- Monday Coverage from Formula Drift #FDLB
The
GReddy Racing Team was back on the Streets of Long Beach for the competition debut of the all new 800+hp 2JZ-powered
GReddy Performance x Hankook Tire x Scion Racing FR-S.
With back to back Long Beach events starting off the
2012 and
2013 seasons in
8th place, the team had high hopes to better the results and shoot for the team's first podium finish.
In early practice, GReddy driver,
Ken Gushi was impressing everyone, with his high speed, smooth transitions, aggressive angle, wide lines and big smoke... As shown in this instagram video posted by Formula Drift announcer,

The powerful new engine, chassis and driver performed faultlessly. Unfortunately being the debut event with this new car, there is still a learning curve to dialing in the car under full range of track conditions and changeable variables. This lead to a less then ideal
Qualifying (77pts.,19th) and
Top32 tandem battle (vs. Odi Bakchis).
Rest assured the
GReddy Team is already planning for more extensive testing to fully prepared for
Rd.2 in Road Atlanta, May 9-10. Thank you for your support!
