ormula DRIFT Round 4 The Gauntlet Results;
Fredric Aasbo is Victorious
Long Beach, Calif. June 28, 2015 Formula DRIFT presented by GoPro returned to Wall Speedway in Wall Township, New Jersey for Round 4: The Gauntlet. Fredric Aasbo in the Rockstar Energy Drink / Hankook Scion tC takes the victory and moves into third place in the standings.
Round 4: The Gauntlet saw challenging conditions due to the inclement weather. The varying dry and wet conditions on the track, through the event, created an additional element that the drivers had to overcome in order to advance through the rounds of competition. The action was competitive with many close battles. 300,000 fans tuned in through the event weekend on the Driftstream.
As we approach the halfway point of the season we are in the tightest race for the championship with only 7 points separating the top three drivers, said Jim Liaw, President of Formula DRIFT. With only three events remaining in the season, the championship is still up for grabs. We expect the championship to come down to the wire in one of the most exciting seasons to date.
The semi-finals saw Ryan Tuerck in the Retaks / Maxxis / Nameless Performance Scion FR-S battle it out against Dean Kearney in the Oracle Lighting / Achilles Motorsports Dodge Viper. Kearney edged out Tuerck to advance to the Finals. Fredric Aasbo faced off against Masashi Yokoi and after a close battle, Aasbo took the victory to face Kearney. Consistency in the wet condition proved to be the deciding factor for Aasbo as he was able to take his second consecutive victory at Wall Speedway moving into third place in the chase for the championship only 7 points behind the leader. Tuerck with his third place finish rises to the top of the standings by a mere point over Aurimas Bakchis in second place.
What an amazing win! We are back in the hunt for the championship and I couldnt be happier, said Fredric Aasbo, winner of Round 4: The Gauntlet. Big thanks to Rockstar Energy Drink, Scion Racing, and of course Hankook Tire on their home turf. I think we were able to prove our extreme prowess in the rain.

Formula D the Most Exciting MotorSport Series on the Calendar Hands Down – A Fans Perspective
So I’m back from another weekend of Formula Drift and man, what a weekend it has been!
Those who know me, know that I’m absolutely crazy about Formula D. I follow the series around the states, and there’s almost nothing that could stop me making it to an event. I always say, it wouldn’t matter if I was homeless, jobless, or hungry, I would find a way to make it to Formula D. Luckily for me, I’m not in any such state yet, and this past weekend I was at the Wall Stadium in New Jersey for Round 4 of the 2014 Formula D Championship.
Let’s first talk about how New Jersey did as a host. I can say this without reservation: This was without a doubt the best Formula D weekend so far this year that I have been to, bar none! And that’s a pretty lofty claim. Everything just came together this weekend. The on track action, the atmosphere, the fans and the stadium itself. Wall Stadium is the perfect place to host a Formula D event, because even in the sold out crowd you could get a full view of all the action, no matter where you were sitting. It seemed like everyone had caught the Formula D bug this weekend too, because there were still fans lining up outside when Wall Stadium hit capacity. Formula D has really come in to its own as a growing Motorsport series, and its weekends like this that prove it.
