Nate Hamilton’s road to Atlanta…

Once again our boy Nate makes top 16. The thing about Nate Hamilton is you can honestly watch his driving and see how much he loves this. He driving is getting better and better in Formula Drift Pro, but thats not what is so special. The special part is you can watch Nate Drift and just feel how much passion he has for the sport. As his seat time increases so does his comfort level. Has his comfort level is increasing his driving keeps notching up. Watching Nate in his match against Castro you could just see Nate driving the hell out of the car…control, comfort and confidence, its great to watch. Make sure to check out his recap below and then check them out for Round 4 in Wall NJ coming up First weekend in June!

FORMULA DRIFT ATLANTA – PRO 1 Round 3 | MAY 12 & 13

Round 3 of Formula Drift continues with one of the fastest tracks of my season, ROAD ATLANTA.

This track is gnarly, I knew coming into this event I would need to be focused. Once we arrived and loaded in, the first thing on the schedule was Thursday’s practice. My goal was to be consistent and build momentum run after run.

After having a good session on Thursday, Fridays Qualifying was the only thing on my mind.

My first run scored a 79, the second run came in at 81. This resulted in a 17th position overall for the Pro1 qualifications. I was set to battle Jhonnathan Castro in the TOP32!

With a healthy motor and a clear mind, I was able to Win the battle against J. Castro! This would be my second TOP16 performance in a row.

After everything was said and done, we ended our event in the Top16. I have steadily been moving forwards in the overall points standings. We are headed to Round 4 in 17th position overall.
I can’t thank my entire team and sponsors for all the love this season.
