Track Side ToolBox Tour // Formula Drift / Taylor Hull

Experience the Track Side Toolbox Tour with Formula Drift Driver Taylor Hull

Get ready to step behind the scenes with Taylor Hull, the powerhouse driver of the Comp Cams Corvette, proudly rolling on Konig Wheels. Taylor takes you on an exclusive tour under the canopy, where precision meets performance. This is more than just a pit stop—it’s a masterclass in what it takes to stay ahead in the high-stakes world of Formula Drift.

Elevate Your Game: The Ultimate Pit Setup

Taylor invites you into a moment of transformation. The team is in the midst of upgrading their trailer setup, spares, and storage, pushing the boundaries of efficiency and performance. With every component laid out, it’s clear: this isn’t just about racing—it’s about mastering the art of preparation. From wires and valves to control arms and coilovers, each spare part is meticulously organized, ensuring that everything is within arm’s reach when it counts.

The Power of Spares: Ready for Anything

In the world of Formula Drift, unpredictability is the only certainty. Taylor’s team embodies this truth with a strategy built on redundancy and resilience. A spare transmission is being swapped back in after a successful rebuild, exemplifying the team’s commitment to keeping their machine in peak condition. It’s not just about having spares; it’s about having the right spares—like the quick-change rear differential and a stockpile of Konig Wheels and tires, ready to take on the rigors of the track.

Precision Tools for Precision Racing

The heart of the operation lies in the meticulously organized pit box. Every tool has its place, from screwdrivers and wrenches to sockets and catch-all drawers. In the heat of competition, there’s no time to waste, and this mobile workshop ensures that Taylor’s team is always prepared. Whether it’s a routine adjustment or a race-saving repair, the tools are ready, and the team knows exactly where to find them.

Fueled by Power: The Heart of the Beast

Taking a closer look at the car itself, Taylor reveals the power that propels his Corvette—an 1100-horsepower monster equipped with a Magnuson TVS2650 LS3/LSA supercharger. This isn’t just an engine; it’s a testament to engineering excellence, with every part upgraded for strength and durability. From titanium valves to a completely aftermarket build, this car is designed to dominate the track. And of course, it rolls on Konig Wheels, ensuring that all that power translates to precision and performance on the tarmac.

Konig Wheels: The Foundation of Performance

Taylor’s Corvette features a unique wheel setup, tailored for optimal performance. With a Heliogram 18×8.5 setup in the front and 18×10.5 in the back, these wheels are more than just functional—they’re a key part of the team’s strategy. The decision to convert the rear to a 5×114.3 bolt pattern speaks to the importance of versatility and consistency. With this setup, the team can quickly adapt to any situation, ensuring they’re always ready to race.

The Road Ahead: Bigger, Better, Faster

As Taylor wraps up the tour, he teases the next evolution in their setup. With a new trailer on the horizon, the team is gearing up for even greater efficiency and organization. It’s a continuous journey of improvement, a relentless pursuit of perfection that mirrors the spirit of Formula Drift itself.

Stay tuned for more insights and behind-the-scenes access as Taylor Hull and his team continue to push the limits of what’s possible on the track.
