FORMULA DRIFT 2022: ATLANTA, GA

Chris Forsberg Achieves Podium Finish at Atlanta!

After placing six drivers in the top 12 in Formula DRIFT last year, GT Radial is off to a good start in 2022 with three-time champion Chris Forsberg achieving second place at the Atlanta event on May 8.

Forsberg, who won the Formula DRIFT championships in 2009, 2014 and 2016, is still developing his new NOS Energy Drink Nissan Z on GT Radial Champiro SX2 RS tires. After working out some kinks in Round 1 at Long Beach, however, he looked unstoppable in Atlanta.

Forsberg competed with another GT Radial driver, Dan Burkett, in the Top 8 round. Burkett, driving the RAD Industries / GearWrench / GT Radial MkIV Toyota Supra, ended up finishing an impressive fourth.

After besting Corvette driver Matt Field in the Top 4 round, Forsberg went up against last season’s champion Fredric Aasbo in the final round. Despite a valiant effort, the three-time champion took home second place and was happy to step onto the podium for some well-deserved recognition.

Seven drivers are competing on GT Radial Champiro SX2 RS tires for the eight rounds of the 2022 Formula DRIFT season. The GT Radial tires were designed and are being manufactured at the company’s Richburg, SC, plant.

Section Width Section Width How to find your width? This three-digit number represents the width of the tire in millimeters (mm), measured from sidewall to sidewall. Since this measure is affected by the width of the rim, the measurement is done when the tire is on its intended rim size. Aspect Ratio Aspect Ratio How to find your aspect ratio? The aspect ratio is the relationship of a tire's sidewall height to its section width, expressed as a percentage. In this example, the tire sidewall height is approximately 55% of the tire width. The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number, the shorter the sidewall. Rim Diameter Rim Diameter How to find your Rim Diameter? The diameter of the rim in inches.
