Drift
Atlanta VII — May 7-8, 2010
The Formula Drift Series will return as
the feature event, and other road racing events will be announced soon.
An expanded Vendor Village area and car show will also be part of the
event.
Drifting is a high-skill, high-powered
motor sport that calls for drivers to control a car while it slides
sideways at high speed through a marked course. It is similar to rally
racing, but is done on a closed, paved course. It is judged on execution
and style rather than just time.
The Formula Drift® competition
at Road Atlanta will be conducted in the Turn 10 complex, a right
left-right-hand combination that will require the drifting competitors
to quickly change direction while in full drift mode. The competition
will include Friday qualifying to determine a 16-car field for the
finals Saturday, with two cars paired together on consecutive runs
(one leads, then they switch). A panel of professional drifting drivers
will determine the bracket winners.
