HELLO FD FANS

20 Years...where did it go? That’s what we have to say when we look at the life of Formula DRIFT, up to this point so far. That’s how long it has been since we fist took post at Road Atlanta on Mother’s Day Weekend in 2004 with a small staff and an idea. That’s how long it has been since we were fist working out of a home office and then ented our fist office in Irvine and then afer that to Long Beach, where we still are today. Over 200 events have been executed from that humble start and it’s all gone by in a flash

20 years means something special. It means we have gotten to a place that most people would dream of getting to, and yet, for me, I feel we are just getting started. The only reason to keep doing this is because there is more work to do. There are more people to expose to this great sport and there are more goals to accomplish.

That is why, the 21st season will be like no other.

First, what you will have noticed is that the legacy of single run qualifying is now in the history books. With the advent and inclusion of PROSPEC, we are at a moment where both series needs to work together to make the best product and that means going to an all-tandem competition. The best part of drifting now becomes everything over an event weekend. We start with a format, that while still merit based, allows all drivers in the Series to compete at the highest form of the sport and to think tandem-first as oon as they step on the hallowed grounds of Long Beach, Road Atlanta or Irwindale. This change is directly related to the quality of the product, but also to emphasize what we consider to be the “essence” of the sport. Two gladiators doing battle on the track in front of all the live fans and those watching on TV or the stream and so from start to finish these battles will be front and center.

No doubt, this will change things. No doubt stories will be made. No doubt this will put the heart of drifting front and center for the world to see.

In addition to that, there are so many other changes coming down the pike. We have the highest driver pool in our history. We have our much anticipated FD Unlocked Premium Experience launching and we will lean into our digital distribution and also our TV relationship with MAVTV. We also realize the importance of continuing to develop judging technologies, put out compelling content and increase the live event fan experience.

We are old enough to have a Hall of Fame now and we will welcome a new driver in 2024 to the wall of athletes who have made this sport great and have given it life, but without one special ingredient, none of this matters. That ingredient is you! The fans. The best fans in the world. The most loyal fans and the most passionate fans. We are here to give you the best of the sport that we have to offer and that is because we are inspired by you, live through your passion and are continually pushed by your love of Formula DRIFT. So cheers to you and to all those that have made this dream a reality.

Here is to the next 20 years!

DEAR FORMULA DRIFT FANS

Welcome to the latest edition of the Formula DRIFT Fan Guide by PASMAG! We're thrilled to be your trusted source for all things Formula Drift as we embark on another exhilarating season of high-octane drifting action.

As your drift editor here at PASMAG, it's an honor for me to help fans discover the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula DRIFT across the globe. My journey with drifting began at the SEMA show in 2005. Witnessing legendary drivers like Rhys Millen, Samuel Hubinette, Chris Forsberg and others ignited a lifelong passion within me. From those early days, I immersed myself in the world of drifting, transitioning from spectator to spotter in DMCC and Formula DRIFT. Now, as a competitor in Canada, I'm dedicated to bringing you unparalleled coverage and insights into the world of drifting.

The 2024 Formula DRIFT season promises to be action-packed, with thrilling battles and new developments on the horizon. This year, Formula DRIFT introduces a revamped qualifying format, eliminating solo runs in favor of a new system with automatically qualified driers based on standings, and seeding brackets for tandem battles to determine the final spots This exciting change will undoubtedly bring a new level of intensity and competition to the series.

Adding to the excitement are the new faces joining the Formula DRIFT grid, including the likes of Conor Shanahan, the 2023 Drift Masters European Championship winner, and Pro rookie Hiroya Minowa from Japan, at just 14 years old. These talented drivers, along with returning champions like James Deane, Fredric Aasbo, and Chris Forsberg, ensure that the competition will be fiecer than ever.

Together, let's celebrate the 2024 Formula DRIFT season and the incredible drivers who continue to push the limits of skill and performance. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or new to the sport, we're thrilled to have you join us on this exhilarating journey.

See you out there!

