What is Thrash Racing?
Transcript
Seen the bombastic seats from Thrash Racing, but what's the brand tier? Thrash Racing is an old Japanese brand that was revived a few years ago by Youssef. Youssef grew up in California, and when it was time for him to get his own car, his dad threw him an old stack of magazines to get inspired. That's where he saw some old JDM cars that looked cool all dinged up with duct tape on the bumpers and an old Super Street. He later went on to work with Wolfrain and Stacked to import cars and parts from Japan. And during the first Super D, he noticed that none of the big Japanese brands were supporting smaller drift events except for Koio. And he remembered that Thrash would always support the smaller drivers and events, and that's where his research started. He learned that the previous owner of Thrash passed away, and so he ended up talking to a bunch of old drivers, friends, and families of the previous owner and asked if it was okay if he good revive the rank, and they all agreed. Since then, he's been staying true to the fun nature that Thrash had before he took over.
