On this episode of The MF Show, hosts Jerry Zaiden and Richard Waitas sit down with Chris Forsberg, three-time Formula Drift champion and founder of Forsberg Racing. Born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Chris helped spark the northeast drift scene before relocating to Southern California.
We look into Forsberg’s journey that has led him to becoming one of the most respected drivers in the series, competing in every round of Formula Drift since 2004. He breaks down his commitments, including his builds, fab work, tuning, and how mental grit matters just as much as horsepower. Chris shares insights into his long-standing relationship with Nissan, the evolution of his signature drift cars, and the process of developing R&D-backed parts through Forsberg Racing. He also talks about expanding beyond drift into off-road racing, NORRA, and new terrains that challenge both engineering and adaptability.