AUTO MANUFACTURER CUP & TIRE CUP

Formula DRIFT’s 2024 season will mark the twelfth consecutive year in which the Auto Manufacturer Cup and Tire Cup will be awarded. Introduced in 2013, these two complementary competitions serve as an additional battleground for their competitors. We all know the primary goal of all the drivers in the Formula DRIFT Pro and PROSPEC Championships: The podium. But beneath the surface of that competition you’ll be able to watch two other competitions happening simultaneously within the Formula DRIFT season. Earning that podium top spot is the obvious goal of competitors at each stop, but scoring points in the Auto Manufacturer Cup and Tire Cup can be equally important to drivers’ sponsors and industry recognition. For both of these competitions, the top two qualifying drivers eligible for each cup will contribute points at each round.

GT Radical for tires 1275 points Ford for manufacturers 1048 points 2023 WINNERS PASMAG.COM FORMULAD.COM 14

AUTO MANUFACTURER CUP

The Auto Manufacturer Cup is designed to showcase competition drift cars that utilize an engine powerplant that matches the manufacturer of its chassis.

At each round, the top two eligible drivers from each vehicle manufacturer will earn points towards that manufacturer’s points total standings. These drivers are not from a predetermined selection, nor do they need to remain the same from round

to round. Decisions regarding the engine and vehicle manufacturer eligibility will be determined by Formula DRIFT’s Technical Regulations Manager.

For the purpose of this competition, an eligible car can have an engine swap, but the engine itself must originate from the same manufacturer as the chassis. Ineligible cars will still score points as normal for the Formula DRIFT Championships and the Tire Cup.

TIRE CUP

In the motorsports world, competition among tire manufacturers has always been fiece, but until the Tire Cup championship was formally announced in Formula DRIFT’s 2013 season, it had never been recognized in its own sanctioned competition alongside the main championship. At each competition round, the top two drivers on each tire brand will earn points towards their respective tire manufacturer’s standings in the Tire Cup championship. Just like the Auto Manufacturer Cup, the top two drivers do not need to be predetermined, nor do they need to remain the same between rounds.

THE DRIVEN EXPERIENCE

FORMULA DRIFT PARTNERS WITH US AIR FORCE, UNOH, AND ACCELER8 FOR 2024 DRIVEN EXPERIENCE

In a new initiative for 2024, Formula DRIFT will launch The Driven Experience, which is designed to inspire school-age kids, introduce them to motorsports, and hopefully find poential career paths to give them a head start in life.

Formula DRIFT has secured a number of partners for the program, including Acceler8 Education; the Officialommunity Outreach Program of the series. With support from FD for the last three years, Acceler8 has already helped more than 1000 at-risk youth to discover fulfiling career opportunities. Their aim has been to help individuals to avoid being sucked into a life of crime and negative interactions

with law enforcement. Not only has the program been incredibly successful but FD will utilize the experience of the Acceler8 team to help organize and run the 2024 Driven Experience given their shared goals.

Additionally, as a major series sponsor, the United States Air Force will lend its support, helping people find a pssible career path within its ranks. While the University of Northwestern Ohio – the Officialducation Partner of Formula DRIFT – will be able to highlight its higher education opportunities, including its High Performance Motorsports program.

Acceler8 team members will be present at each round, assisted

by Air Force and FD staff. The team on the ground will not only supervise activities but also manage program sign-ups and event logistics to ensure students are able to attend. Each participant will be gifted a swag bag with promotional items. If you’re a school, youth organization or student who would be interested in attending the Formula DRIFT Driven Experience, please contact driven@acceler8education.org

WHAT'S NEW FOR 2024

After 20 years of competition, Formula DRIFT bids farewell to veteran staff members Judge Ryan Lanteigne and Race Control Director Pat Gentilli.

For its 21st season, Formula DRIFT will again have four judges in rotation throughout the year. Replacing Ryan Sage as a judge will be Philadelphia native, Reese Marin (USA). As an experienced driver, instructor, and competition spotter, Reese is both wellknown and respected, having played a major role in the grassroots drifting community and more recently served as Chelsea DeNofa’s spotter during his Championship-winning season. Furthermore, Reese has his own YouTube channel where he discusses drifting, judging, and breaks down many of the most intriguing battles between Formula DRIFT competitors. As such, he’s ideally suited to his new role as a series Judge and will take his seat alongside the second new appointment, Vernon Zwaneveld (Netherlands).

