2008 Formula Drift Round 1
Chris Forsberg took first place at the Formula Drift season opener in Long Beach, CA. Samuel Hubinette took second and had a few choice words to say about Chris’ last run.
“In the last corner as I was following Forsberg he purposely slowed down and choked me so I had to ether hit him or the wall so I ended up touching the wall with my passenger side door. I am surprised he was using that type of tactics. Now I know and I will not forget,” says Hubinette.
It was a tight battle from the first run, but whether or not Forsberg “purposely slowed down” is not up for debate as the Formula D judges awarded Chris the win. Had there been proof of Sam’s allegations, Forsberg would have been disqualified under Formula D rule.
2007 Formula Drift Champion Tanner Foust took third and Kyle Mohan finished fourth. Round 2 of the 2008 Formula Drift season is scheduled for May 9 and 10 in Braselton, GA.
