Formula Drift finished its 20th year with a thrilling win in the rain by now-three-time champion Fredric"The Norwegian Hammer" Aasbo.
The lantern-jawed Aasbo drove his Toyota Supra to victory in"The House of Drift" at Irwindale Speedway in Irwindale, Calif.Fredric “ ” Aasbo won his third championship in Formula Drift, and capped the 2022 season with a victory at The House of Drift in Irwindale, Calif./Toyota teammate Ryan Tuerck finished second, no-doubt pleasing their Toyota sponsors at what used to be their home track. It was the fifth title for Papadakis Racing since the team was founded by former import drag racer Steph Papadakis.
“It takes an enormous team effort to win a championship title and I’m proud of our work this season,” said Aasbo. “It’s been up and down, for sure, but it’s the support of the team and our friends and family that gets us through. We have the whole family here tonight, with Rockstar, with Angus Cloud, with Toyota and Nitto: I love you guys! Thank you so much.
To make everything more interesting, rain swept through the area immediately before Satuday’s finals competition, putting Aasbo in the difficult position of being first to test the wet track in the Round of 16. Drifting competition is held in paired runs, with two cars going side-by-side on the track. You would think rain would make drifting easier, being that the idea is to slide gracefully sideways through a series of prescribed turns. But that’s not necessarily the case.
