Less than an hour ago the following track layout for Formula D Round 6 in Texas at the Texas Motor Speedway was posted online by a couple different drivers. Looks like another long track, can’t wait to see how the judges are able to view the entire battle here.
The other day Miro Ovcharik took to Facebook to announce a new partnership with Standard Suspension. Standard Suspension will be sponsoring Miro for the remainder of this season and continue into the entire 2014 FD season equipping him with their R3 coilover system. This suspension setup is also currently in use by the 2012 DMCC champion Marc Landreville on his S14.
I met Miro briefly in Atlanta and Palm Beach this season and he definitely left an impression with his welcoming personality and his all out driving style. After looking into his program I gained a pretty high level of respect for him and hope this new partnership helps grow his program, take his career to the next level and finally break into the top 16.
It seems that JR Hildebrand took advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend and headed out to Sonoma Raceway to get some seat time in the Tyler McQuarrie Racing Mobile 1/GoPro/Hankook Chevrolet Camaro. Hopefully the additional seat time can help him place a little better than he did in Seattle.
The latest episode of Tuerck’d hits us today with their second attempt at the Slide Ride, but lucky for us this attempt is much more successful, checkout the entire Drift Alliance Crew of Tony Angelo, Chris Forsberg, Vaughn Gittin, and Ryan Tuerck show off the precision they hold behind the wheel in their missles tearing it up and tapping dat rail!
Back in June Charles Ng reached out to Wrecked Magainze to talk about his recent podium at a CDC event in China and hint at a possible return to professional drifting.
About a month later rumors that he had purchased the LS7 powered Pontiac Solstice that Gardella Racing was selling that had previously been driven by Ryan Tuerck. Merit was given to these claims this past Friday when Charles brought the car out to a Sonoma Drift event to get some seat time in the Solstice. Charles did comment on an article about this showing saying that the Pontiac was purchased as a drift demo car for his new shop that he has opened stateside (I believe it’s Elite Performance located in Burlingame, CA). He said the car was fun and ran strong but was not a winning or competitive car by current FD standards.
Following these turn of events and comments from Charles Ng it now appears that Charles has reached out to Wrecked Magazine again to unveil some build photos for his new drift car, an LS3 powered Infiniti G37.
So it looks like Charles is poised for a 2014 FD return after taking a hiatus in 2011 to focus on his WTCC career with BMW.
