Discovery Turbo presents Drift Style

Slide into your sofa and settle into the sidle of lifetime, as Discovery Turbo presents a reality series, Drift Style. A high-skilled, high-powered motor sport where drivers intentionally maneuver their cars into well executed, controlled sideways slide at high speeds as they race through a marked course. Watch the adrenaline soar, as the drivers take their heavily customized street cars around the track mixing speed with style. With so much stress loads acting on the car, Drifting is a testament to every part on the car. The show embeds the viewer inside the world of the Formula Drift Pro Championship Series. Established as one of the most exciting drift event of the year, Formula Drift Pro Championship Series brings together traditional racing and extreme sports. With a high-speed entry and very tight spacing between the cars and walls, the Formula Drift consists of a seven round championship played out at race tracks across the United States. Drifting the car is one thing, but to drift as close and as fast with other cars may look like a lot of fun but is all about car control, skill and focus which includes making right turns. In the drift style of racing, drivers race head-to-head on their high three-digit horsepower engines and literally screech around tracks. The winner is judged on basis of line, speed, angle execution and style, with the teams putting on a show through the entire course without making any mistakes. The season unfolds to the final finish line giving the viewer an intimate sense of what drift style is all about. Each episode examines the backbone of the sport, its characters and the incredible action of race day. The ongoing story lives in the eyes of the drivers, the pit crews and the organizers, as they face a competitive and trying season. A seven-part series, Drift Style premieres every Sunday, starting 10 June (2012) at 8 pm on Discovery Turbo.
