Yet another serious race car running a Delicious Tune. Great job on finishing 4th in his debut race and only 1.2 seconds off the fastest lap time. WC PDF Results Tony Rivera's Scion FRS is currently running Delicious Tuning's Stage 2 NA Tune. Not too bad for an OTS tune.

Cheers,

OTS? What mods are BrassMonkey Racing running on that FR-S? One of the announcers said the TCs were running about 250HP. He appears to be a little down on power compared to the Honda which qualified 3 sec faster. Hopefully, with a tune more specific to his car he can close that gap in the future. Great result for a maiden voyage.

I am really happy to see a team running the FR-S in a top tier pro series at last. I checked the FB page but it has not been updated since 2012 when they were running a BMW in Continental. Maybe with this result we will start to see updates and some information about the team and car.

The second race for the TC class BrassMonkey Racing Scion FR-S will be streamed live online in two hours from now.

@Rampage @Frozen_skidmark
Please correct if I'm wrong but could it be Toyota/Subaru dump a lot of money in formula drift because the car has a natural affinity for it and gets the attention of target buyers therefore not a lot of dollars spent on research and development? Perhaps Toyota/Subaru have been resistant to a road racing series because they might be pigeonholed finally into having to homologate more motor for these cars to be consistently competitive and it's QUITE clear that's not a priority as of yet. "Best drift" is subjective, consistently winning races is not...and an expensive endeavor.
PLEASE chime in how these series work and if I'm off base. IDK. I want this car competing and competitive in road racing as it should be!

I think it's just a Japan thing actually. You can put a small drift track in half the real estate a road course takes. It's huge there and they have an affinity for it. I don't mind it but it gets pretty boring to watch after a while.
The Aussie v8 series, grand sport, touring, ST series are coming on strong in North America, Europe, Australia because it's economically viable and more exciting. Might even give NASCAR and F1 a run for their money in a few years. You can provide a lot more entertainment if the cars don't cost $500,000 each or more.
I like the Grand sport and ST class Continental series because they're realistic obtainable cars. I mean it's a little slower, but all the racing skill is still there.

I think it'll gain some ground. I think it's pretty cool to watch a car that you actually own in a racing series. And, I don't think it'll take the manufactures long to figure it out. That's how NASCAR started after all.

I heard that the Brass Monkey FRS is competing again this year with Tony Rivera as driver.

Does anyone have any details/confirmation of this?

We were scheduled with USTCC for COTA the weekend after PWC but got cancelled due to low car count. So now our next race is that same weekend with the SCCA Major Tour at chuckwalla raceway
