Love it or hate it, the Rockstar Scion is a force to be reckoned with in today’s Formula D circuit. Despite being highly competitive, this is planned to be the car’s last year in pro drifting. It is being retired after this season and a new car is currently being planned based on the new 2011 TC which should be released next year as well. We are both eager to see the new car and scared as to how much we will have to up the ante to remain competitive!
