Hooman Rahimi uses an Apollo Big Brake Kit on his fearsome drift machine
Tennessee-based pro drifter, Hooman Rahimi, is once again competing in the PROSPEC category of the prestigious Formula Drift series in the USA.
Rahimi entrusts EBC Brakes Racing’s Apollo Big Brake Kit with RP-1™ pads and GD rotors on his highly capable turbocharged LSX-powered Nissan 370Z.
Round one took the roadshow to Atlanta, where the team put in a solid effort to see Rahimi finish 5th.
Read how it all panned out in his team’s words below…
“We are back! We had a GREAT weekend with a 5th place finish! We could not be happier (unless we got a podium).
“The event went great for us. We were able to get the car finished up fairly early this year and got in our testing in March. This proved valuable and we really dealt with basically zero issues during practice and competition with the vehicle. Our biggest issue was an AN line that needed a little tightening. Everything worked as it should! It is a great feeling when you can just feel confident and rely on your vehicle. Especially when you are about to throw your car down the hill at ~90mph!”
“We were really happy with the changes we made on the car in the off-season! The car is much more responsive now and we have the forward bite that we were lacking before. This is really going to prove useful at later rounds and we can’t wait for Formula Drift New Jersey.
“We are starting to prep for Round 2 in New Jersey and I am starting to work on learning the world of virtual drifting so I can use that for practice. The car really does not need much to be ready for NJ so I will focus on myself…”
