Formula Drift Orlando was an incredible event with intense battles and close finishes. Connor Shanahan took the first place, followed by James Dean in second and Brandon Sorenson in third. Hiro Minowa also deserves recognition for his impressive performance. In terms of point standings, James Dean now has a lead over Simon Olsen, with Odi Bacis close behind. Frederick Osbo and Brandon Sorenson also made notable progress. It was a great round with many exciting moments. Formula Drift Orlando is in the books and it's been a few days on our minds. Let's talk about it. Firstly I'm going to go over the podium finishers. Obviously Connor Shanahan wins the event in P1. Coming in P2 is James Dean another solid points of it. And then P3 first podium for Brandon Sorenson. He was driving incredible that night. So overall I will say this has been one of the best events in recent memory as far as battles go, how close they are, how much action-packed they are. The one more times were justified. This is for sure a candidate for round of the year. Now we mentioned the obvious Connor Shanahan James Dean those guys doing great. Brandon Sorenson doing really great with third. And then I want to shout out Hiro Minowa for almost making it to the finals. He would have been the youngest and it is insane how good and how amazing that kid is driving. And he went up against the greatest and put up a fight. Just to recap what I just said. Amazing round. One of the rounds of the year. A lot of good challengers. A lot of really close battles. Amazing battles and it was awesome. Well to wrap out this upload I'm going to go over the current point standings after Orlando. So James Dean now has a cushion over Simon Olsen in the point standings. 1-2. Third, Odi Bacis not far behind. Fourth, Frederick Osbo. Fifth, Brandon Sorenson making his way to a career best. Hiroya Minowa there in sixth. I can talk about this kid all day. He is doing great things. Seventh, Matt Field. Eighth, Nick Novak in eighth. Ninth, RCP in rounding out the tenth position is Ken Gushi. Actually eight, nine, and ten are tied. So quick shout out to FD on their socials. Thank you guys for making these point standing graphic.
