As more announcements seem to be rolling in it appears the Florida Drift Championship has arranged a partnership with the D1 Grand Prix series. They are going to throw a D1 Underground Drifting Series over the course of 2009. What does this mean? The Florida Drift Championship license will be recognized by D1 and they will be able to bypass the amateur qualifying and move into the main qualifying round at events. The qualifier being held tomorrow in Gainsville, Florida will grant four new licensed drivers providing an opportunity for drivers to secure placement before the May 30th D1 USA event.
I received several documents and links based on this announcement but couldn’t locate a 2009 schedule for these events. I am assuming before the May 30th event south east drifters will be able to get another chance for a license but I will keep this updated as time goes by. The official D1GP USA website has a thumbnail denoting the D1 Underground series but the page is not live/thumbnail isn’t a link so at the moment we have no more information on the Underground Drift series. I am assuming that they are going to announce more partners like the Florida Drift Championship soon who will grant licenses.
