DRIFTING + "TOYOTA GRAND PRIX" of LONG BEACH (April 8-10th)

swifty949 · 03-04-2005, 05:07 PM

NBC will cover the Champ series Long Beach Grand Prix, but i would doubt that the Formula D entertainment will be televised. I could be wrong though.

Formula D · 03-04-2005, 05:10 PM

There is a strong possibility that we wil get some coverage on NBC. Also G4 will be there too so they will document it as well. We demo Sat and Sun and the Sunday demo is right before the main race so lots of eye balls.

Formula D · 03-07-2005, 12:50 PM

The teams will be announced this week most likely.

See you guys on the track, just keep off those K walls!!!!

malcolm · 04-04-2005, 09:05 PM

should be interesting to see how they do with all that sticky rubber down on the track. Champ Cars run on super soft rubber, and they put down a lot of it... I'll bet the cars will act quite differently with all that soft rubber down. Also, the Champ Car drivers may not like the fact that you're putting down different rubber onto the track...

Tyler McQuarrie · 04-04-2005, 09:51 PM

Malcolm:
Trans-Am and Atlantics are also running, which run different types of tires. So Champ Car will not be upset with us. No matter what you race, you have to deal with different types of compounds being laid down on the track on a given race weekend. The marbbles, which are off line will make it tricky to drift. We run before them on Sunday, so the track should be in good condition. On Fri. and Sat. we run in the afternoon so the will not be at its best. Can't wait!!!
