Formula DRIFT kicks-off the 8th championship 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 Formula 1, IndyCar, American Le Mans Series, The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race, and now Formula DRIFT.

2011 will be Formula DRIFT's 6th consecutive year at the famous Street Course. The expanded 2-day event will again be one week prior to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.

Utilizing Turns 9, 10, and 11 of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Street Course, Formula DRIFT slides its way on one of two actual street course utilized for professional drifting; the other is the Formula DRIFT Asia event which is held on Singapore's F1 Street Course. 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.

This event also features: the new Slammed Society Car Show presented by Fatlace, a huge vendor village, tons of giveaways from sponsors, driver autograph session, 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 2011 Championship season in style with new cars, new drivers, and all the sideways excitement that Formula DRIFT is known for. Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. will be back to defend his title against all competitors including Ryan Tuerck, Dai Yoshihara, Chris Forsberg, Rhys Millen, and the rest of the talented pool of drivers.

Don't miss out on the exciting 2011 Formula DRIFT Season Opener on April 8-9!

Ticket links are posted above. As far as seating tickets are being sold for main grand 18 which is the best seats. Then once Grand Stand 18 is sold out we will move on to the next grand stands. I highly recommend purchasing Reserved Seating over a GA ticket, hence GA ticket you will be only seeing the last turn, which is the hair pin turn.

As for VIP ticket you will get a Friday General Admission ticket and saturday you get Grand Stand 18 reserved seat and VIP Suite Access, which is on turn 10.

Hope this answers your question.
