NOTE: Due to me being on vacation for the last 4 days, everything will be set to August 5, August 6, August 7
On August 7, 2016, I will be holding The First Annual Formula Drift Protégé Tournament at Long Beach. This tournament is a tribute to all of the Formula Drift drivers that keep us young drifters intrigued and entertained while shredding tires.
For this tournament, drivers will be running the 2016 Formula Drift Cars and Paint Schemes for the event. They are going to be representing that driver throughout the event.
Now, due to the lack of it being 32 drivers in the multiplayer lobbies, we will have 16 drivers drifting in the event.
These are the Formula Drift Drivers that you can get. Note: due to him not being in Formula Drift for 5 years straight, I think it will make those FD fans very proud to see him in the competition. So Tanner Foust’s 2008 Nissan 350z will be up for grabs.
