Posted on by

WAYNE, N.J., June 8, 2014 – Hankook Tire drivers Chris Forsberg and Ken Gushi are continuing their momentum on the track as they drifted to another podium finish this weekend at Formula Drift Round 3: Orlando. Forsberg and Gushi scored second and third place wins, respectively, at the event which took place at Orlando Speedworld.

The third race of the 2015 season marks Formula Drift’s twelfth year of competition in the United States, as well as Hankook Tire’s tenth year competing in the series and fourth year as an official series sponsor.

The semifinals of the event found Chris Forsberg and Ken Gushi faced in a rematch from Round 2: Road Atlanta, with Forsberg in the NOS Energy Drink / Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z and Gushi in the GReddy Racing / Hankook Tire Scion Racing FR-S. The friction on the track was too much as Gushi’s car caused Forsberg’s to catch fire, which later led to mechanical issues. Forsberg ultimately received the win over Gushi, but mechanical issues perpetuated in the Finals, and he was unable to continue the competition.
