The new Irwindale Formula Drift Track

So Formula Drift has revised the track layout for Irwindale Speedway, the new track is said to encourage more tandem drift action, but it is not a real dramatic change. But the new course is shorter and cuts one of the best sections in the whole course by ending in the middle of what was the final S turn.

Below are the two course side by side. (old course from previous press materials)

While it is not a big change it will mean we can’t get photos like this any more in the final turn.
