Another exciting season of Formula Drift is upon us and I’m pretty excited to see what this season brings.  One team that will be delivering the goods this year is Scion Racing.  One of the most anticipated vehicle models to hit the streets is going to be unleashed at Stop 1 of the Formula Drift series in Long Beach, CA on April 6-7.  The new Scion FRS will be driven by none other than Ken Gushi.  

Fredric Aasbo will be returning this year with the Need For Speed 2nd Gen tC and new Scion Racing driver Tony Angelo will be taking over the old Ken Gushi tC with a whole new look and performance additions.

The FRS driven by Ken Gushi was built by the world famous company Greddy.  The folks at Greddy sure put in the work on this car.  From the motor work, suspension set up, body adjustments, and perfect styling.  This car looks amazing!  Now I didn’t get into many details about modifications other than the car being very nice.  

The event was a lot of fun.  Media outlets from all over was present.  Seems like anytime Scion mentions showing the FRS, people swarm from everywhere.  Which is great and the public is anticipating to get their hands on the FRS.  What I can’t wait for is to see how the privateer builder puts one together.  The FRS in my personal opinion is the car you can definitely personalize into your own monster race car.  

It was good seeing some old friends and acquaintances at last night’s event.  Thank you Scion Racing for hosting another fun and memorable event.  Till the next one.  Cheers!
