Red Bull World Championships Drivers List – the most complete list to date!!

Posted on September 21, 2008 by jacob

Over the last 3 years, EverythingDrift has forged careful relationships with sanctioning bodies, drivers, and media outlets. These relationships have all come to a peak for the upcoming Red Bull World Championships. Through our relationships, we’ve been able to assemble a nearly-complete list of drivers who are competing for the upcoming Red Bull World Championships.

Here is the most complete list of who will be competing at the Red Bull World Championships. Many of these announcements are previously un-announced in North America!

14 of the 16 positions from Formula D are locked in after Formula D Sonoma:

1 Tanner Foust 504
2 Sam Hubinette 478
3 Rhys Millen 448
4 Dai Yoshihara 423
5 Chris Forsberg 403
6 Ryan Tuerck 389
7 Michihiro Takatori 381
8 Conrad Grunewald 294.25
9 Robbie Nishida 255.25
10 Vaugn Gittin 238.5
10 Ryuji Miki 238.5
12 Darren McNamara 237

14 Ken Gushi 222.5

The last 2 positions, as they stand now:

15 Kyle Mohan 181.5
16 Kenji Yamanaka 166.5

These 5 drivers have an opportunity to make the top 16 for Red Bull with a solid finish at Irwindale, and non top-16 finishes from Yamanaka or Mohan:

17 Bill Sherman 147.25
18 Kazu Hayashida 123
19 Tony Angelo 113
