As the 2019 Formula DRIFT season marches on, the teams arrived at Road Atlanta this weekend for the O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Road to the Championship presented by Permatex.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"20190509_102005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It would see Aurimas \u201cOdi\u201d Bakchis defend his early lead in the Formula DRIFT Black Magic Pro Championship after wins in the first two rounds. Trenton Beechum would also attempt to defend his lead in the Formula DRIFT Link ECU Pro 2 Championship. However, both would be disappointed as new faces climbed on the top step of the podium.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the Pro Category, rain showers brought an additional challenge to the competition heats but the capacity crowd witnessed exceptional skill as the drivers went wheel-to-wheel on the challenging Road Atlanta course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>PRO QUALIFYING
<\/strong><\/span>Just as at the previous round in Orlando, FL, Fredric Aasbo (Norway) came out with guns blazing in his Rockstar Energy Drink \/ Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla. He scored the highest points of any driver on both his first and second runs, awarded 97 and 99 points, respectively. His precision and aggression was too much for the other drivers, although\u00a0Chelsea Denofa (USA) came close in his\u00a0BC Racing \/ Nitto Tire Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5-D. He would score 98 points on his first run to keep him ahead of Ryan Tuerck (USA) driving the\u00a0Ryan Tuerck Racing \/ Gumout \/ Nitto Tire Toyota 86, who scored 97.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"20190510_184236\"<\/a><\/td>\n\"20190510_182505\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Once again, it was an intense qualifying session for the 2019\u00a0Formula DRIFT Black Magic Pro Championship with half the field of 34 drivers scoring more than 91 points. This included championship leader,\u00a0\u201cOdi\u201d Bakchis (Lithuania) in the Falken Tire \/ Feal Suspension Nissan S14, who\u00a0qualified in fifth position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Qualifying in 31st place was rookie Travis Reeder (USA). The 2018\u00a0Formula DRIFT Link ECU Pro 2 Champion has been working on an electric-powered Chevy Camaro and FD Atlanta saw him qualify the Napoleon Motorsports \/ Turn Key \/ Nitto Tire Chevrolet Camaro EL1 for the first time. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"20190511_173148\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is landmark moment because it\u2019s the first EV to qualify for a Formula DRIFT event \u2013\u00a0will this be the first of many more to come in the future?

<\/span>PRO COMPETITION HEATS
<\/strong><\/span>Aasbo\u2019s path to the final started against\u00a0Kevin Lawrence (USA) in the\u00a0Enjuku Racing \/ BC Racing \/ Achilles Tire \/ Competition Clutch Nissan S14.3, but the 2015 FD Champion was too much for his opponent. The Norwegian would advance to the Sweet 16 to face an on-form Matt Field (USA) in his Borla \/ Falken Tire Chevrolet Corvette. Field would spin in the wet conditions after initiating into the first turn while trying to stay with Aasbo on his chase run. With Aasbo driving conservatively on the second run, he completed the course and did enough to send Field home early.

<\/span>In the Great 8, the Aasbo would face the only three-time Champion in the series history: Chris Forsberg\u00a0(USA)\u00a0scored a second place finish in Orlando and was second in the championship coming into Atlanta. Driving the NOS Energy Drink \/ Nissan 370Z on Nexen Tires, both drivers acquitted themselves well but the decision went in Aasbo\u2019s favor thanks to his commitment to the clipping zones on his lead run.\u00a0

<\/span>On a slowly drying track, fans were relishing the Final 4 matchup between Aasbo and double FD Champion, James Deane (Ireland) in the Worthouse \/ Falken Tire Nissan Silvia S15. The Irishman has experienced a torrid season to date, with atypical mechanical problems putting him outside the top 10 coming into Atlanta. And things didn\u2019t look to be improving as Deane left the grid after his sighting lap to replace a front tire, using his Competition Time-out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the first run with Aasbo in the lead position, Deane was creating crazy drift angles as he pushed to maintain proximity. On the second run, Aasbo was slow to initiate but tucked himself into Deane\u2019s door for the remainder of the run with seemingly impossible proximity in the conditions. In a split decision, Aasbo was awarded the win by virtue of his chase run.<\/span><\/p>\n

