Formula DRIFT ace Fredric Aasbø on the art and science of sideways

Formula DRIFT brings the sideways spectacle, the tire smoke and the noise. Visually, it’s unlike any other motorsports – short, sharp, intense action where speed, power and precision meet showmanship and style. Three-time Formula DRIFT champion Fredric Aasbø joins RACER Weekly to explain the intricacies of sitting inches off an opponent’s fender – and the wall – at the craziest of angles while dancing with 1,000hp at 100mph-plus. The Norwegian sultan of sideways talks grip vs. power, drifting’s unique combination of high-tech and human judging, his continuing motivation and his quest for the perfect run. Oh, and his love of ice racing and DJ’ing.
