Formula DRIFT Round 7 TITLE FIGHT Championship Part 1

Another Round 7 another year. It’s been more than a few years since Formula Drift was first introduced in the US. It really has been a long time coming. Since the beginning of the 2011 season, we’ve watched pro drifters and their cars transform and improve. We’ve also seen underdogs ousting top contenders for the highly sought after podium spots. Round after round, we’ve watched it all unfold. It’s been an exciting year and we can safely assume that next season will be even better than 2011. Since the excitement has ended we can all reminisce on how Round 7 played out and how the season ended overall. All we can say is that Round 7 was the best of them. This will be part one of two from our Formula Drift Round 7 TITLE FIGHT Qualifying and Championship coverage. If over 500 photos in this post alone isn’t enough for you, then we don’t know what is.

Well start off with the 2011 champion Dai Yoshihara. He’s had an amazing journey through out his drift career. We’ve all watched him grow and it was time he received his well-deserved championship. It was a close one since he was eliminated from the top 16 during this round. The crowd nearly had a heart attack.

Another Japanese drifter, Ken Gushi, in his flashy Scion TC. One of these years will be his. His aggressive style is on par with Dai’s

Something about American muscle that makes drifting look so menacing. You seriously do not want to be so close in tandem with a howling V8 right up next to you.

The Fatlace drift cars as flashy as usual.

What?! A drifting cop car? Yep. Unfortunately we were not able to catch him with his lights on since he crashed during qualifying. He was hospitalized and we wish him the best of luck recovering.
