One of the biggest stories so far this year in Formula Drift has been the arrival of Japanese drift ace Daigo Saito. Because this is Daigo’s first season in Formula Drift he is considered a rookie in the yearly standings, going up against the grassroots drivers fighting for the important Rookie of the Year title.
On one hand he is a newcomer to the courses and judging style of Formula Drift, but at the same time he’s already a well-established driver and a powerhouse in the world drift scene – having already claimed championships in both D1GP and the Asian FD series.
With round three of Formula Drift kicking off down in Florida today, we wanted to ask the Speedhunters readers whether they think Daigo Saito should be considered a Formula Drift rookie or not.
Feel free to voice your opinions in the comments as well.
