With Formula Drift Irwindale a little over eight days away, here is a look back at round six in Sonoma. Team Need for Speed drivers, Matt Powers and Mad Mike Whiddett let me record their practice runs. FD Sonoma was a challenging event for drivers, like Matt and Mike, who had previously not driven the track. With short practice sessions, drivers had to make the most of each run to familiarize themselves with the high speed right hand entry. Its fascinating to me to compare practice driving styles between the two drivers. What do you notice?

See you at Irwindale.

I'm sure Mr. Whiddett's Metal Mulisha's gloves are fireproof ! That's how serious Formula D is.

Mike e-brakes into to it also... it's just not a bunch of mini pumps.

The e-brake handle is to the right of the shifter just watch he holds it also.
