Formula Drift Inc focuses on meeting the needs of drifting popularity  

Irvine, CA (July 13, 2006) - Formula Drift Inc. today announced the
launch of www.formulad.com <http://www.formulad.com/> , the official
website dedicated to the first and only sanctioned and recognized North
American professional drifting championship series (sanctioned by Sports
Car Club of America). Formula Drift revived the original site in order
to provide constant and detailed information to the drifting community. 

 

"This revitalized site meets the needs of this extreme sport, including
flash video, driver profiles, track layouts, and updated news and
results." said Fred Chang, marketing manager for Formula Drift Inc.
"Formula Drift has grown on and off the course and while we found that
nearly fifty percent of our fan base spends 8 to 30 hours online every
week, we need to provide constant updates to keep them up to speed on
our activity."

 

In addition to providing updates on the Championship Series,
FormulaD.com will provide video clips and images from each location
highlighting the spectacular powerslides and clouds of smoke bellowing
off competitor's tires as they compete in aggressive side-by-side
action. Formula Drift encourages fans to become part of the forum and
submit their appreciation for the sport.

 

Formula Drift, Inc. is gearing up for the fifth event in the 2006 Need
For Speed Formula Drift Championship presented by Circuit City.
Competition continues August 19 at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA. 

 

ABOUT FORMULA DRIFT. Entering its third season, Formula Drift, produced
and wholly 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. A
well established sport in Japan for more than a decade, Formula Drift,
Inc. had the vision and was 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 have
included: Bridgestone Monterey Grand Prix/Champ Car Race, USAC, NASCAR
Busch North & Featherlite Southwest and the SPEED World Challenge, among
others. Basic rules and information about Formula Drift, as well as a
race schedule and ticket information, are available at www.formulad.com.
