This is the Rockstar 2015 Scion tC Formula Drift car powered by a 2.4L 4cyl, turbocharged beast making around 850hp at the wheels. It was purpose built by Step Papadakis with Papadakis Racing. Out company, AEM Performance Electronics, provides the engine management, data logging, and various other electronics. (yes, converted to RWD, cause you can't drift with FWD). Driven by Fredric Aasbo aka The Norwegian Hammer. Fredric won the 2015 Formula Drift Championship as well as the FD World Championship by winning Canada and Japan. It was a long 8 year run to get to Fred to the Championship. The one in the background is the 2015 VW Passat powered by a extremely modified LS7 crate motor making about 900hp and was driven by Tanner Foust.
Taken with my Galaxy s6, set on auto, no filters, nada. About 30 of us were at the Irwindale Raceway in Irwindale, CA in October to support Fred, Steph and the team when they clinched the championship. We are very proud!
