EVENT: Formula D Wall, NJ 2013 – Main Competition

The 2013 Formula Drift season has been full of controversy and questionable calls. Road Atlanta was more like a demolition derby, and Palm Beach saw the first legal overtakes in years.

EVENT: Formula Drift Round 2: The Road to the Championship

The first round of the 2012 Formula Drift season had shown that last season's form was no fluke when Justin Pawlak powered to the top of the podium.
