Default Holy smokes! Forumula D (American D1GP) 14pics

Forumula D, the Americano version of D1GP. Disappionting, none of the top drifters were at the event, Keiichi, Wakuwaku-san, Katsuhiro Ueo, even Taniguchi was absent. Forumla D is very different then D1GP. If you can only attend one event out of the year, then this one can pass...but here are the pictures S15/R34/350Z is worth seeing.

They probably just pulled the fuse that sends power to the front wheels?

Thanks for the compliments. I only wish the S15 is avilable here at US dealers. Not sure about the drive setup for the Skyline.

I scouted the "S" turn most of the time. Was swamped by a bunch of people and couldn't get most of the panning shots I wanted. Did you apply for a press/media pass?

It slammed against the S turned and went splat! Drive tried to restart it a few times but that thing just wouldn't power up. Weird isn't it? You knock a Silvia into a few walls and it'll still start up and run. If I'm not mistaken, I believe this Silvia did run better after a few hits.



even this S2k was running fine.

A buddy and I agreed that it is cursed. They should just stop now or just open their own bodyshop.



The AEM Z was being painted the same time mine was at MOB Works. Miguel and his crew did a clean job on it.
