Formula DRIFT Thailand Results
The inaugural Formula Drift Thailand, presented by Goodyear, ended with a climactic battle as “Mad Mike” Whiddett, New Zealand’s champion drifter, and 2004 D1 Japan Grand Prix winner Ryuji Miki competed head to head in a final showdown last weekend.
Ultimately, Mad Mike was declared the winner after a heart-stopping three-round battle. Third place honors went to Malaysian drifter Tengku Djan, who was the 2009 Formula Drift Singapore champion last July.
“Mad Mike” Whiddett, drifting with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires, overcame an equally gruelling knockout round with Tengku Djan in wet weather conditions as the rain poured before the Final Four began.

“NEW SERIES INFO RELEASE” – Xtreme Drift Circuit Formed for 2010
XTREME DRIFT CIRCUIT FORMED FOR 2010
-Nationwide drifting championship will showcase rising drift stars and feature lifestyle events across the country
November 9, 2008 (Tustin, Calif.) — With an eye on developing the future drifting stars of America, the Xtreme Drift Circuit has been formed and will kick off its first championship season in 2010.
As the professional drifting landscape has progressed, there has been a groundswell of drivers that have the potential to compete at the highest levels of the sport but haven’t had the chance to demonstrate their potential. The XDC will offer these drivers a chance to shine with a championship series that will be run to professional standards and will subsidize the costs of competition to the drivers – making the XDC a professional drifter’s first step to achieving their dreams.
The XDC will be an affiliate series of the Formula Drift Pro Championship, placing the winner of each event into the Pro-Am Nationals at the end of the season. The top three drivers in the season championship will also have a spot in the Pro-Am Nationals, providing an elevated avenue of competition for drivers who cannot yet make the jump from regional competition into a professional national series.
