Clipping Point: Interview’s with todays top drifting stars, industry insiders & upcoming grassroots drifters.
Kyle Mohan has been in the Formula Drift circuit for 2 years now. Stepping up his game since he first came out 2 seasons ago, and still maintaining himself as a privateer. As he enters his 3rd season as a Professional Formula Drift driver. Kyle is changing platforms and moving into a Mazda RX-8 from his previous years of being in FC. We caught up with Kyle as we head into the beginning of the season, and ask him about the new platform, his outlook on the upcoming season and the budget crisis.
Samuel Hübinette is a 2 time former champion in Formula Drift. Racing in the Nuformz/Mopar® Dodge Viper in which he won those 2 championships in. Changed up from last year’s Mopar® Dodge Charger in which he still placed high up in Formula Drift. As we head into Round7: The Finals. Sam is currently 26 points behind last year’s Champion Tanner Foust. We caught up with Sam at round 6 in Sonoma prior to the event to ask him how it feels to be back in what has proven to be a winning platform, drifting abroad in Mexico & when are we going to finally see the Dodge Challenger.
Rhys Millen has been at the top ranks of American drifting for years. In 2007, Millen replaced the Corvette-powered GTO he was comfortable in with a smaller, more agile, turbocharged 4-cylinder Solstice roadster, and struggled to find his way back to the top. Though finding the lowest rung on the podium at the third Formula Drift event last year at Summit Point, and 2nd place at Formula Drift NJ, Rhys continued to fight gremlins through the rest of the season and couldn’t find his way back to the top of the podium. Finally, at Formula Drift Atlanta this year, the bugs were gone and Rhys made his way back to the top rung of the podium, with new teammate Dai Yoshihara making top 4 as well. We took an opportunity to catch up with Rhys about his car, his new teammate, and the rest of the season.
