The GT Radial Champiro SX2 RS, manufactured at the company\u2019s plant in Richburg, SC, has been strong in Formula DRIFT competition all season and finished on a strong note at the Irwindale Speedway on Oct. 15 when driver Jeff Jones finished third.<\/p>\n

This marked the 6th<\/sup><\/span> podium finish for GT Radial in the now completed Formula DRIFT 2022 season which comprised eight competitions. In addition to Jones\u2019 success in Irwindale, three-time Formula DRIFT champion Chris Forsberg achieved three podium finishes in Seattle, Atlanta and Orlando. GT Radial scored first-place finishes in St. Louis with driver Kazuya Taguchi and in New Jersey with driver Travis Reeder.<\/p>\n

GT Radial finished 2nd<\/sup><\/span> in the Tire Cup Standings, a remarkable feat considering that GT Radial returned to Formula DRIFT competition just one year ago and was competing against brands with longtime drifting experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a remarkable year for GT Radial, our drivers, the support teams and all our team members at the South Carolina plant who played an instrumental role in producing a winning competition tire,\u201d said GT Radial Motorsports Manager Mike Meeiem. \u201cWe look forward to building on our successes next year!\u201d<\/p>\n
