2006 Formula D Championship Rules and Regulations 1 2006 Formula D Championship Rules and Regulations THE FORMULA DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP Entering its third season, Formula Drift Championship, produced and owned by Irvine, Calif.-based Formula Drift, Inc., continues to expand into new markets as the first and only sanctioned and recognized North American professional drifting championship series (sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing). This high-skilled, high-powered motor sport where drivers intentionally maneuver their cars into well executed, controlled sideways slides at high speeds through a marked course, has more than 30 professional drivers competing in all six competitions this year. A well established sport in Japan for more than a decade, Formula Drift, Inc. and its sister company Slipstream Global Marketing, Inc. had the vision and were instrumental in bringing the first official competition to the United States in 2003 at Irwindale Speedway. The unanticipated fan interest led to the rapid formation of the first ever, sanctioned and recognized drifting circuit, Formula Drift, which had its roots firmly grounded in Southern California, a hotbed for incoming Japanese-influence automotive trends. An important part of the program involves community outreach. Drivers and Formula D serve as the ambassador for the sport of drifting bringing exhibitions to traditional or mainstream motor sports events across the country which has included: Bridgestone Monterey Grand Prix/Champ Car Race, USAC, NASCAR Busch North & Featherlite Southwest and the SPEED World Challenge, among others. In addition another 100-200 local team drivers will join in local markets to test their skills and techniques with the pros. Judged on execution and style, rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time, Drifting is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, and is often compared to the freestyle nature of skateboarding and motocross. Drivers and Formula Drift also serves as ambassadors for the sport of drifting bringing exhibitions to traditional or mainstream motor sports events across the country which have included: Bridgestone Monterey Grand Prix/Champ Car Race, USAC, NASCAR Busch North & Featherlite Southwest and the SPEED World Challenge, among others. More Formula Drift Fast Facts • Formula D has the largest number of tire manufactures involved that any other motorsport series in the world. • First drifting championship to be featured in a major video game with title sponsor EA Games • First drifting championships to be sponsored by non-endemic companies including EA Games and Circuit City • First drifting championship to have works teams (auto maker supported) Television Partner The 2005 Formula D Championships was nationally on Comcast’s cable channel G4TechTV, as part of a multi-year, national deal to bring viewers hour-long specials showcasing competitions and the culture of drifting. As enthusiasm for this latest wave of Japanese car culture continues to spread across the country, fans in more cities will have access to the excitement as 2006 Formula D not only increases its track dates, but will also be broadcasted nationally on Comcast’s cable network, G4TechTV. 1 2006 Formula D Championship Rules and Regulations Tire Battle Formula Drift has the most tire sponsors of any U.S. motorsport. As part of the series, tire manufacturers compete in the Formula D Tire Battle for points and bragging rights. Points are given to tire manufacturer sponsors in accordance with driver wins. Bragging rights allow manufacturers to use their Tire Battle title in all advertising and marketing outreach to the fans, something that is becoming increasingly competitive. Tire company sponsors include: • Bridgestone Tires • Cooper Tires • Dunlop Tires • Falken Tires • Nitto Tires • Toyo Tires • Yokohama Tires FAN DEMOS The following data was compiled via a random selection online survey available on the Formula Drift website. The survey was conducted from August 16 to October 1, 2004, with more than 700 surveys were received. • More than 80% of respondents are between the ages of 16-29 years. • Drifting is a predominantly male fan base; 88%. • 60% of drifting fans are college graduates or have attended college. • More than 45% of drifting fans earn an annual salary in excess of $35,000. • Online use is hot among drifting fans; more than 47% spend between 8 and 30 hours online every week • Drifting fans love to game; nearly 90% of respondents own gaming systems • Local parts chain stores are not the primary resource for drift enthusiasts (less than 13%): more than 42% purchase parts online, with more than 41% buying from specialty/tuner shops direct. • Fans will be fans; of all the respondents less than 20% ever get behind the wheel to give drifting a try; more than 70% enjoy watching the sport. • No surprise, more than 85% of fans own their own car, and that they are predominately Japanese imports. The most popular brands include Nissan (29%), Toyota (16%) and Honda (15%).

