FDrift taxi 2013

[Grant Monkhouse]

He doesn\'t compete in formula D any more, he switches between the fd and rx8 for the D1 NZ championship. The FD is mainly for demos.

If he turbo\'d the 4 rotor he would have 1,000 HP easily so that would be better than the rx8s power. One of his friends/customers has a single turbo 4 rotor in a Lexus. Iirc. It\'s on his YouTube channel, check it out.

I rekon he will turbo it as the car is currently in its fifth generation of modification, and always does something to get his name back in the spot light or get more sponsors.

He is also driving a 4 rotor in the Asia formula D by Magic I think and they\'re going to be turboing that 4 rotor to make it competitive in that series

I know he doesn\'t do Formula D any more, I said Formula D style events, relatively high speed tracks requiring a broader spread of torque.  Plus I think half the FD\'s appeal is its immense noise and turbos would kill that.
