Bill Sherman is back!
Posted by Wrecked Magazine on 18 Aug 2008 at 05:20 pm | Tagged as: Formula D, Major Announcements, Rumors/Gossip
The car he started 2008 with has been stolen by a teen heart throb and no one has really seen him since NOPI Columbus, Ohio but we found Bill Sherman and have the scoop for you. Bill Sherman will be stepping back into his 2007 NOPI championship vehicle for the remaining parts of the 2008 Formula D season under the Retaks/Bridgestone Tire team. Bill has seen quite some success in this vehicle including sustaining a top 10 driver score wise in Formula D with it. This should be a great treat for everyone in Sonoma coming up right around the corner.
Retaks must of mustard out a pretty penny to practice at LVMS.
Could just went down the highway to willow since they are coming to Cali anyway.
That will be fun to see he tore it up in that car.
Yeah!!! for Retaks/Bridgestone, hear comes the smoke how exciting, Good News
Glad to see him back.
Braille is a crap team to begin with, so it’s good that he is moving up in the world.
“Braille is a crap team to begin with, so it’s good that he is moving up in the world.”
Bill Sherman is a capable driver - but the team move as an upgrade?
2008 Braille Battery Team:
Formula D Bill’s highest finish was a Top 8 in Atlanta
NOPI: Bill’s highest finish was 1st place
(series go bye bye)
2007 Enjuku Racing:
Formula D Bill’s highest finish was a Top 8 in Atlanta
NOPI: Bill’s highest finish was 1st place
(series 1st)
It’ll be great to see what he can do in the same car he drove last year which with less funding than when he got everything he wanted from Enjuku…
Maybe it’ll work, maybe not… it’ll be interesting to see what happens for sure.
The Retaks team along with many others in FD has a tough fight against teams that have more funding and a lot more experience in racing.
Remember, “If you go the same way you’ve always gone, you’ll get the same places you’ve been”
Your right if you dont have a major series sponsor you dont get further then top 8. EX.Bill smoked out Rhys in Atlanta but Rhys got the win funny how RED BULL was the main sponsor for that event. The next event Summit Point Hubinette was all the hype prior to the event Bill beat him and Hubinette got the win. Its a business more then a drifting series keep the major sponsors happy.Dont forget how Forseberg is getting hosed this year. He was a major threat to the big boys with the big sponsors now he struggles to make it into top 8. Its actually a joke when they do that pick the winner crap. You only need to say Rhys/Sam/Tanner/Dai ( I know im leaving someone out) and you win.
That picture is not of Bill Sherman testing I am pretty sure. I think it’s their old driver. I am pretty sure Wrecked used it as a reference to show you the car he will be in. I think that is prior to FD Vegas with their old driver.
I wish he would just go away. There is a reason he can’t stay on a team.
Events Bill Sherman/Enjuku Racing DNF/DNS Due to mechanical failure in 2007. Zero.

Events Bill Sherman/Braille Batteries DNF/DNS Due to mechanical failure/team failure of basic race team functions in 2008. 50% of events?
John,
I agree with your FD Conspiracy…Except for the whole thing about Pawlek, Brakiohapa, Yoshioka, Takatori etc. Its totally bogus how they only use people who aren’t Braille Auto/Bill Sherman on the actual Formula Drift flyer for places like Vegas. Shame on you Formula Drift, shame on you!!
