Dominican Republic-based driver set to make Formula Drift debut this weekend in Long Beach
April 5, 2012 (Los Angeles, Calif.) – For a guy who has only been to the United States once before, Jhonnattan Castro has had a steep learning curve to conquer so far – and this weekend, he will jump into the Formula Drift Pro Championship for the first time at one of its most daunting tracks.
While Castro first visited Southern California from his native Dominican Republic a few weeks ago to finalize the deals that enabled him to compete in Formula Drift, his second trip has been dedicated to testing the Banco Progresso / City Tire Nissan 350Z that he will drive this year. Castro, three times a champion in the Brokers Dominican Drift Series, is extremely familiar with the 350Z platform but is focused on being as prepared as possible for Long Beach.
