The first round of Formula DRIFT was a pretty exciting event. After weeks of preparation and testing, Charles Ng well qualified in his Mazda FC. Currently, Charles is ranked 19th. We’re going to be making some more changes to the car before round 2 in Georgia. Stay tuned for a refreshed look of the vehicle as well. We’ve already started by integrating a custom Voltex 1800mm GT wing to help keep the car steady during Charles’ rubber burning passes.
In addition to the regular Formula DRIFT event, there was also a team drift competition during the closing days of the Long Beach Grand Prix. This event consisted of multiple team drivers drifting in tandem, synchronizing moves, judged by factors such as driving lines, speed, and style. Team Mazda took first place in this competition. Congrats to Charles Ng, Kyle Mohan, and Joon Maeng for their accomplishment!
Stay tuned for round 2. Even if you can’t make it to the event, you can watch the live stream on the Formula DRIFT website on May 6-7.