It is similar to rally racing, but is done on a closed course and judged on execution and style rather than who finishes the course fastest. Drifting takes all the thrilling moments of traditional motorsports and packs it together into non-stop competition. Today’s U.S.-based Formula Drift takes the excitement one step further by being the only drifting competition that features aggressive side-by-side action as finalists burn up the course two-at-a-time often only inches apart. Drifting pros finesse their cars into spectacular powerslides around a series of corners of a set course as powerful engines roar and the tires bellow smoke. The driver controls engine power, shifts gears and feathers the brake pedal, while at the same time spinning the steering wheel in a precise fashion from left to right linking corners with pinpoint accuracy. The driver is controlling and maneuvering the car beyond the limits of the tires’ traction. History of Drifting Drifting started in Japan approximately 10 years ago. Today, the extreme motorsport is so accepted and popular in the country, that drivers have become recognized celebrities. In time, drifting evolved into an organized series called the D1 Grand Prix in which top Japanese professional drivers compete in a series of events to determine the best drifter. Amateur drifting events take place in Europe, Australia and in the U.S., U.S.-based drifting has been an underground sport for the last 10 years but professional drifting has only taken off in the States recently. In Spring 2003, Irvine, Calif.-based Slipstream Global Marketing brought top professional Japanese drivers to the U.S. to participate in an exhibition competition to a sell out crowd at Southern California’s Irwindale Speedway. Within six months of the exhibition, which was nothing less than an electrifying debut, Slipstream Global Marketing, along with Yokohama Tire Corporation as title sponsor, brought the D1 Grand Prix All Star Invitational to the U.S. in its official debut appearance outside of Japan. The success of these events caused an explosion of interest in mainstream national media and further reinforced the interest and need for a North American competition, and in 2003 Formula Drift was founded by Slipstream to deliver sanctioned competitions of auto-crazed fans across the U.S. Company History Founded in 2001, Slipstream Global Marketing is an integrated event and marketing management company which most recently was instrumental in bringing Drifting to America in August, 2003, with a Japanese-American driver exhibition called D1 Grand Prix at Irwindale Speedway in Southern California. The success of the event with the track’s first ever sellout crowd launched the formation of Formula Drift, Inc. a sister company that produces the only sanctioned professional drifting circuit in the United States, Formula D. With a hand on the pulse the underground influencer demographic that today’s marketers are looking to reach with their brands, Slipstream has carved a niche as specialty marketing and event producers, including projects for eBay Motors, JCW Sport Compact and Mazda North America. 3 2006 Formula D Championship Rules and Regulations North American Drifting Scene In Japan, the art of Drifting has been popular among the street racers or “hashiriya” for more than 15 years, and has morphed into one of the country’s number one attended motorsports in less than a decade, where professional Japanese Drifters are the equivalent of national celebrities. To the novice, it would appear that drifting very recently crossed the Pacific Ocean and exploded into the world or racing not more than two years ago, but hard core enthusiasts know different. The American Drifting scene’s roots can be traced back to the late 1980s and early 1990s. When drag racing was exploding across America, a small number of enthusiast’s fascination was leaning toward an underground sport in Japan called canyon racing and drifting. Most of today’s U.S. Drifter circuit pros tell similar stories about following the Japanese car culture, and how they uncovered access to this underground world through the Internet and in small Japanese bookstores in Japanese neighborhoods, primarily in Southern California. It was here that enthusiasts pummeled through hundreds of car magazines and racing videos that featured modified cars that looked very different than what was in the U.S. – and has since become today’s tuner scene. Magazine covers like Carboy, J's Tipo , Option , and Autoworks opened a window into Japanese racing movements including Drifting, VIP and Group A, which eventually evolved into Japan’s number one grand prix circuit knows as JGTC or Super GT racing.

