Day 2 of Formula Drift Round 1 was one to be remembered. With previous winners and champions looking to secure a win, no one would ever have predicted a Driver from Ireland James Deane to take the 1st place podium. Not until the Great 8 that you kinda knew it would either be Matt Coffman, Alex Heilbrunn, Chris Forsberg, Ryan Tuerck, Odi Bakchis, Dean Kearney, or the 2015 FD Champion Fredric Aasbo. […]
Building a team always requires more than picking people from the crowd. When I first started Motolyric I always had the intentions of building a network of like-minded, and goal driven individuals. Through the years, I’ve met, friend-ed and created some solid relationships with some people in both photography and Motorsports. But it’s always a major big plus, if they were passionate as I was in both. […]
If you’re reading this, you’re probably at SEMA or WCF and I was suppose to go to both of those. But without getting you lost in other stories, I stayed behind to finish this feature, and gallery before the big Global Time Attack x Super Lap Battle coming on November 10-11th. As a huge enthusiast and supporter of Time Attack, I have always wanted to go to the “World Time Attack Challenge” in Australia. For years watching and reading up on the stories, the cars, drivers and the experience magnified me to make it happen. Well, I finally did it in 2016, and it was a tough decision since I also wanted to do those other events I mentioned, and some major ones, like the Formula 1 USGP Race, or the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2017. But being on a budget and trying to do some of these events can be hard, and since Time Attack has taken my heart for the longest, I knew I had to go to WTAC at least once. First and foremost the Australian people along with the New Zealanders I met and made friends with during this trip are some of the coolest people I have ever met. Truly friendly and talked about cars and racing during breaks was never ending. […]
The end of another year, and the beginning of another book that solidifies the pro drift series of Formula Drift. What turned out to be a total different story in the end, when the 2016 championship was going to be decided between last year’s champ Fredric Aasbo and 2 time champ Chris Forsberg, with also a possible Vaughn Gittin Jr. to take it if the cards played in his favor. But if history has taught us anything, is that Irwindale always changes the game right in front of us, and gives us what we never expected. In the top 32, Forsberg takes it away from Faruk Kugay easily since Kugay was supposedly down on power. […]
Nothing can ever replace the great memories I have with this round every year. Formula D at Road Atlanta is the best, and I know I always say that every year, but it’s the damn truth. In conjunction with Global Time Attack on the same days, it’s almost a perfect combination of Motorsports. With a interesting battle among the best in the World, Vaughn Gittin Jr. worked his way with what some may say a perfect drift to the finals. After taking out Tyler McQuarrie, Dai Yoshihara and Chris Forsberg he clenched a 1st place podium on this round making him a possible champ for the season. […]
There’s a time and a place for everything. So they say, but for me Drifting will and always be home for me at Road Atlanta. I say it every year and for every enthusiast if you haven’t been to Road Atlanta for Round 2 Formula Drift then you haven’t seen it all. Plus, you get to be part of the Global Time Attack Pro Championship as part of the combo. All I’m saying is save a little more, buy your tickets in advance, and get reservations at cheaptickets.com months prior and it’ll be more affordable than you think. […]
