MADE TO DRIFT VIDEO SERIES RELEASE – FORMULA DRIFT TURBO HONDA S2000 BUILD
Seattle, Washington – Chris Jeanneret Racing and SpeedFactory Racing are launching ‘Made to Drift’ – an online video series that will follow the build of their turbocharged Honda S2000 for the 2014 Formula DRIFT season.
Being produced by ImportMeet.com, ‘Made to Drift’ will follow every aspect of the build as well as testing prior to Round 1 of Formula DRIFT in Long Beach, California. The first video in the series – Chris Jeanneret Reveals Plans for Formula Drift Turbo Honda S2000 – Made to Drift Ep. 1 – formally announces the project and introduces Chris and the team at SpeedFactory Racing that will be building the car.
“When I heard that Chris and SpeedFactory were working together to build a Honda S2000 to compete in FD I immediately wanted to get involved,” said Matt Haugness, owner of ImportMeet.com. “This will be one of the most unique cars on the track, and I’m excited to have other enthusiasts follow the build with us.”
Well known for their ability to produce incredibly fast Hondas to compete in drag racing SpeedFactory rarely shows what happens behind the doors of their shop. “Most videos online show passes of our race cars at the drag strip,” said SpeedFactory General Manager, Matthew Hurlbut. “We are looking forward to having a video series that shows off our capabilities as builders and fabricators.”
Entering his second season of Formula DRIFT Chris knows how important a strong media presence is. “When the opportunity was presented to me to do a video series following the build I knew I had to take advantage of it,” explained Chris Jeanneret, FD driver. “It is important for me to make a connection with my fans and show them what it takes to build a car to compete in Formula DRIFT.”