  • Le Mans Fan Guide 2006 Jacky Ickx
    24 Heures du Mans Fan Guide 2006 „If you've never been at Le Mans, than you've never experienced a race!“ Tom Kristensen Update: 12.06.2006 22:00 Vorwort Bereits zum dritten Mal erstellen wir nun einen deutschsprachigen Le Mans Fan Guide. Wir möchten zuerst denjenigen danken, welche bereits 2004 unser Erstlingswerk gele- sen haben und uns motiviert haben auch 2005 einen Fan Guide zu gestalten. Die Tatsa- che, dass die 2005er Ausgabe noch weit mehr Leser erreichte als die 2004er Ausgabe ließ als Konsequenz nur zu: Auch 2006 wird es einen Fan Guide geben! Viele praktische Informationen am Ende des Fan Guide wurden für dieses Jahr überar- beitet und die Statistiken um das Rennergebnis 2005 erweitert. Wie schon in den Vor- jahren, gibt es auch in dieser Auflage wieder eine umfangreiche Starterliste sowie einen Blick in die Le Mans Historie. Hierfür haben wir uns den Vater der charmanten, ehemali- gen LMES Piloten Vanina Ickx, den sechsfachen Le Mans Sieger Jacky Ickx ausge- schaut. Die Zeit der LMP900 und LMP675 Fahrzeuge ist abgelaufen und mit dem AUDI R10 betritt erstmals ein werksseitig entwickelter LMP1 die Bühne von Le Mans. Und wir erleben erstmals den Einsatz eines konsequent vorbereiteten Diesel Motors - im AUDI R10. Le Mans 2006 also eine klare Sache? Dies bleibt abzuwarten. Vom Speed her scheinen die Pescarolo auf einer einzelnen Runde einen minimalen Vorteil zu haben. Ob dieser jedoch über die Distanz von 24h gehalten werden kann wird sich am 24. Wochenende des Jahres klären. Wir erleben aber auch eine LMP2 Kategorie die das laufen gelernt hat und sowohl an Qualität und Quanität zugelegt hat.

  • 124 Initiald
    INITIAL D: Story Initial D is about a young Japanese ’lad’,Takumi Fujiwara. He has been delivering Tofu every morning for his Dad's shop since he was young. Initially dis-interested, his dad, Bunta Fujiwara taught him to be a great race car driver. When Takumi was forced to race with the ‘Red Suns’ in his Dad's AE86 Tru- eno he started to get interested in racing and the story moves forward. COMIC & ANIME SERIES: Inspired by Wangan Midnight (see elsewhere), Initial D appeared first in 1996 as a 200 page manga comic/book. Wangan is about Highway racing, whereas Initial D focuses on Touge (mountain pass) rac- ing. The series is created by one Shigeno Shuichi. After dozens of books, It soon became an Anime se- ries (part CGI, part hand-drawn). The series is known as ‘Initial D 1st Stage/2nd Stage/3rd Stage’. The movie is ‘Extra Stage’. ABOUT DRIFTING: What is it? Drifting is just a cornering technique which sees the driver have the car as sideways as possible, for as long as feasible, with as much smoke and tyre squeal as can be mustered. When did it start? Becoming popular a bit more popular in the USA during the Mid nineties, it took Europe even longer to catch on. Drifting is said to have first being seen in the Japanese Touring Car Series in the seventies! One Kunimitsu Takahashi is credited with being the first to use this technique. However it’s fair to say that all racing drivers have always had cars sideways for kicks, so it’s probably unfair to talk about the ’roots’ of drifting.

