Maxxis Tires put together a couple of videos highlighting Ryan Tuerck’s new Scion FR-S that he will be campaigning for the 2013 Formula D season. The car is powered by a Brian Crower stroked 3.4 liter Toyota 2JZ inline-6 fueled by E85 ethanol to 780 horsepower. In this first video, Ryan talks us through the car:


The team is still getting the car dialed in, but they performed well at Round 2 at Road Atlanta despite of having to replace the Quick-Change rear end:

Manabu Orido Switches to an LS7 for D1GP 2013

Posted on by

Manabu Orido campaigned a Toyota GT-86 powered by the V8 out of a Lexus IS-F for the 2012 season of the D1 Drifting Grand Prix. He had some reliability issues and was underpowered compared to some of the turbo inline-6 monsters that the other drivers were using. He made the choice to use an LS7 with NOS to make more power in a smaller and lighter package. The car now makes 700 horsepower with a lot more low end torque.

Off Season Two – Tuerck’d

Posted on by

Network A’s series about Ryan Tuerck continues with this rather artistically done drift video. Ryan drifts his 1JZ powered S13 up a scenic mountain road which we get to see from a variety of camera angles. He hinted in one of his Q&A videos that he might be swapping the LSx for a turbo inline-6 for Formula D next year. Either that or I was reading too far into it.
