OFFICIAL: Formula Drift Driver Patrick Mordaunt Joins ARK Performance Motorsports Team
February 18, 2014; ARK Performance is pleased to announce that it has officially signed on professional Formula Drift driver Patrick Mordaunt to the ARK Performance Motorsports Team. Following this exciting announcement, Mordaunt will be driving for ARK Performance in a Genesis Coupe. The actual vehicle is still not yet released but will definitely be very exciting for all Hyundai owners and Genesis Coupe owners alike.
At age 14, Patrick started his drifting career in a 1985 Corolla GTS (AE86) and has grown ever since. Earning his Formula Drift Pro license in 2007 he has been heavily involved in the drift scene. He has become a well-versed driver starting at the grassroots level, to privateering his own team, and now becoming a team driver. Patrick personally drives his 350Z as a practice car and the Genesis Coupe should be very similar to his current chassis.