    ПРЕСС-КИТ Фёдор ВОРОБЬЕВ Москва, Россия WESTLAKE ВАЗ 2105 5 Двигатель: 2JZ / 3,0/ 550 лс. ВПЕРВЫЕ В АВТОСПОРТЕ: В детстве очень увлекался автомобилями, постоянно следил за ними, тянулся к технике, смотрел видео, и уже тогда осознавал, что куплю собственный. И не просто для езды, а чтобы КОМАНДА: его дорабатывать, строить, выступать на соревнованиях и достигать результатов. Именно с Жигулей - началось и с ними продолжилось увлечение автоспортом. Первые медали особенно вдохновляли, и уже сегодня дрифт перерос в серьёзное увлечение, сегодня он — это часть жизни. Начал участвовать в соревнованиях по дрифту в 2008 году и выступал практически на всех гонках, которые проходили в Москве и области. Типы гонок, в которых принимал участие до того, как серьёзно занялся дрифтом абсолютно разные: ралли-спринт, дрифт, драг, кольцевые гонки, time attack, картинг, любительское ралли, профориентирование, кантри-кросс, триал, муд-рейсинг. ДОСТИЖЕНИЯ: Чемпионат «Russian Drift Series 2017»: 6 место по итогам сезона Участник кубка чемпионов 2017,SOCHI AUTODROM: 6 место RDS GP 2018: 8 место по итогам сезона RDS GP 2019: 12 место по итогам сезона (личный зачёт), 2 место в командном зачёте RDS GP 2020: 18 место по итогам сезона (личный зачёт), 4 место в командном зачёте RDS Урал, 3 этап, 2021: 1 место ОБО МНЕ: Я горжусь своими родителями. За то, что они воспитали меня таким, какой я есть сейчас. Благодаря им я стал упрямым. Ставлю цель — и никакие препятствия не станут для меня помехой. При этом добр и лоялен к людям. Горжусь теми, с кем работаю, расту, нахожусь в движении. Нахожусь в постоянном движении: работа, учёба, спорт, хобби, семья.

  • Lexus Is 250 Manual Transmission
    Lexus is 250 manual transmission Continue If you knew about any of them, your car knowledge is strong! We all know that the manual gearbox is dying out on the main cars. There are several cars on the market that offer a guide as an option, and even fewer that don't come with the option of self-switching gear. Most manual gearboxes are reserved for sports and expensive models, but they can often be found at the other end of the spectrum on the most basic models. We made a list of five cars that offered a manual transmission that no one knew about. Maybe that's why no one ordered them, or maybe they just aren't very good. The Porsche Mechanical Gearbox is extremely important for Porsche models such as the 911 and 718, but not as much for an SUV as the Cayenne. Few buyers of family SUVs, such as the Cayenne, care about having a guide, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from offering it. The manual version was only available on the Cayenne base with a 3.6-liter V6 that produced 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The manual model can hit 60 mfin 7.5 seconds, 0.5 seconds faster than the eight-car Tiptronic. Unfortunately, the Turbo never had a manual version, but the original Cayenne GTS had the option of a six-speed manual transmission with a 405-hp V8. The Lexus Lexus IS has always been a competitor to the BMW 3 Series, which has never received the same attention as German competitors like the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class.

  • Scion Racing Sits Atop Formula DRIFT Standings Heading Into Season Finale
    Scion Racing Sits Atop Formula DRIFT Standings Heading into Season Finale October 07, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif. (Oct. 7, 2015) – Scion Racing has its eye on the prize. Heading into the 2015 U.S. Formula DRIFT Pro Championship, Rockstar Energy Hankook Tire Scion tC driver Fredric Aasbo leads all competition in first place, while GReddy Performance Scion FR-S driver Ken Gushi follows in second. With a substantial points lead, Scion Racing has already captured its second straight Manufacturer’s Cup. The Formula DRIFT season finale, Final Fight, takes place Oct. 9 – 10 at Irwindale Speedway in Irwindale, California. With a runner-up finish in the 2014 Formula Drift season, Aasbo hopes to achieve his 10-year dream of clinching the driver’s championship. “We feel great heading into the finals and are hungry to close out the season on top,” said Aasbo. “Making adjustments to the tC after last season has paid off for us, and I’m excited to get out there and battle for the title.” Gushi moved from Fourth to Second in the Formula DRIFT Championship points standings after a strong runner-up showing at Formula Drift Texas in August. “The momentum is definitely on our side,” said Gushi. “All season the FR-S has performed at optimal levels, and I’m hoping Fredric and I will be standing next to one another on the podium at Irwindale.” Outside of the drifting action, fans are welcome to stop by the Scion Racing space to check out the 2015 Scion xB 686 Parklan Edition along with an array of modified vehicles.
