Today Formula DRIFT held their annual Tech Day at Source Interlink’s office in Irvine, CA. Many competition vehicles were previewed to the fans that attended as they received their tech inspection before the start of the season. Formula DRIFT champion Dai Yoshihara also made a brief appearance and will be selecting a car from the collection of fan vehicles to receive his signature series wheel.

Be sure to purchase your tickets before they sell out.
