Formula DRIFT kicks-off their 6th season on the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Street Course

The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Street Course has been around since 1977. Highlighted by IndyCar, American Le Mans Series, The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race, Speed GT, and now Formula DRIFT.

Formula DRIFT is now it’s 5th straight year at the famous Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Street Course and has expanded to have their own event one week prior to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. The annual Team Drift event will follow the following weekend during the Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 16-18.

Utilizing Turns 9, 10, and 11 of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Street Course, Formula DRIFT slides its way on the only actual street course utilized for drifting. With a high-speed entry and very tight spacing between the cars and walls, there is no room for mistakes, making the opening round of the Formula DRIFT season one of the most exciting drift events of the year.

The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Street Course is the only track on the circuit that is held on actual city streets making it a one of a kind event. This event also features: the new Fatlace One of One Showcase car show, a huge vendor village, give-aways, driver autograph sessions, Open Pits to see the cars and stars up close and personal, and much much more!

Round 1: Streets of Long Beach will kick-off the 2010 Professional Championship season in style with new cars, new drivers, and all the sideways excitement that Formula DRIFT is known for. Champion Chris Forsberg will be back to defend his title against all competitors including 2-time champions Tanner Foust and Samuel Hubinette along with Vaughn Gittin Jr., Ryan Tuerck, Tyler McQuarrie, Rhys Millen, and the rest of the talented pool of drivers.

Don’t miss out on the exciting 2010 Formula DRIFT Season Opener on April 9-10!

I went out for Media Day to support Matt Powers (sponsored by Jordan Innovations this year, whoo whoooooooooooooooooo), and he was KILLING IT. Look for Mattycakes to newly refinished S14 to rock your world this season.

^Jeff thats awesome to hear man! You do some seriously good work!

Anyone have an extra ticket for Formula D just for saturday? Drifting.com gave me one ticket, I didn't know for sure because I asked for two, but they never answered until today, and when I went online they are pretty much sold out. I just need one ticket. PM me if you do please! I had already told the gf that we were going together and planned it all out with her.

Lol! I started doing that too, but then I decided to wait to see if anyone would PM me or email.

In which later on finally they started working again. I think ticketmaster was down for maitenance or something that night I tried to buy them. Anyways I'm good to go now and will be there with my GF on saturday only. We will probably have completely different seats but last time I just snuck around the dudes and got to where I needed to go. Reserved seating is so dumb in my opinion...
