CAR FEATURE>> CHRIS FORSBERG'S FORMULA D 370Z

Filed under: Nissan, Car Feature, Formula Drift, 370Z, Linhbergh Nguyen, nos energy drink, Chris Forsberg

Speedhunters

As a photographer, I find myself drawn to cars that look great when captured in still photographs. This is apparent in any motorsport discipline I find myself photographing --be it ALMS, FIA GT, Land Speed Racing, or pro drifting. In Formula D, I have a personal list of cars I find myself shooting all the time as they look great on and off camera. Chris Forsberg's NOS Energy Drink Nissan 370Z is one of those cars. The original 370Z's body was upgraded to a complete Nismo 370Z body kit. It...

CAR FEATURE>>MR. TOAD'S WILD RIDE

Filed under: Car Feature, Formula D, Chris Forsberg, XDC, Larry Chen, VK56

Speedhunters

In my opinion, this has got to be one of the greatest function and form drift cars. I was hooked ever since Chris Forsberg started to blog about his M45 build. After a long off season, Chris finally debuted and tested this grocery getter drift car during XDC Round 1 at Irwindale Speedway. First time on course and Chris shoots cotton balls out the back of this beast. And yes, the Irwindale bank is THAT steep. It's Mr. Toad himself! And he's taking his friends for a wild ride. It looks like...

Reigning Formula D champion Chris Forsberg is to make his UK & European debut at the start of next month with a drive at the TRAX event in Silverstone on September 5th. The event will be host to the fifth and final round of the 2010 JDM Allstars series. Details are yet to be confirmed on what car he'll be driving but you can be assured of coverage of the event as Ross and myself take to the Northhampton based circuit.

VIDEO ROLL>> A DAY WITH FORSBERG @ FD SEATTLE

Filed under: Video Roll, will roegge, Joshua Herron, nos energy drink, Chris Forsberg, keep drifting fun, FD Seattle 10

The Keep Drifting Fun boys, Josh and Will just released their third Forsberg film. This one was not shot with super nice video DSLRs or HD cameras, but shot entirely with Contour HD cameras from the point of view of Forsberg himself, the CFR team or from the car itself. It's a fantastic watch.

VIDEO ROLL>> KDF ART HOUSE'S FORSBERG @ FD NEW JERSEY

Filed under: Video Roll, will roegge, Joshua Herron, Chris Forsberg, keep drifting fun, fd new Jersey 10

The Keep Drifting Fun boys, Joshua Herron and Will Roegge, just released their film of Chris Forsberg at Wall Stadium. No, it's not another drift music video but an art house documentary approach to the sport. Take a moment to pump up the volume and watch it in full screen HD. You'll feel like you're exactly with Chris at those very moments.

On a side note, these KDF guys have an endless supply of peanut butter in their van, I've seen it.

VIDEO ROLL>> FORSBERG @ FD ATL

Filed under: Video Roll, Linhbergh Nguyen, nos energy drink, Chris Forsberg, keep drifting fun, FD Atlanta 10

The Keep Drifting Fun guys, Will Roegge and Joshua Herron, released a small film featuring Chris Forsberg, his thoughts and his run down of the second round of the 2010 Formula Drift season. It's a great insight into the mind of the 2009 Formula D champion.

The quality of films that these guys are producing are really just something else. The opening montage, the in-car shot against Sam Hubinette, and the amazing amounts of bokeh throughout the film all add up to a great piece.

What I want to know is what sort of magical peanut butter Will and Josh are consuming, because I want some.

VIDEO ROLL>>BEHIND THE SCENES WITH FORSBERG

Filed under: Video Roll, nos energy drink, behind the scenes, Chris Forsberg, Commerical

I was at the Formula Drift Tech Day at UTI today when Mr. Jarod DeAnda kindly reminded me that I forgot to post the behind the scenes vid from Chris Forsberg's NOS commercial shoot.

Look for the commercial to debut tomorrow at 1pm (PST I'm assuming?) during the NASCAR race on Fox.

