With four of seven rounds complete, we are now past the halfway point of the 2012 Formula Drift season. With round five kicking off today in Monroe, Washington we want to ask the Speedhunters readers for their predictions on the tight 2012 championship race.
Justin Pawlak – 342 Points. Justin Pawlak has held on to the championship lead for the entire season so far, but as of now his lead is down to a mere 13 points.
Daigo Saito – 329 Points. In second place is of course Daigo, who has turned the Formula Drift world upside down in his first season of US competition. The battle between JTP and Daigo is sure to be intense over the remaining three events this year.
Dai Yoshihara 291 Points. Not to be forgotten is the defending champ Dai Yoshihara who remains in striking distance from fourth place.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. 279 Points. Vaughn Gittin Jr. is riding a wave of momentum following his win in New Jersey, and he could still find himself in contention come the end of the season.
Chris Forsberg 265 Points. Rounding out the top five is ’09 champ Chris Forsberg. As we’ve seen in the past, anything can happen in the fight for the championship, so “The Force” is not to be counted out.
So, which of these drivers do you predict will be holding the title come October?
