RESULTS FROM FD PRO COMPETITION

- Fredric Aasbo (Norway) – Rockstar Energy Drink Toyota GR Supra
- Matt Field (USA) – Falken Tire / Drift Cave Chevrolet Corvette
NOTES
- FD Erie took place at Lake Erie Speedway – a new venue for the FD PRO series that is popular with grassroots drift drivers in the Great Lakes area
- Winner DeNofa is the first driver in the 2021 season to score two wins, which jumped him from fourth to second in the FD PRO Championship table
- Second-placed Aasbo won his Top 4 heat against reigning FD PRO Champion, Vaughn Gittin Jr (USA) in the Monster Energy Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5-D, despite suffering broken rear suspension on the second run. With Gittin ruled incomplete, Aasbo’s team was unable to effect repairs before the Final, so conceded the Round 4 win to DeNofa
- Field’s third place finish meant his lead in the 2021 FD PRO Championship was reduced to 19 points
- Top qualifier, Adam LZ (USA) in the LZ S15, finished ninth after being knocked out of the Top 16 heats by DeNofa
- Top placed FD PRO Rookie was Josh Reynolds (USA) who finished 19th driving the Drift Force / Nexen Tire F22 Eurofighter BMW
