With the Formula DRIFT Championship on the line and a chance to earn a limited spot in the Red Bull Drifting World Championships, the drivers let it all hang out and provided the jam-packed crowd one of the most competitive and exciting competitions ever.
Formula DRIFT history was made this weekend as Vaughn Gittin, Jr. won his first event ever and Tanner Foust was announced as the first Formula DRIFT back to back champion. The Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, also known as the "House of Drift," played host to an energetic sell-out crowd that also witnessed Rhys Millen and his Red Bull Pontiac Solstice take home a second Tires.com Triple Crown bonus prize of $10,000, a custom Fender guitar, and a hand blown glass trophy.
The top 16 drivers from Tanner Foust to Justin Pawlak have qualified for the first ever Red Bull Drifting World Championships which take place at the Port of Long Beach on November 15-16. Here, the Formula DRIFT drivers will meet the top drivers in the world to compete for the biggest prize purse in drifting history. For the complete standings head over to FormulaD.com
