FORMULA D...LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!!

GUYS!

"Invited" does not mean confirmed or RSVPed. We have also reached out to a bunch more international drivers. Those released were just the first batch. Please consider that it costs a lot to bring a team and a car here and the drifting world is not made up of millions like F1 or NASCAR. US fans, please be thankful these international teams are busting their asses to get here and Red Bull is making all this possible. Come out and show your appreciation. This our first attempt to bring all the true champions and top ranked drivers from around the world here and not just our "friends", hope you support us.

BTW... D1 TBA = tell D1 to RSVP our invitation; no name means, no RSVP. You guys want to see Imamura or Kumakubo or Saito or Kawabata... call the D1 office.

We'll have the official entry list soon. Stay tuned.

Main thing I'm looking for is a schedule. Are we looking at day 1 practices and day 2 main event?

Friday / Saturday will probably top 32 / top 16 + tandem for Pro Am
Saturday / Sunday will probably be top 32 / top 16 for FD.
