Each Driver will get 2 qualifying runs.Best run will count as their best score. Tiebrakers will be determined by the driver worse run,style Points,and speed. Each qualifying run is judged on four (3) criteria:Line, Angle, and Style. Line is the ideal path a vehicle must take on course and is marked by Inner Clipping Points, Outer Clipping Points, and Transition Zones. Inner Clipping Point are reference points on the course where the vehicle’s front bumper should come as close as possible to the reference point. Outer Clipping Points are also reference points and scored by determining how close the corner of the vehicle’s rear bumper comes to the point. Transition Zones are areas on track where the direction of the line changes and vehicles must change the direction of their drift. Angle measures the amount of counter-steer and relative rear slip angle a driver uses through the course. Style is the general feel of the pass and how well the other two criteria were executed through the entirety of the lap. This is the most subjective criteria and judges will look for the most “excitement” that the driver can bring. Drivers should be able to demonstrate full control of the car at all time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.2 Qualifying Runs Angle=25+10=35 Line=25+10=35 Total=100 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.3 Tandem Elimination Rounds Tandem round are based on two (2) runs, in Head-to-Head format, with competitors paired up based on seeding position. The higher qualifier will lead the first run and the second led by the lower qualifier. The critical success factor is for the lead car to be able to run the course without error while being pressured by thefollowing car. The following car is to try and “out drive” the lead car. Driver consistency during a tandem battle is critical. Lead Car must be able to clear the course without making any errors due to distraction or pressure by the following car. Following Car needs to run the same basic line as the lead car but may also take a higher line in order to pressure the lead driver. Taking a lower line than the lead car will result in a loss of advantage. If the lead car is off line, the following car will gain advantage points by staying on the correct line althrough will not be deducted points for following the lead car. The following car should keep as close to the lead car as possible to gain the advantage. Passing is allowed in Formula Drift ProAm2. Passing is allowed anywhere on course as long as the lead car is clearly off the line the judges have specified. Any passing that occurs outside the scope of the aforementioned criteria will be deemed illegal and constitute an equivalence to a zero (0) run. Collisions occur during tandem battle and in the event of contact, the driver at fault will lose advantage points. Incidental contact is allowed but not encouraged. Drivers are required to complete the entire course, even if the other driver crashes, hits, spins, stalls or is not able to complete the run. Drivers are always being judged as long as they are on course. Pace Roll In The past we just used a straight up "50 Roll" this season we are using a Pace Roll. Both drivers will agree on a roll speed it could be slower or faster depending on the drivers. However if a decision cant be made by the drivers both drivers will use the ProAm2 suggested roll which will usually be 50. Note: the end of the roll will not change only the speed. Tandem Scoring will be observed by the (3) judges during the head-to-head battle. There will be no declaration of scores between the two runs. At the conclusion of the head-to-head battle, each judge will individually declare a winner. Judges will select from three options: 1. Driver “A” wins 2. Driver “B” wins 3. “Tie” The majority will rule a winner will be decided. In the event there is no clear majority, a “One More Time” will be granted, and the competitors will begin another 2-run head-to-head battle. Multiple “One More Times” may be necessary to determine a winner Up to three. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.4 Specific issues identified as zeros (0) in qualifying and tandem.

Formula DRIFT or Formula D is the premier United States drifting series. Formula Drift, Inc. was co-founded by Jim Liaw and Ryan Sage in 2003 as a sister company to the now defunct Slipstream Global Marketing, the same partnership that introduced D1 Grand Prix to the United States. The new entity would solely own, operate and launch the first official drifting series in North America. 2014 will be Formula Drift's eleventh year of competition.
With more than 60+ currently licensed drivers competing [1], Formula Drift is recognized as the premier North Americanprofessional drifting championship series. The series consists of a seven round championship played out at race tracks across the United States. Judged on execution and style, rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time, Formula Drift brings together traditional racing and extreme sports.
Formula Drift works closely with a huge variety of endemic and non-endemic business partners from energy drinks to the military. Most notably Formula Drift works with the largest amount of tire suppliers to a single series. Achilles, Falken, Hankook, Maxxis, Kenda, Nitto, GT Radial, and Yokohama all work together to supply teams and develop test their products.
