Formula Drift slid into Sin City over this past weekend and brought copious amounts of smoke, world-class competitors, a Scion-laden car show, drag racing, bikini contests, vendors, and more. With a field laden with some of the most diverse talent the drift world has ever seen, it was a no holds barred battle as drivers from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA held nothing back in their quest for the podium.
After a hard fought battle amongst machines easily making double the hp, Formula DRIFT rookie Toshiki Yoshioka blazed through the diverse field to take home top honors in only his 2nd Formula DRIFT appearance.
