I don't know all the FD rules, but I know once the competition starts you can call a timeout for only a certain time to 'fix' something and if you do not get to the line you forfeit. So, simplifying the engine/car is key to staying competitive.

A blower (especially roots or twin screw) would definitely be the way to go for a road course car, tho'. To ram a car sideways, the shot actuator probably acts like a "slide" button.
That all makes sense. I just figured nitrous would be a little bit too volatile, but who am I to argue with a pro drifter and his race team.

Looks like a tight fit! I wish they would put a V8 in these cars.

My opinion on the next Z, which follows the current trend, would be a 2.4L turbo... I wonder what they could call it.

Having been to Formula Drift for at least 8 years now I can tell you that there is a HUGE difference between the 300-500hp cars they all started with to todays +1000hp beasts. Even when the 600-700hp monsters go up against something with +1000hp you can without a doubt tell the difference. The cars with more power catch up to the lead cars so much quicker while still maintaining their angle. I was asking myself the same question before I saw it in action. hah
