The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the2022, 2021 and 2015 titles with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back to back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nitto Tire Toyota GR Supra is the latest competition build from the Carson, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first frontwheel drive, tubechassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in frontdrive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in frontwheel drive were matched by his efforts in rearwheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club.
