Chris Forsberg / NOS Energy Drink Video

A great video clip on a behind the scenes with drifter Chris Forsberg

Chris Forsberg / NOS Energy Drink Video

NOS Energy Drink brings you behind the scenes with Chris Forsberg for a one on one experience. Chris walks us through the history of the sport and the trials and tribulations that he, Kevin, and Sergio endured to become the first private team in the Formula DRIFT series. 

 

Chris is now leading the points in both the Formula DRIFT championship and the Tires.com Triple Crown.  If he wins he will be the first driver to do both on his way to his first Formula DRIFT title.  This will also be the first time that a “pure” drifter with no other motorsports background will become the champion.  We will find out if Chris will make history this weekend Oct. 15-16 at Round 7: Judgment Day of the Formula DRIFT Professional Championship at the Toyota Speedway at Irwindale.  Video after the jump.
