Formula D Finals - Close Call

Semi Finals
With both Forsberg and Foust in the semi-finals, there was no doubt that one of them would walk away with the season championship. Things were looking good for Tanner: his semi-final rival Kenji Yamanaka suffered a heavy hit of bad luck when he hit the wall. Foust once again walked away with the win and now had a guaranteed spot on the podium.

It looked like Foust could take it all, but he didn't have the win just yet. Forsberg went up against Yoshihara, and both drivers delivered what may very well have been the most exciting run of the night. Both cars threw big smoke, crazy angle and even briefly made contact with each other. This first battle was too tough to call, so both drivers were sent out to fight it out one more time. Forsberg took the win the second time around, putting the first and second-place drivers of the season head-to-head in a winner-take-all battle.

FINALS
Foust and Forsberg both delivered solid runs, but the judges gave the win to Foust. Tanner took both first place in the final round and the season overall. Forsberg and Yoshihara took second and third place, respectively, for both the event and overall season.

Forsberg Wins Tires.com Triple Crown
Chris ended his season in second place, but don't feel bad for him: he won the Tires.com Triple Crown championship, pocketing an extra-fat check and a sweet electric guitar. In other award-winning news, privateer Joon Maeng won Rookie of the Year--quite the accomplishment considering he ran the entire season with no sponsor support. Congrats, guys!
