Schelley placed 22nd out of 60-plus vehicles, scoring 85 points. His Mazda Rx-7 was shod with Federal 595 Competition Series tires.
“A tire plays a critical and crucial vehicle safety component since it is the only part of a vehicle in contact with the road,” Schelley said after the event. “The Federal tires seamlessly integrated with the Mazda Rx-7, and offered sensitive road feedback which delivered the correct guidance in a split second so as to make the track easy to navigate.”

Engaging with Schelley and his crew during high-class sport activities has proved a “win-win” situation for both the tire sponsor and the drifter himself. The sponsorship has added a substantial platform to increase recognition of the Taiwan-based Federal brand in the U.S. and even strengthen the position into the international scene, the company said.
