I have an FD shell sitting here that I want to widebody and drop a dogbox and sweet suspension into. Time Attack type of set-up. This inspires me.

Bergenholtz Racing Nitto Mazda RX-8 3-Rotor ready to make Formula D debut

June 1, 2009 - Bergenholtz Racing and Justin Pawlak are ready to make their Formula D debut at Wall, New Jersey. Bergenholtz Racing just completed two days of testing this past weekend at Balcony and The Oval in Willow Springs. Technical testing was conducted by the team for the optimum setup for Formula D’s Wall, New Jersey event. “The Mazda RX8 is completely insane. The 3-rotor makes so much power and sounds so sick. The NT05’s are sticking so hard that we actually have too much traction. I can’t wait to rock the house for all the Mazda fans in New Jersey.” Said Justin Pawlak drift pilot of Bergenholtz Racing.





Bergenholtz Racing is slated to make its Formula Drift debut this weekend aw Wall, New Jersey on June 5-6. Information regarding the event can be viewed on Formulad.com. Video of the test session can be viewed here:
