THE 2020 FORMULA DRIFT PRO AND LINK ECU PRO2 CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE DECIDED DURING A THRILLING TYPE S TITLE FIGHT WEEKEND

Dmitriy Brutskiy is the 2020 Link ECU PRO2 Champion

Mike Power wins FD PRO2 Round Four

After months of speculation about whether there would even be a 2020 Formula DRIFT season, the teams arrived at The House of Drift – Irwindale Speedway – for the tradition season finale. With eight PRO and four Link ECU PRO2 Championship rounds squeezed into a compressed calendar of double-header events, the TYPE S Title Fight Weekend would be the ultimate test of resilience and consistency. The high-speed course used for the previous two rounds at Texas Motor Speedway had exacted a heavy toll on minds and machinery, and Irwindale would provide no relief. With its high-speed banking and unforgiving walls, both metal and egos would be dented or demolished before the PRO and PRO2 Champions were crowned.

To reflect the importance of the Link ECU PRO2 Championship, its Final Round would take place on Saturday, while Rounds Seven and Eight of the PRO Championship were scheduled for Friday and Sunday. And to sprinkle an extra wrinkle, Formula DRIFT had created a slightly different track layout to challenge the drivers further.

RYAN TUERCK AND CHRIS FORSBERG TAKE PRO CHAMPIONSHIP WINS AT FORMULA DRIFT TEXAS WEEKEND, WITH JONATHAN HURST WINNING PRO2

As Formula DRIFT returned to Texas Motor Speedway for Rounds Five and Six of the 2020 PRO Championship and Round Three of the Link ECU PRO2 Championship, the series introduced a revised track layout. This created a fluid, high-speed course that gave the teams a fresh challenge. It would test the drivers’ skill as they tried to fill each drift zone and saw a number of collisions throughout the weekend as drivers either charged to regain proximity or got lost in the smoke trail. It also brought an extra level of unpredictability, which produced exciting competition and allowed some new names to rise through the ranks.

VAUGHN GITTIN JR. DRIFTS CLOVERLEAF INTERCHANGE IN 900HP FORD MUSTANG RTR SPEC 5-D.

Posted on by


CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, MARCH 14, 2019 —

Back behind the wheel of his 900hp Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5-D that he used to drift the entirety of the Nürburgring, Vaughn Gittin Jr. checked another item off his bucket list: drifting a cloverleaf interchange.

Quote From Vaughn: “Entering a cloverleaf at maximum attack is something I’ve always wanted to do! There was nothing like the sound of the 5.0 revving out under the overpass portion as it echoed every which way! It was just the right amount of sketchiness and fun together… and quite a bit more challenging than I had expected linking it all together. And doing it at night made it that much more intense.”

Not only is this the same Ring conquering Mustang, but it shares the same DNA as the recently announced Mustang RTR Series 1 Powered by Ford Performance available at Ford dealers in April 2019.
