The 2013 rulebook had five major changes and passing is the final link in these changes. This last one refers to passing which had a few errors in judgement or result over the 2012 season in my opinion. The Tyler McQuarrie and Joon Maeng debacle at Road Atlanta comes to mind as a poor use of the...

Another small change made to the 2013 rulebook is the elimination of whole numbers from style, line, and angle categories of drifting. This keeps the scoring system a little less complex moving into 2013. The speed is based from a median of practice speeds in the field during practice. Below is...

The rulebook has even more changes for the new 2013 drift season. Here are a plethora of ways you can now throw away a race officially either in qualifying or tandem runs during the weekend. In theory these should make some judging calls much more black and white (hitting a cone for example)...

Formula Drift released quite a few notes about changes to the rulebook during the 2013 season. One of them is the rebranding of the 5 minute rule to a “Competition TimeOut.” The good news for fans is that teams are no longer allowed to leave the hot pit (area where cars are on grid for...

So this is complete speculation/guessing at this point but we have a good feeling that Ryan Tuerck will also be in a Scion FRS for the 2013 season. He is following after Otto Graven, Toshiki Yoshioka, and Tony Angelo who are all bringing BRZ/FRS to the track for new cars in 2013 but his comes...

The knockout qualifying rules put quite a spin on the 2013 season of Formula Drift. The new rulebook on page 18 highlights all the changes to the KO style qualifying round. A quick summary is the top 16 drivers will be locked in on the first qualifying run and parking them for the rest of...

We have some solid confirmations from several sources that the Bergenholtz Racing program will not continue into the 2013 season. The program as of now hasn’t been green lite with sponsors for the season and it seems like they will be gone at this point in time for 2013. Our sources tell us that...

While 2012 was a great season for XDC including crowning Forrest Wang as champion, the staff for 2013 will be very different. Mike Collins, who stepped in as competition director when Brian Eggert made the jump to judging in Formula D, as well as Chief Steward Tim Johnsrud, Tech Inspector Dan...

Vaughn Gittin Jr is doing some demos at the St. Louis Auto Show this weekend, and we had a feeling he may reveal his new livery at this event. Turns out we were right as Jarod Deanda has posted a photo on social media of the new look as the first demo of the day got started this morning. It...

Sadly it appears the 2013 Formula Drift schedule will lose Las Vegas Motor Speedway and it will be replaced with Texas Motor Speedway during the same time frame. Quite a bummer to still be at seven events for 2013 and otherwise the schedule has no major changes. Here is the season list below...
