GT Radial Gets 2nd Consecutive Podium in Formula DRIFT

Two races into the 2024 Formula DRIFT season, and GT Radial has two podium finishes. GT Radial driver Simen Olsen of Norway claimed second place for the second time this season with a strong showing at Road Atlanta on May 11.

Olsen, driving his Feal Suspension Nissan S14.9, lost to fellow Norwegian Fredric Aasbo in a thrilling final that went to One More Time after the judges were unable to separate the two drivers’ first runs. Unfortunately, Olsen experienced an electrical problem before the restart, which returned during the third run, causing him to lose power and retire. Olsen is in second place in the driver points standings.

“Road Atlanta is a tough track on tires with all the twists and turns but the GT Radial Champiro SX2 RS tires really showed their mettle,” said GT Radial Motorsports Manager Mike Meeiem. “Simen and the Feal Suspension Team are off to a great start, and we’re looking forward to more intense competition in Orlando.”
