News from XDC

Nick Hogan is confirmed to compete in the 2010 XDC tour, returning to the sport in a turbocharged black Nissan 350Z. Hogan will use this season to promote his charity, Keep It On The Track, which promotes safe driving and seat belt use across the country. Hogan is scheduled to be at all six XDC events, but may not compete until round two in Las Vegas if his car is not ready by March 20.

Coming from the Pacific Northwest community of drifters, Gleb Antonov has also been announced as a 2010 XDC Tour driver. A veteran of Formula Drift Pro-Am and the Evergreen Drift scene, Antonov also competed in a borrowed car in the Professional Russian Drift Series where he made the top-8. Antonov will compete in the same S13 that he drove throughout 2009 – which is the same S13 that he was pulled over in after drifting down Sunset Blvd after the Formula Drift Pro-Am event in Irwindale!

Dirt to Drift - ACP's Ready for Formula D 2010

Andrew "ACP" Comrie-Picard will be competing in the Formula Drift Championship this year, joining in among the ranks of Rhys Millen, Tanner Foust, and Stephan Verdier - who have all made the transition from rally to drift.

From ACP's blog on Wrecked Mag, ACP says "I’m new to drifting but I’ve done a lot of sideways driving as a rally competitor for the past few years. I’ve put on some good shows at X Games — including that flip in 2008 — and I’m back in rally this season to defend my North American Rally Championship. But I’m ready to take on something new in 2010."
