanner Foust and Daijiro Yoshihara would basically have to not podium. Tons of this variance would fall from qualifying order.
The DMCC season has already come to a close due to the horrendous weather in Canada over the winter.

World Drift Series China 2008 [REVIEW]
Check out some insane and over the top demo action from last year’s WDS China event. Formula Drift stars Kyle Mohan, Ross Petty, Patrick Mordaunt, Henry Schelley, and many more drivers having fun smashing into each other and slamming into walls! The fans went crazy and the drivers clearly had a blast overseas in China.

We uncovered some photos of the Signal Auto S15 Silvia while it was still in Osaka, Japan. The first photo was from a test day with the car. The other photos are from Signal Auto HQ in Osaka. This place is pretty amazing as I was able to visit this place last January with one of our website sponsors Exedy Clutches. I am really liking the way this car looks and interested to see what the Signal drivers will be able to do with this new setup for 2009. I am sure Kenji Yaminaka and Kazu Hayashida are just as excited to step behind the wheel of their new machines starting at Formula D Long Beach.
The GenesisForums found some great footage of the Hyundai drifting at a Korean Drift event! The coupe doesn’t do anything very impressive but some 1st/2nd gear action around the little lot before the track. Hopefully we can land more footage of this coupe in action but it already looks like the Koreans are figuring out how to set this car up for Drifting. Hopefully the American tuner market will be as quick to figure out the Genesis Coupe
