Three-time Brokers Dominican Series Drift Champion will Challenge for Rookie of the Year in 2012
March 19, 2012 (Los Angeles, Calif.) – Becoming the first full-time driver from the Dominican Republic to compete full time in Formula Drift, Jhonnattan Castro is proud to announce his entry in the 2012 season championship.
While he will be a rookie in Formula Drift, Castro has been getting cars sideways for several seasons and has been instrumental in the development of the sport in his native Dominican Republic. Castro is a three-time Brokers Dominican Drift Series Champion (2009-2011), and recently took part in training under the tutelage of Nobushige Kumakubo at Ebisu Circuit in Japan, earning his license in D1GP. Castro is the first Latin American driver to earn a license in both Formula Drift and in D1GP.
Castro will join City Tire, driving the Nissan 350Z previously used in Formula Drift by Carl Rydquist, and will compete on Hankook Tires.
“I’m really excited to be able to compete in the Formula Drift Pro Championship this year,” said Castro. “It has been a long road to get to this point, and I consider myself very fortunate to be in this position and have the opportunity to drive in the best drifting series in the world. The drifting community in the Dominican Republic is really into what is going on in Formula Drift, and I’m excited to represent my country in the series.”
