Throwback Thursday – 2008 Clipping Point: Chris Forsberg
In 2006, Chris Forsberg had a new car, a new title sponsor ( Sears Auto Center), and appeared on the cover of Super Street magazine. However, he also only made top 8 once, and failed to make top 16 twice, and found himself without a sponsor for the 2007 season. From there, Forsberg decided to run as a privateer, picking up Maxxis tires as his lone major sponsor. Forsberg’s 2007 season was iconic for privateers, picking up 2 event wins, a top qualifier award, and 2 nd place overall in the Formula D points. Going into 2008, Chris has signed a title sponsorship with NOS Energy drinks as well as renewing with Maxxis Tires, and looks to be one of the top guns entering 2008 as he returns in the same Titan V8-powered Roadster. We sat down with Chris to recap 2007 and talk about 2008.

Tanner Foust: The Sonoma track was a nice change for us because it was the first smooth track in awhile. You could make the car sit a little bit lower, and you could be more precise with the suspension tuning. I’m not sure if there was room to because it was so narrow. I liked the idea of not always having a decreasing radius first corner. Maybe a flick into the first corner, rather than a long straightaway going into the first corner, or rather than a long straightaway entrance maybe a kink in the straightaway. The cool thing about Formula D is that basically, you take what you get and you just make the best pass that you can no matter what the track, and everybody has to drive the same layout.
