Formula Drift held its first event ever in Singapore at the Changi Exhibition Centre in front of a sold out crowd April 27, 2008.  11,000 drifting fans attended the inaugural Formula D event to watch 38 drifters from around the world compete.  In the end, Japanese drifter Ryuji Miki and his A’PEXi sponsored Mazda RX-7 took the win.

The event was organized in part by tire distributor Binter & Co’s motorsports division Binter Drifter.  A partnership between Formula Drift Holdings LLC and Binter & Co has formed to host additional Formula Drift Singapore events.

“This was truly a success for the first-ever Formula Drift Singapore and it certainly won’t be the last!” - Marcus Lim, General Manager of Binter & Co.
