Formula D 2010 is Upon Us!
This came through last night and I haven't gotten around to posting it up, but tickets for the season opener of Formula Drift in Long Beach has just gone on sale through formuladrift.com, Ticketmaster, and the Long Beach Convention Center Box Office. The two day event will take place on April 9th & 10th along turns 9, 10, 11 of the Long Beach Grand Prix street course. Should be another great season for Formula D! Consider purchasing your tickets soon as this event has been known to sell out... (Tickets for Road Atlanta, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Infineon Raceway have also gone on sale!)
On a side note, Team Honda Research should be there with their RWD Element. You know, the Honda Element with the twin turbo Acura V6 pushing out 550hp? :drool: Count me in! Haven't heard of this monster Element? Check the video from Nation of Go that touches on THR and their Drifting Element:

FormulaD takes over the Infineon Raceway…
Infineon Raceway is one of the four original Formula DRIFT tracks on the circuit. Located in Sonoma, CA, Infineon is close to the world famous wineries and driving distance from both Oakland and San Francisco.
Utilizing only a portion of the full 2.52-mile road course, Formula DRIFT uses the exit for Turn 4A, Turn 7A, and Turn 7. One of the fastest tracks of the season, Infineon’s course starts with a downhill straight that has seen drivers reach the 100mph+ mark before entering the fast right-hand turn. Drivers will have to use their best car control skills to manage the speed and slide back around the sweeping turns. Hopefully I will get to get some event photos up... that is if I go! Here's a drift video to get you hyped up!
