In 2012 Mauricio Marin, a competitor in the Streetwise and U.S. Drift series saw a project that sparked his interest. He loved the look and feel of the design and he wanted the same for his competition car for the upcoming drift season. This project was straight forward in the sense that all the parts would be off the shelf and not custom as some projects in the past have been. However for 2013 a Philadelphia theme was the focus as it was Mauricio’s home town. Ideas were discussed and over the course of 4 weeks the design came to life. It started with the look of the car and grew to the livery. As usual two final options were given, a mild and a “wild” in the event of major sponsor support in the form of financing. However the final design was widely praised and inserted into many promotional videos and photo’s. The balancing of the sponsor logo’s and the design itself was a difficult but rewarding task.
