GReddy Event Coverage from Formula Drift Rd.5
Ken Gushi and the GReddy Performance x Hankook Tire x Scion Racing FR-S maintain 4th place in the 2015 Formula Drift Pro Championships, making up a few points over 2-3place contenders.
(Offer Ends July 28th)
Leading up to Round 5 in the Pacific North West, Ken took over the FormulaD instagram to show some of the team's preparations for the Seattle event. #gushitakeover
Ken also introduced a limited edition Ken Gushi x Formula D collaboration T-shirt and Hoodie.
At Evergreen Speedway the refreshed GReddy Racing FR-S was strong right off the trailer for Thursday's open practice.
The GReddy Team also got a visit from a special guest, Fast and Furious star, Sung Kang (AKA Han)
However when Friday came, so did the wet weather. On a very difficult dry/wet track Ken, scored the second highest in Qualifying run 1. He also scored even better in a dry Qualifying run 2, securing the 4th position in the Top32 Tandem brackets.
In Top32, Ken easily moved passed the Wicknick's 2JZ powered S13. And it was beginning shape up to be a golden opportunity with the number 1 and 2 FD championship points leaders going out early in the Top32 bracket.
Ken and our GReddy model, theVivs, meet many fans from the Pacific North West during the FD half-time break.
The Top16 match up was against McQuarrie's Gopro Camero. Although it was a close match, a small technical difficulty meant the car was not at it's normal 100%. Gushi ran hard anyways, but was eliminated earlier than we had all hoped.
The final result was 10th.
Next event will be at the Texas Motorspeedway on Aug. 21-22

GReddy Event Coverage from Formula Drift Rd.4
Ken Gushi and the GReddy Performance X Hankook Tire X Scion Racing FR-S Team, place 5th in Round 4 of the Formula Drift, #FDNJ, to hold the 4th position in the Pro Championships...
With near perfect runs, Gushi scores back to back Top Qualifier results in #FDOrlando and #FDNJ.
The #1 spot in Wall, New Jersey was Ken's 2nd the REV'D (Energy Bar) Killer Qualifier award in a row. (video clip)
Unfortunately the unpredictable weather conditions of Saturday's main event, made the 1st spot a little bit of a disadvantage, having to be part of the first group of tandem battles in the eliminations.
Dailymotion Livestream Replay from FDNJ
Top 32 started off on a windy but dry course with one of the closest battles of the day for the GReddy Team, with Ken going against the aggressive driving of Nate Hamilton and his turbo V8 S13. But a great run on the bank with lots of angle by Gushi got the approval of the Judges to move on.
After the Formula Drift half time break and opening ceremonies, Ken took on the supercharged V8 S14 of Matt Field. On a super slick track, Ken taps the guardrail on the lead run initiation onto the bank but keeps going, unfortunately Field ends up spinning. Ken follows with a safe chase run until Field spins again, giving Gushi the win.
The Great8 battle paired up the two 2JZ powered FR-S in the series, Ken Gushi vs. Ryan Tuerck. With the wet but drying track, it wasn't the cleanest run for Ken in the lead position, so when it was time for Ken to chase, he attacked like he was in his practice "missile" car.
This following run by Ken was probably one of the most enjoyable runs to watch in the wet. check out this fan video for the door to door run...(video clip)
With 3 more round in this year's series, look for the GReddy Team to charge hard for valuable qualifying results and that top step of the podium in our chase for the Championship.

Ken Gushi keeps the podium streak alive in FD Orlando
This moves the Gushi into 4th position for the Series Championship and extends the leads for the Scion and Hankook in the Manufacturer's and Tire Manufacturer's Cups.
From there, the Team moved on to the newest Formula Drift venue, Orlando Speed World. Being a new track, with new challenges, the team worked quickly to get the car dialed-in to Ken's liking. Although the layout seemed pretty simple, the changeable weather and multiple bumps in the track made it tricky and very hard on suspension components. The KW suspension proved to be a big advantage in Orlando.
In Friday Qualifying, Ken laid down an impressive 92pt run, which could not be beat. This gave Ken the Top Qualifier spot. This would also later, prove to be essential in locking down the podium spot over Matt Field, scoring just one point behind in qualifying and finishing 4th. (“3rd place in the overall competition is decided based on the highest qualifier of the two losing competitors in the Final Four.")As Saturday arrived, Ken and the Team were feeling confident, but the unpredictable rain could easily complicate matters. Luckily the weather was perfectly dry for the win against Mohan's 3rotor RX8 in Top32, the Half Time Break and the Opening Ceremonies.
In main 16 bracket eliminations, it started off dry for Ken's lead run against Moen's 2JZ S14, but due to some strange starting line events, the chase run had to wait until after a heavy rain delay. In the wet, Ken drove a smart follow run to move on to the next round.
In the Best 8 the track was beginning to dry off on the bank, but the infield was still very wet and tricky. Ken controlled the FR-S perfectly, but Hohnadel in his V8 S14 was not able to keep control on the wet infield.
This set up the possibility for another amazing Semi Final rematch against fellow Hankook Tire driver Chris Forsberg and his VK-V8 370Z.
Again there were fireworks with this match up. Ken drove a strong lead lap, with Forsberg fairly close behind. In the chase, Gushi decided to escalate the battle and showed incredible proximity on the bank, unfortunately, it might have been just a little too much, when the 370Z gave more angle to exit the bank. This cause the two to make contact and a huge flame irrupted from the Z, bring out a Red Flag. (see our instagram for a clip) Eventually the judges rule against Ken, resulting in a 3rd place finish in Round 3.
Congratulations to FD Orlando event winners: 1st Ryan Tureck & 2nd Chris Forsberg
