Ken Gushi Returns to Drifting in 2006 with an All New Toyo Tires Ford Mustang

Drifting sensation, Ken Gushi, returns to the 2006 season with an all new Toyo Tires® Ford Mustang GT drift car. Gushi rocked the drifting world last season, scoring a historic first-ever win with a Ford Mustang GT during the third round of the Formula D Championship in Houston, Texas. Gushi ultimately finished third in the 2005 Need for Speed Formula D Championship. This effort also confirmed Toyo Tires’ commitment to the exciting sport of Drifting.

Making the Third Place Championship position even more remarkable is the fact that 2005 was a development year for the team using an early production 2005 Mustang GT. For 2006, the team represents an even bigger threat to drifting competitors, as it boasts a brand new 2006 Ford Mustang GT racer assembled by Ford Performance Racing Parts. According to Ken Gushi, “I can’t wait to get into the new car. We learned a lot last year. The new mods will make even more excitement for our fans.”

In addition to several updates to the configuration of the car, the Mustang will have a bolder stance with even wider Toyo Proxes T1R™ ultra-high performance tires. The new Toyo Tires® Mustang GT will also sport a wild new red paint scheme with the introduction of BASF as a sponsor of the vehicle. According to Stan Chen, Project Manager, Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation, “Our first year with Ken Gushi as a driver has been phenomenal. As expected, he delivered a championship-contending performance, and we are confident we will be vying for the championship once again.” Look for the Toyo Tires® Ford Mustang GT at both D1 and Formula D drifting events around the country.
