Chris Forsberg's POV in Sonoma

This great POV video was put together by the Keep Drifting Fun guys Will and Josh. It features Forsberg's Great 8 run against the S15 of James Deane. The battle went "One More Time" but the consistency and awesome style of Forsberg and the NOS Energy Drink Nissan 350Z prevailed. The footage was all captured using ContourHD Cameras.

Jarod DeAnda, the voice of Formula Drift has always had a dream of being a professional drifter and after a freak occurrence, he switches lives with 2009 Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg. Hit with this “accident” Chris then realizes the final round of the 2010 FD season is just two months away, and he has no choice but to teach Jarod how to drift. Chris and Jarod switch bodies entirely, but the two of them can see each other for who they really are. However, the rest of the world sees them as their “host” bodies. drinknos.com keepdriftingfun.com jaroddeanda.com chrisforsberg.com

Formula Drift - Round 6 Sonoma

Just got home from Sonoma which was a short weekend in comparison to all our other events being that it is just a short drive to San Fran and also that we do not have Thursday practice available at this track like we do the others. That being said, I am glad we debuted our new Nissan Motorsports engine last round in Vegas because we would not have had the time to adjust with the few runs we have on Friday before qualifying.

Sonoma_4 

 Our first lap of qualifying is always pretty straight forward, push hard, get a clean run in, and get nuts on the second lap. However, our first pass put us in 2nd place, and held all the way through the second round! I still pushed hard on the second run trying for a backwards entry but went slightly off course which threw off the run and our hopes at the top qualifying spot.

Sonoma_12 

 Landing in the second spot put us in a great position for tandem because we would pretty much be leading first in all our tandem runs. First we were matched up with Matt Field, who is a rookie to Formula Drift this year. He was driving the course very well for his first time out, however he made a few mistakes on his lead run which gave us the win to move into Top 16. Our next pairing was against my Drift Alliance brother Joon Maeng, his new ride with Bergenholtz Racing has proven to be a help to his recent success. He has adapted to the new car rather well and has been much higher in the rankings since he parked his Nissan S13. Our first run was rather smooth and simple, I lead and stuck to my line. I knew Joon had a very similar driving style to mine so on the chase run, I pushed to drive close and not let his car get away from ours. We stuck together through the course and took the win. Our third matchup was with James Deane, he was driving very well and had a high entry speed. We both ran a good lead run and close chase runs so the judges ruled a One More Time. Our next lead run was solid and James stayed close behind so to get an advantage, I would have to get even closer. So, on my chase run, I entered into the first corner with only a few feet between our cars. I was able to slowly pull in closer to his car through the braking zone and with only inches between our cars we both jumped onto the throttle and cleared the rest of the course. The judges gave us the win! We were now in the final four.

Sonoma_9 

After we cooled the car down and got back to the start line, I am told we will be facing Vaughn Gittin Jr. in the Semi-Finals. After I had a moment to think, I realized that the two of us were not the only Drift Alliance members still remaining, Ryan Tuerck had also reached the Semis. Holy crap, it could be a 1,2,3 DA podium!!! The only thing standing between us and our long time dream of having 3 of us up there together is Tanner Foust, which is no easy task being that he would have to lose twice. Tuerck runs through the course and beats Tanner, putting Tanner in the consolation round which means it would be either Vaughn or myself who would have to face Tanner for that last spot on the podium. I lead against JR with a solid clean run, on the follow I wanted to keep the gaps close to try to ensure a win, as we enter into the course and start to slow down and I realize that we were both on the brakes pretty hard. At this point, I try to follow JR as best as I could, on the outer clipping point he dropped into the dirt so I do the same but my car spun to a stop which gave Vaughn the win. Now it was up to me to defeat Tanner.

Sonoma_7

Tanner’s car is fast so I tried to beat him with angle, my first pass I threw the car as hardas I could and went past the lock, sliding into the first corner with all four tires screaming, I was able to pull the car out and continued through the course! This was about as hard as I could run the Sonoma course but on the follow run, Tanner pulled a couple car lengths on me as we entered into the first corner, I was unable to catch up and remained about three car lengths behind for the entire run… The judges gave Tanner the win and I took 4th. An awesome finish that I would be super happy with in any other circumstance but I have to admit, I was so sad to see us get so close to sweeping the podium only to miss it. We’ll get ‘em next time!

Formula Drift in 2 days!

Vegaaas!  Only a few days left until Round 5 of Formula Drift in Las Vegas.  I am so excited for this event, I can hardly wait.  Kevin and Sergio have been hammering on the NOS Energy 350Z the past couple weeks getting our new Nissan Motorsports engine installed!  With the days counting down, the guys were able to get the car together and running over the weekend, and we had a VERY successful test day yesterday.  The car puts out almost 150 more horsepower than ever before, this should bring our speeds up for the entry as well as in drift.


We spent today buttoning up the car and getting ready for the weekend.  Tomorrow I will be getting the big rig for us to load everything in.  There is not much time left, but everything really came together for us and I am feeling really good about the upcoming weekend!

All work and no play makes... You get the idea... a week or so ago... good times!

I'm never NOT working but living life is my job, traveling, MC'ing events, talking to fans and friends and it all blends together and NOS keeps me Fueled up...

Last week and weekend I got to see some NOS Athletes perform and get some medal in their life and NOS Energy Drink drifter Chris Forsberg throw down a serious game...

Here's some fun pics of what went down,
