Preview Danny George’s Latest Sponsor, Maybe a Hint At The Future?

Posted by: on

So a little over a month ago Danny George took to facebook asking fans to mix and match a couple STR Racing rims in different colors and designs to his miata. He also mentions in another post about a possible signature wheel idea.
A little bit of time passes and on August 31st Danny posted on Facebook “Title Sponsor for 2014…. Check”. Later that same day me has another post talking about some wider Hankook 225s on 15″ tires and how they would fit nicely on those new 15×10 wheels they are working on.
Now today he posted this picture of his Miata being loaded for Formula D Round 6 in Texas.

Now there has been no official word as of yet, and this is complete speculation as of now, but I do remember when the design Danny George’s Livery contest was being held there was mention of keeping the hood open for any title sponsor that may want to jump on board.
Will 2+2=4? Only Time will tell, either way it’s great to see some sponsors finally jumping on to the Bearded Bandwagon and powering Danny George forward in his Drifting Career.
P.S. We over here at Shift-Therapy may have a little surprise for you Danny George fans in the upcoming months, If you follow Danny on Instagram (@whosdannygeorge) you may have seen a preview of it already, but if not stay tuned, it may help explain why the site’s been a little sparse on updates as of late.

Formula Drift Atlanta Controversy

Posted by: on

So I was able to make it up to Atlanta this weekend for Round 2 of Formula D, and I have hundreds of photos to sift through and started writing the recap but after working on the site latency and the 12 hour drive back yesterday I’m still a little winded. So that will wait, in the meantime I will say that I feel that I was extremely lucky to be there for 2 really controversial events that I feel will not be forgotten anytime soon.

First was the race between Danny George and Ryan Tuerck, both drivers I am really fond of and was rooting for, I went into this match thinking that the new 2JZ FR-S was going to just be a monster and pull but it didn’t and Danny did an amazing job on his lead run. The trouble started right off the bat on Tuerck’s lead run where Ryan claimed that Danny hit in and caused the spin and the judges (after a long review) awarded Tuerck the win. It seems now that more video is being released, this one by LORENinHD, that seems to show a different angle.

The other monsterous(you’ll get it in a second) event was when Vaughn Gittin JR seemed to forget he was following another car and powered over the front of Fredric Aasbo’s tC. When it first happened my jaw dropped but then to see both drivers continue the run was amazing, not a single person was sitting. They ended up going OMT for an unknown reason and giving Gittin the win, but it was an amazing match.

Neither of the results from these matches were favored by the crowd and it was loud and clear to everyone there, I have never heard a FD crowd boo as loud as when Tuerck was announced the winner or when Gittin moved on. So check back tomorrow for a full recap but there are two of the most talked about events as of right now. The other things that I’ll go into more detail in the recap was the amazing run Forrest Wang dropped vs Daigo Saito as well as the qualifying results disaster than left a lot of people confused going into Top32.
