About Formula D Racing
Formula D is the United States' drifting series. It is the American equivalent of drifting's premier championship in Japan, the D1 Grand Prix.
The series is sponsored by the popular video game series, Need for Speed. Its official name is Need for Speed Formula Drift Presented by Circuit City. It was inaugurated in 2004, and is a division of the Sports Car Club of America.
There is also a Formula D in Australia, which was announced in June 2005. The three tracks Formula D Australia visited in 2005 are Mallala Motorsport Park in South Australia, Oran Park Raceway in New South Wales, and Winton Raceway in Victoria. The series is held in conjunction with the DRIFT AUSTRALIA Championship.
The American Formula D series has more tire manufacturers than any other motor racing series in the world, with nine manufacturers (Nitto Tires, Toyo Tires, Bridgestone Tires, Maxxiss Tires, Federal Tires, Falken Tires, Cooper Tires, Dunlop Tires, Hankook Tires, and Kumho Tires) and tend to attract Japanese ex-D1GP drivers.
