FREDRIC AASBO, 4th @ FORMULA DRIFT Rd. #1 2010
Norwegian Drifter Fredric Aasbo, FSR Motorsport Creations and Japan Auto take sensational fourth place at Formula DRIFT: Streets of Long Beach, CA!
"- A prime example of being wicked awesome!", Formula DRIFT judge Tony Angelo said in front of the packed Long Beach crowd. He then continued on to say, "- That dude is a Magician!"
The 52 competing teams at the season opener proved the most diverse driver field of Formula DRIFT ever. Still, Fredric Aasbo and the FSR Motorsport Creations Japan Auto team took out top names such as 2009 Formula DRIFT Champion Chris Forsberg in the NOS Energy Drink/MAXXIS Tire Nissan 350Z on their way to the final four at Formula DRIFT Round 1: Streets of Long Beach on April 9th and 10th. Leaving just three of the factory team heavy hitters such as Falken Tire's own Vaughn Gittin Jr., Rhys Millen and Tanner Foust before him on the podium, Fredric had the crowd going crazy over his super wide and consistent runs throughout the competition.
"- You brought style back to Formula DRIFT", Andy Yen, Official Judge of Formula DRIFT, commented after the tense battles.
Shaking off the outstanding first time outing with the new team, Fredric Aasbo and FSR Motorsport Creations are back in the shop preparing the Japan Auto FSR Toyota Supra for further Formula DRIFT competition. The team is currently working hard toget the funding in place to compete at Formula DRIFT Round 2: Road to the Championship in Braselton, GA on May 7th-8th.
"- I am speechless", Fredric Aasbo responded when asked about his inital feelings after the finals. "- As a rookie that came all the way from Norway, I just can't emphasize how much I appreciate all the support and kind words we got from the crowd and fans around the world. The Japan Auto and FSR Motorsport Creations team held it together all the way through the finals, and the new Falken RT-615K tires gave me the grip and confidence to go all out in every run. We will do EVERYTHING in our power tobe able to go at it at Road Atlanta in less than a month!"
Fredric Aasbo is two time Nordic Drifting Series Champion representing Japan Auto, FSR Motorsport Creations, PBC Auto, BS Bildeler, CRC, Panvulk, KRB Trading, Comp Turbo, Kimmit Sport Racing, Adaptronic, ImportTech, Agip, EBC Brakes, Brakes Norge, Nuke Performance, Auto-Sign, BlackBox Media and SWR Performance Engineering in Formula DRIFT - the world's premier drifting series.
