Formula D drifting also known as just drifting has become a fairly large sport so far since 2004. The sport has gained popularity since then and can be seen live on G4TV. The pro drivers are training all year for the formula D championship. When the formula D championship is held there are about 50 drifters that are competing to be known as the best drifter in the United States. As like all other pro races they take place on tracks around the U.S.
People think that racing is racing and its all the same well drifting is different and isn’t really racing. As drifting becomes more and more famous there will be more and more tracks to be built to handle all the events.

To be a fan you just need to give support to the sport of drifting. Maybe you know nothing of it maybe you know everything but all it takes is thought and love for the sport. If you are looking to get into drifting the sport requires you to have a RWD car in case you don’t know what that is it’s a rear wheel drive car, and you should also have a LSD which is a limited slip differential and will allow you to get into drifts easier. Most of the cars you will see in the formula D championship will be 240sx’s, or any other RWD cars.
