When they boys bought Cosworth, they mentioned that it was their intention to break into the Tuner-market.
And then we had a thread about "Offseason Predictions" - in which I mentioned that I could foresee "Drifting" as being a support event at ChampCar events in 2005.
Well... If LongBeach is any example, I may have been right...
Quote:
The Inaugural Long Beach Drifting Challenge, conducted in conjunction with Champ Car and Formula Drift, will be the first time Drifting has ever appeared (legally!) on city streets and the first Drifting demonstration to take place around the entire length of a race circuit.
“I believe this will be an exciting new addition to our race weekend that will not only be the first-ever full-course Drifting competition, but will also attract a whole new audience to our event,” said Jim Michaelian, President/CEO of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach.
