DVM Finishes The Season Strong at Red Bull Pro-Am:
Posted by admin on January 30, 2009The 2008 drifting season has finally come to a close and we’re happy to announce D’Vanz Motorsports finished on a high note. The event, billed as “The Red Bull Drifting World 
Championship”, was the biggest of it’s kind in which there were two events in one massive weekend. One portion of the weekend pitted the drivers from the American Formula Drift series that ended their season in the top 16 points positions vs. 16 of the best drivers from series outside the United States. The second part of the weekend, and the one DVM was focused on, was the “Pro-Am” competition. For this event, drivers looking to gain access into the Formula D Championship had to battle current FD drivers that for a myriad of reasons, still needed to earn a few more points to hold onto their spot in the FD line-up for the 2009 campaign. Our driver, Doug Van Den Brink, having only competed in a couple of Formula D events in 2008, was one looking to fight-off those hoping to take his spot.
The event was held at a special venue on a massive harbor-side dock in the Port of Long Beach. A purpose built drifting track, highlighted by a very fast entry, followed by 4 technical turns. The track proved to be challenging with many drivers falling victim to the walls and barricades and other drivers stepping up to show off their total car control. The level of competition was at an all-time high and created one of the most exciting events in drifting history.
