Competition in Formula Drift is Intense, and today’s Top Formula Drift drivers know that consistency is key. Unlike other racing, Formula D is judged on line, angle, and style, rather than who finishes first. With a unique judging formula that puts emphasis on the interaction between two drivers competing head to head, Formula D keeps crowds actively entertained. Drivers run mere inches from the wall, attempting to shadow their competitor and repeat the perfect line. The Formula D field of cars consists of variety of engines/chassis combinations, creating huge power commonly in excess of 850+ hp. That power requires reliable cooling.

As a top contender in Formula D competition for nearly 15 years, Justin Pawlak, aka JTP, understands the demand put on a drift vehicle’s engine and components. As a long-time C&R client, Justin contacted C&R’s engineering group to talk about how he could approach his unique cooling needs. The result left Justin blown away when C&R stepped in and engineered their solution to meet his exacting specifications. According to this world-class drift driver, “C&R lived up to the hype—I mean, they are legit!”

Watch this video as Justin explains C&R’s exceptional engineering capabilities, maximized design efficiency, and rapid from-concept-to-installation turnaround time.
