Feel the Heat | May 9th - 10th
Formula DRIFT heats up for the Round 2 at the site of the first ever Formula DRIFT event back in 2004.
Road Atlanta opened in 1970 and was home of the inaugural Formula DRIFT event back in 2004. The 2.54-mile, 12-turn track is owned by Panoz Motorsports and hosts many events throughout the year including Formula DRIFT.
Utilizing Turns 9, 10A, and 10B of the road course, cars slide sideways through the turns and then hit the loop before the Suzuki bridge and back towards Turns 10B, 10A, and then ends dramatically by drifting uphill on an incline.
Round 2: Feel the Heat will leave up to its name in more ways than one with temperatures reaching the high 80's and drivers aggressively chasing each other looking to be crowned the next Formula DRIFT Champion. Round 2 will not fail to disappoint.
Known for its incline drifting and loop many drivers have been put to the test. Samuel Hubinette by far won in both 2004 and 2005, with Tanner Foust receiving his first win in 2006, and Tires.com Triple Crown Champion Chris Forsberg taking home the victory last year in 2007.
Who will win this year? Statistics have shown that by winning this event a championship is in the future. Find out on May 9-10!
