FormulaD Orlando June 4-6 2015

Posted on

The FabricationLife media team got out to experience the recent FormulaD event in Orlando. With plenty of dramatic moments including exploding engines, fires, wall kisses and more, there was plenty to keep the eager fans entertained.

Attendance was great considering the weather didn’t really cooperate with consecutive rain days during both finals. Either way, the crowds were pumped and it provided some entertaining near misses and further reinforced their crazy driving skills.

Check out the recap video and selection of images from the event!

This could have been deadly had it not been for top notch safety equipment.  That, and proper chassis fabrication, is the only reason this was not a fatal ride that day in Cody’s used-to-be NSX, now coined Enviate.

A Honda in Formula Drift? Blasphemy says some, but this is something that has been anxiously anticipated by the masses, including us here at Vibrant Performance and Fabrication Life.

You are not reading wrong. 801hp on stock cylinder sleeves in Octavio’s K-series Civic. The power number and in general, the graph are amazing all the way across the board. Look at that Air Fuel! This thing is nuts. And while possibly a ticking time bomb, as everything eventually can blow up, we are proud to see people push the bar with numbers to truly test the walls of these blocks and the action. Do we have the balls to do it, possibly not, but it is a fun thing to watch for anyone who is a fan of making power and pushing limits to the maximum! Continue reading
