Formula Drift announced in early 2007 that Formula Drift Championship will be leaving G4TV and broadcast exclusively on ESPN2.

“For Formula Drift, this is prodigious! In 2007, a motor sport fan can turn on ESPN and watch NASCAR and Champ Car among a huge list of other motor sports content. Now they can also turn on ESPN2 and watch the Formula Drift Championship. For Formula Drift this is a major step forward in TV coverage. We are ecstatic!” said Ryan Sage, VP of Marketing for Formula Drift.

“Drifting is one of the fastest-growing forms of motor sports in the world, and is especially popular with a younger audience,” said Frantz Cayo, Director of Motor Sports Programming for ESPN. “Along with the X Games and other cutting-edge sports on ESPN2, we feel that adding Drifting to our programming lineup is providing a great service to our viewers and we’re excited about it.”

I wonder if this means Street Fury will be leaving G4TV as well?
