WAYNE, N.J., May, 14, 2012 – Hankook driver Fredric Aasbo placed second in round two of the 2012 Formula Drift season this past weekend on the new for 2012 course layout at Road Atlanta Raceway in Braselton, GA.

The sold out event attracted over 20,000 spectators and saw Aasbo driving his Hankook/Need for Speed Scion tC against Hankook Tire teammate Rhys Millen in the Hankook/Hyundai Genesis during the Top 8 round.  The tandem run was so close the drivers went out on the track for a ‘One More Time’ run, with Aasbo coming out on top over Millen.

On to Top 4, Aasbo was matched against D1 champ Daigo Saito.  Despite the smaller engine in Aasbo’s Scion tC, his Papadakis Racing crew was able to prepare his car to allow him to beat out Saito and win a second place podium finish.
