Faruk Kugay, Formula Drift Pro drive, came on the podcast to give some major announcements. One of them, (not hard to figure out) is that he has now partnered up with Konig. But the second announcement will shock most of his fans!
This is a really great episode of the podcast and Faruk is a lot of fun to listen to. Scott and Faruk go through the ins and outs of having a professional program, his personal evolution in drifting and what it takes to run a program. Faruk is super down to earth and reveals so many things about himself, how he funds his program working 4 jobs (bet you won’t guess what they are), his most frustrating issues with his program and how he plans to move forward.
If you’re not a Faruk Kugay drift fan, you will be by the end!
By the way, PODCAST listeners will get the scoop on his major announcements before the YouTube viewers. We will be releasing the podcast on our YouTube channel in 5 parts starting today at 5 pm. We will be releasing another part of this podcast every day until the conclusion.
We will update this page below! Part 3 is the Konig announcement and Part 4 is Faruk’s major announcement. That will be live on Monday at 8 am EST (on YouTube).
