There was a great turn out for Formula Drift’s first event at Palm Beach International Raceway! The drivers put on an exciting show and the crowd was loud! As always, Enkei Wheels was well represented by all of our drivers! Ryan Tuerck made it to the Top 16 battle in his Red Bull Mobil1 Nitto Tire Camaro on Enkei RPF1 Racing Series Wheels!
Privateer Charles Ng also made it to Top 16 battle, along with 2008 FD champ Rhys Millen. Both running on Enkei PF01 Racing Series wheels!
Charles Ng was eliminated but Rhys moved on to the Top 8! Rhys Millen in his Red Bull Hyundai Genesis on Enkei PF01 wheels had a tough fought battle with rival 2010 champ Vaughn Gittin JR in the Top 8. Rhys was a little too aggressive on the second run and ended up hitting the second clipping point which prevented him from moving on.
Once the sun set and the rest of the battles were in books, it was an all Team Falken podium with Justin Pawlak winning 1st, Vaughn Gittin second and D-Mac in third. All in all a great event. A lot of sun, a crazy crowd, a bunch of cars on Enkei and awesome drifting! We are looking forward to Formula Drift New Jersey!! – Alex
