Red Bull Drifting World Championship - World Champion

Semi finals would be against my friend, current and two-time Formula Drift Champion Tanner Foust. I led the first battle, hard and fast into Turn One and riding the wall the entire course. But he stuck with me the entire way. After the first round, with Tanner being real close and no advantage announced, I knew I had to push the limits. Tanner led the next run, and to my disappointment, he played a "check-up" game on the entry into initiation--the only driver to do so all weekend--stalling his acceleration for a split second to try to gain a gap. It didn't help enough, and I moved on.

Just before the start of the Final round, word comes in that we'll be up against Dai. My first thought was, regardless who would win the round, Rhys Millen Racing will be world champions. I was never so proud of my crew.

From my years driving the GTO, I knew it well, and had matched up against Dai twice this season. Dai drove amazingly well and it was a pleasure to battle against him--no games, just pure speed and precision. After the first round Dai was yelling in the radio at me "WTF Boss, you are so fast!" I could only laugh. Round Two, the final battle, would see Dai making a costly mistake and gifting me the title of "World Champion". Thanks Dai, for making it a win for both of us. And congrats to everyone of team RMR!
