Formula DRIFT at Road Atlanta was a great event. The crowd was as enthusiastic as we’ve ever seen one. Unfortunately, our team ran into some minor issues. During practice, Charles Ng was clipped by another driver and one of the front control arms snapped. Our staff was up late all night fixing the issue. Much thanks to Ron Bergenholtz and Bergenholtz Racing and Kevin Wells of Team NOS for their help.

Luckily, Charles still qualified for the competition. Charles Ng went heads up against Ken Gushi. Gushi won the first lap, but Charles made a great run during the second. It was suspensfully close. The crowd wanted them to go one more time, but the judges made the final decision with Gushi winning and moving from the top 32 to the top 16. Here’s video footage of the matchup.

Congratulations to Dai Yoshihara for taking first place at Atlanta. We’ll be going to West Palm Beach for Round 3, so join in on the fun and come cheer on Charles Ng and our team! If you’re in the pits, please stop by and say hi to Charles and check out his Mazda FC RX-7.
