Federal named as partner sponsor of D1 Street Legal Drifting Series

July 15, 2010

Fourteen races, that encompass four categories which include East, West, Inter Series, and the Ladies Series which is the first of its kind this season, are going to take place at nine circuits across Japan, following a championship event at a special drifting track on the Tsukuba Circuit. Being a national street legal series, there are tighter restrictions on how a car can be modified, which means every car has to prove its road-worthiness by retaining the engine that it was originally supplied with. Also, a competitor wishing to be a part of the race event is required to obtain the D1SL license.

Speed plays a huge part in determining a winner in this competition; and the Federal 595RS-R street legal sport tire has been pushing drifting to the next level. The tire's unique performance to maintain its consistency, excellence in traction and stability in extreme conditions will benefit drivers who participate in organized drifting racing style burnout events.