His opponent in The Final would be Ryan Tuerck, whose third place qualification matched him against Joao Barion (Brazil) in the Top 32 heats. Driving the Barbarius \/ Achilles Tire Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06, the Brazilian rookie had the benefit of a dry track at this point at the event. However, he would over-shoot the first turn and struggle to catch up for the remainder of the run. The rain would arrive for the second run, so both drivers were allowed a sighting run to check the conditions. With Tuerck driving consistently on his chase run, he took the win and moved onto the Sweet 16 to meet\u00a0Dean Kearney (Ireland) in the Oracle Lighting \/ Achilles Tire Dodge Viper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On their first run, with Kearney in the chase position, he lost ground in the first turn but was able to catch up in the second zone. As the positions changed and Kearney took the lead, he ran good lines as Tuerck initiated well but gradually lost proximity through the second zone. The judges gave the win to Tuerck on a split decision primarily based on the Irishman\u2019s error on the first run.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Great 8, Tuerck needed to defeat Piotr Wiecek (Poland) in the Worthouse \/ Falken Tire Nissan Silvia S15. The Pole is always a serious threat and both drivers committed to the track as if it were dry, dealing well with the wet conditions. The battle was intense but the judges unanimously awarded Tuerck the win after Wiecek made a small mistake on his lead run while Tuerck maintained incredible proximity in the chase position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuerck’s opponent in the Final 4 would be 2013 FD champion Michael Essa (USA) in the Essa Autosport \/ Achilles Tire BMW M3, who is enjoying a solid start to his season. He sits ninth in the\u00a02019\u00a0Formula DRIFT Black Magic Pro Championship, one place behind Tuerck. Unfortunately, Essa made a small mistake initiating into the first turn in the chase position, but would redeem himself with great proximity through the middle of the run. Both drivers showed plenty of aggression on the second run, with the win going to Tuerck as a result of Essa\u2019s early mistake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Tuerck lined up against Aasbo in The Final, it\u2019s worth remembering his\u00a0Ryan Tuerck Racing \/ Gumout \/ Nitto Tire Toyota 86 was\u00a0destroyed at the previous round. The car he\u2019s using is actually Ryan\u2019s former street car, which was equipped with the salvaged race parts and now had a chance of victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first run, Aasbo took the lead position and Tuerck was on his door at the initiation. He\u2019d drop back slightly at the transition but quickly close in again. Tuerck would run wide at the end of the run but it was after crossing the finish line, so wouldn\u2019t be a factor in the judging.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the lead position, Tuerck pulled away on the first inside clip, forcing Aasbo to catch him. Aasbo then maintained good proximity through the remainder of the run and was awarded the win on a split judge\u2019s decision. James Deane finished third.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"20190511_225746(0)\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the win moving him into second position in the 2019 Formula DRIFT Black Magic Pro Championship, we spoke to Aasbo before the podium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"20190511_223629\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He first gave credit to his opponent: \u201cRyan\u2019s been on fire all weekend and what a comeback for him after crashing the car and rebuilding it in one week. I was pretty sure he\u2019d be number one because he drove like a bat out of hell. But I have to thank my team as well. Steph (Papadakis) and the boys have built a lightning-quick car, and in conditions like this it\u2019s all about grip, so thanks to Nexen for making this one happen\u2026 It feels really good to win again and we\u2019re looking forward to the next round in New Jersey to see if we can repeat it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, we gave the final word to\u00a0Formula DRIFT president, Jim Liaw. \u201cWe know that challenging circumstances can bring out the best in people and the constantly changing weather gave everyone \u2013 FD staff, fans, teams and sponsors \u2013 a great deal of anxiety. A wet event can sometimes suck the energy from an event, but that didn\u2019t happen at this great venue thanks to the amazing fans. The fans encouraged the teams to bring extra intensity, making this one of the most exciting competitions I\u2019ve witnessed. Tonight showed us the perseverance of the teams, the passion of the fans and an awesome showcase of car control by ridiculously skillful drivers. We can\u2019t wait to return to Atlanta next year, whether it\u2019s dry or wet!\u201d
