Gardella Racing - Redbull - Mobil1 Formula Drift Camaro Debuts in Atlanta
Has anyone read/posted this yet? I used to be a drift fan back in the mid-late 90s. Good to see these guys who have had a lot of success take a 5th Gen Camaro to competition finally. Last year I think their driver placed third overall.
Looks like the new Formula Drift Camaro will debut at Atlanta this weekend. Heres some info I found. From the Press Release: Quote:

It's amazing to see Camaro in this type of race. Since most of the competitors are lighter (or in Mustang's case a light axles)... doesn't that start Camaro in a disadvantage point if both drivers are equally good?

Very kewl!! ^.^ I was really big into this years ago in my rx7, its so much fun to do, and watch. I hit up a few cornors recently just to see how the camaro handled ^.^ it wasn't a surprise it went well . any car can "drift" is a matter of how good the driver is at such a task and knowning the limits of said car/setup or not.

It's cool but I still can not see why this is a sport? I guess I just answered my own question, cool sells.
