Chris Forsberg Career

2004

In 2004 Chris placed second at his first-ever Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta and followed it up with another podium finish at round 2 in Houston, Texas. As a privateer, Chris broke Sam Hubinette’s year-long undefeated streak at Irwindale Speedway which could be looked at as one of the turning points of his career.

Chris would drive the 350Z SR20DET for part of the inaugural season, and for one race had to switch to a borrowed Nissan Silvia S13 because of technical difficulties. The SR20DET Z finished the campaign.

After Irwindale, the team participated in a D1 event in which Chris became the first American driver to beat a Japanese driver, Team Orange’s Kazuhiro Tanaka.

2005

Chris competed in the Team Falken Password JDM Silvia S15. His last battle of the season was also the season finale and was against Rhys Millen in his GTO. Super Street documented the drama: “The finals between Rhys Millen and Team Falken’s Chris Forsberg would be something for the books, however. On Forsberg’s old 350Z, he had a sticker that said, “too close for missiles, switching to guns!” Well, in the season finale and the final battle, the sticker could have read ‘where there’s smoke, there’s fire!’ That’s right, in blazing glory and a fiery drift battle, Forsberg’s rear bumper lit up as he went completely sideways through the course at speeds only Millen could duplicate. A one more time was in the works which proved too much for Millen’s GTO. Suspension problems would ensue on the GTO as Forsberg continued his consistency through the track at blazing speed producing tons of smoke.” Chris moved on to win the round and would attain his first Formula Drift win.

2006

Nissan North America took notice of Chris’ driving campaign efforts and so they gave him a convertible 350z for the 2006 season. The team swapped the stock VQ35DE engine for the Nissan Titan’s VK56DE V8. This was not a competitive car for Chris and he had to use his backup car, the SR20DET 350Z for a few rounds as he sorted out the V8 and its chassis. He had two unfavorable rounds of the seven, though he still qualified.

2007

This was the first year Chris was running his own team and acting as team manager. Collaborating with Maxxis tires, and on a shoestring budget, he would campaign a top-three level team. This was a breakout year for Chris Forsberg Racing fueled by contingency money. Because they kept winning, Maxxis would match Formula Drift’s earned winnings. The team finished a strong second place overall, paving the way for his NOS Energy Drink sponsorship.

2008

NOS Energy Drink commits to a full title sponsorship, building on their previous relationship. The year started off beating Tanner Foust and Sam Hubbinette at Long Beach, taking first place.

2009

Chris would win his first Formula Drift championship, as well as the Tires.com Triple Crown bonus prize (first driver to win both in the same season). His win marks the first time a Formula Drift champion has come from a purely drifting/enthusiast background whereas previous champions had professional motorsport experience.

2010

Formula Drift in the new decade brought in more V8s and more power. Midway through 2010 the team installed an upgraded Nissan Motorsports engine adding 200 hp, bringing total horsepower up from approximately 380rwhp to 580rwhp. 2010 proved to be another year of growth for the team in which they set themselves up for future competitiveness.

2011

This was Chris’s first full season in a 370Z and a Nissan Motorsports engine. This car had a factory angle, factory brakes, and a factory gas tank. Nissan supplied the chassis and motor. The car was mildly built with a focus on good reliability. The team finished 3rd overall.

2012

The team parted ways with their crew chief and Chris moved to Maryland, where MA Motorsports would prepare and build his race cars. Focus was on vehicle weight reduction and engine reliability. The team would finish 11th overall.

2013

This season proved to be a contentious one. Chris would get second overall, but not without rumors, wild accusations, and conspiracy theories.

2014

This season Chris and the team held points position from the first round to the last round (*never lost points position*) and would clinch his second Formula Drift title. Lost NOS Energy Drink as a primary sponsor due to the company’s corporate restructuring resulting in fewer funds and a raw carbon fiber matte black livery. This season the car was upgraded by 150 hp which included nitrous. The Forsberg Racing team also expanded to include two cars for 2014, with Jhonnattan Castro taking the second seat in an updated version of Forsberg’s 2012 370Z chassis.

2015

Third overall. Ran the first half of the season without major financial support. Third-year in a row of top three championship finishes.

2016

Despite not winning an event, Forsberg was crowned Formula Drift champion once again piloting his V8-powered Nissan 370Z. His consistency (two third-place finishes and four second-place finishes, all consecutively) allowed him to take the championship lead after round six in Seattle, which he continued to defend until the final round in Irwindale. He also won the Formula Drift World Championship after participating in a Formula Drift World Championship round in Okayama, Japan, which made him eligible to score World Championship points.

2017

Chris moved back to California from Maryland. Nameless Performance took over the race team management and vehicle prep. The team decided to develop a twin-turbo VQ35HR engine package versus the V8. The season’s 11th overall finish was due to multiple engine issues and having to use the backup car several times

2018

Chris takes control of the race team yet again and rebuilds the car with his team in southern California. This was a year of growth for the pit crew at Forsberg Racing and a lot of work was put into making the car more competitive. Even with multiple engine failures, the team managed several podiums as well as a win in Round 3. The team finished fourth overall.

2019

After two years of struggling with the VQ platform, the team committed to the Nissan VR38DETT engine. The team finished sixth overall and was able to prove the VR engine’s reliability.

2020

Chris lands on the podium at Round 5 and backs it up with a 1st Place finish in Round 6. Engine failure during Round 7 and 8 took them out of the championship hunt, pulling out a borrowed car to maintain overall points, finishing 5th overall.
