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!