BEHIND THE SCENES>>CHRIS FORSBERG'S NOS COMMERICAL SHOOT

Filed under: Mike Garrett, nos energy drink, behind the scenes, Chris Forsberg

Speedhunters

Last week we got an invite to a commercial shoot for NOS Energy Drink, featuring '09 Formula Drift Champion Chris Forsberg. Not knowing quite what to expect, I jumped into the car on Friday morning and headed north to Willow Springs, passing the endless string of commuters heading the opposite direction on Route 14 into the LA basin....

VIDEO>> CHRIS FORSBERG: PORTRAIT OF A CHAMPION

Filed under: Video, Drift Alliance, will roegge, Video 2009, nos energy drink, Chris Forsberg, FD Irwindale09

Speedhunters

We just did a premiere of this film to a packed house at the Formula D/Spo Com party in Las Vegas. It's a little tribute to the new Formula Drift 2009 Champion Chris Forsberg. Entitled "Portrait of a Champion" , it's a collaboration with the drifting film-maker of film-makers Will Roegge. ... And i suppose myself and Speedhunters' editor, Riley Vigier also had something to do with this film too.... We hope you like it! I also need to thank Ernie and Tutul from Nos Energy Drink...

GALLERY>> THE MOMENT OF FD IRWINDALE

Filed under: Gallery, Linhbergh Nguyen, Matt Powers, Chris Forsberg, FD Irwindale09, Joon Maeng

Speedhunters

With the passing of the last round of the 2009 Formula D season, Irwindale will go down into the history books as an event of many great memories. Moments of great jubilee, celebration, quiet reflection, and, of course, moments of disappointment. But this was the moment. The moment when Chris Forsberg rolled back into the pit area with his team mates, drivers, and media personel running towards his car to congratuate him on the ultimate intangible. He got out of his car, quickly removed his helmet...

Speedhunters

It's only Tuesday, but preparation for the weekend's Formula Drift finale at Irwindale Speedway is already in full swing. It's been nearly two months since the last FD event in Sonoma, and the drivers are fired up to finish the season on a high note. There are a number of storylines heading into the event, and we thought we'd take a look at at some of them in this quick preview....

BEHIND THE SCENES>> A DAY WITH FORSBERG @ FD SEATTLE

Filed under: Formula Drift, Driver, Linhbergh Nguyen, nos energy drink, behind the scenes, fd seattle09, Chris Forsberg

Speedhunters

I had the very fortunate honor of being a guest with Chris Forsberg and his team for the 5th Formula D round in Seattle. I had the opportunity to follow and document the day of competitions with Chris. The day started with Chris rubbing the crusty from his eyes, to the day-to-day race operations, then a quiet moment of self reflection with him and his car before the top 16, and finally, to stand on the top step of the podium! It was quite the experience to be a 'ghost' and follow the team...

RANDOM SNAP>> FORSBERG: A MAN THAT CAN DEFINITELY FLY

Filed under: Random Snap, Event, Formula Drift, nos energy drink, fd seattle09, Chris Forsberg

Speedhunters

I had the great opportunity to sit shotgun in Chris Forsberg's drift car as he rode out to the opening ceremonies of Evergreen Speedway for the start of the fifth round of the 2009 Formula Drift series. As we sat on the grid waiting to get out on the track, I had the great honor to witness an absolutely intimate moment with Chris and his car: he reached for his dashboard, as if starting the cars' race like start-up, laid his hands onto the center console gently, then bowed his head down slightly...

Filed under: Event, news, Formula Drift, Falken, Mike Garrett, nos energy drink, fd seattle09, Chris Forsberg

Speedhunters

When you smell like of strange mix of sweat, rubber particles, and champagne you know you've spent the day at a Formula Drift Event. After another exciting round of compeition, it was Chris Forsberg in the NOS Energy Drink 350Z who emerged as the day's victor. This was Forsberg's second win of the year, and he should be getting a nice boost to his lead in the FD points standings....