TOP THREE CHANGES FOR 2024

1. Tandem-only events

2.Brackets based on previous event results

3.Two new judges

Photography by Larry Chen
PASMAG.COM FORMULAD.COM 18

Vernon has been a longstanding Judge with the Drift Masters European Championship. He’s among the most active and experienced, having judged more than 38 international drift events in 2023 alone. As a stuntman and drift instructor, he continues to shape the future of the exhilarating sport globally and brings years of firsthan experience. Vernon and Reese will sit alongside veteran Formula DRIFT Judges Brian Eggert (USA) and Robbie Nishida (Japan) on a rotating basis, with three judges participating in each round.

NEW COMPETITION FORMAT

Another important change for this year is the change in qualifying format. For 2024, there will be no single qualifying runs - all qualifying will be tandem. This change will ensure the timing is roughly equal at each event. To that end, there will be three qualifying formats: one for 32 or fewer competitors, one for 33-40 competitors, and one for 41-48 competitors. For PRO, the drivers that finish the pevious event in the top 24 will be automatically given a place in the top 32 for the next event. It's important to note this is event ranking, not season ranking, so it really makes a difference how you finish at ay one event. The “unseeded” drivers will compete on Friday in a Top 16 bracket, where the drivers finising in the top 8 positions will advance to Saturday’s Top 32. This should create a merit-based system that is even more exciting for fans to watch.

“For 2024, there will be no single qualifying runs - all qualifying will be tandem. This change will ensure the timing is roughly equal at each event.”

DEAN KEARNEY

TEAM NAME: Team Karnage

CAR NUMBER: 43

CAR NAME: Hyper Society / Kumho Tire Dodge Viper

HOMETOWN: Tramore, Ireland

RESIDENCE: Huntington Beach, CA

Dean Kearney started drifting at the early age of just 16 years old. After being introduced to the sport by his older brother, who bought him his firs drift car - a Nissan Silvia S14 back in 2005 - Dean knew that he wanted to pursue a career in drifting no matter what he had to do to make that happen. Fast-forward to 2009 - Dean was still hungry to make drifting a career no matter how ridiculous that may have sounded at the time. One night he even went to the extreme of stealing the engine out of his older brothers' drift car so that he could put it into his own car, where he would go on to win the European drift championship dubbed the "Super Series" that same year. The prize for becoming the champion that year was a guaranteed drive in the #1 drift championship in the world - Formula DRIFT. At the age of 21, Dean would pilot the Intec Racing Nissan S14 at Irwindale Speedway in October of 2009 where he would qualify in 33rd position, just narrowly missing out on competition battle. Dean managed to secure a full-season drive for Intec Racing the following year, where his dreams of pursuing drifting as a career began to feel achievable. In 2011, Dean became the second driver in Samuel Hubinette's team, where he would drive the factory-sponsored Dodge Viper for the first tim.Today, 13 years later, Dean is now a Formula DRIFT vet & still pilots the unforgiving Dodge Viper chassis where he is only one of two drivers worldwide to do so.

The 2024 Formula DRIFT season will take place at eight different race facilities throughout America over the course of eight months, but the action and entertainment will be available even more frequently than the events themselves. For the main events, all eight rounds will be covered on live stream events broadcasted around the world, which will give viewers worldwide the chance to get up close and personal with the Formula DRIFT circuit from the comfort of their own homes. In addition to the regular broadcasts, several hours of new digital content will be available throughout the season, available on Formula DRIFT's online outlets, including their website, as well as social media channels. If you miss an event, don’t sweat it! The Formula DRIFT live stream portal will feature archives from the entire season, available for replay almost immediately after the initial broadcast.

All Formula Drift Live Streams will be available on Formula Drift’s website, and social media pages.
