GT Radial Dominates Again! Double Podium Strike!
GT Radial had another great performance in Formula DRIFT on June 24 in New Jersey with 2nd and 3rd place finishes, the second time this season that two GT Radial drivers stood on the podium together.
The success at the Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in New Jersey marked four podium finishes for GT Radial in four Formula DRIFT events in 2023. GT Radial driver Matt Field has taken the lead in the Championship Points Race, and GT Radial has five drivers in the top 10 at the midway point of the season. The next race will be July 15 in St. Louis, MO.
In New Jersey, second place Simen Olsen on GT Radial Champiro SX2 RS tires almost claimed his maiden victory in a final that went to One More Time as the judges struggled to separate the driving prowess of Adam LZ and Olsen. Having switched from a Toyota to drive the Feal Suspension Nissan S14.9 this season, Olsen has done a remarkable job of adapting to the new car. He jumped from 14th to fifth in the title race
By finishing third in New Jersey, Matt Field gave his championship aspirations a significant boost as his rivals were eliminated prematurely, returning Field to the FD PRO Championship lead with a 41-point cushion.
