Mopar out of drifting!

*Update 2* A lot of questions went flying around about the vehicles currently ran by NuFormz. Mopar informed us that “the vehicles will become team assets, so the managment and the future use is up to them.”

Formula Drift responds to the Mopar/Nuformz Partnership end…

“Formula DRIFT is saddened that the economy has caught up to another company close to Formula DRIFT. Mopar took a big gamble with our start up Series from day one and believed in the sport of drifting. During their partnership with NuFormz Racing and Samuel Hubinette, they amassed the most wins in FD history and 2 championships (2004 & 2006). We look forward to Chrysler’s restructuring and their eventual return to Formula DRIFT. In the meantime, we will work to assist NuFormz Racing to be able to finish off the 2009 season. The NuFormz/Hubinette combination is a world class championship organization, fans and sponsors can count on more success from them in the future.”
