Okay so I want to be impartial when talking about D1GP here in the United States but they make it very difficult impossible. According to D1’s official website they issue an apology for the cancellation of the 2008 Points series here in the United States but offer  “more information” coming soon on an  All Star Event in November at Irwindale Speedway. They of course provided no date or solid information in the post they released.

2008 November D1 Grand Prix ALL Star World Championship to take place at Irwindale Speedway. D1 Grand Prix announces the All Star World Championship at Irwindale speedway is scheduled to take place in November 2008. Please stay tuned to in the upcoming months, for all the details.

We regretfully announce the cancellation of only the series portion of D1 Grand Prix   for the U.S., after we had vigorously attempted to launch the 2008 series.  We at D1, due to issues and timing from the Japan series, and after conferring on the direction of the future, have decided to focus on the Worldwide series and also the championship for 2008 Irwindale Speedway event. Please note that our decision was based on the fact that we are dedicated to spreading the drift culture strongly and responsibly into the United States.

Our primary goal is to continue elevating and expanding the drift culture to everyone worldwide.

Thank you D1 Fans for all your support.

We look forward to seeing you all in November 2008 at Irwindale!!!
