About Us

Papadakis Racing is the most winning team in Formula Drift series history, with an unmatched record of five titles. Driver Fredric Aasbo won the 2015, 2021, 2022 Formula Drift titles, while Papadakis Racing scored back-to-back championships with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. Since partnering with the Toyota brand family, the team has brought home nine manufacturer's titles. 

The 1,000 horsepower Rockstar Energy Drink Toyota GR Supra is the team’s latest Formula Drift competition build for Toyota. It currently campaigns the series alongside the Papadakis Racing Rain-X Toyota GR Corolla driven by Ryan Tuerck. 

Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport-compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel-drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in drag racing, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis’ successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned a Civic that became only the fifth car to join the NHRA’s Sport Compact 200 MPH club.

Throughout its history, Papadakis Racing has demonstrated its commitment to exploring the limits of performance and has also competed in short-course off-road racing and road racing disciplines.
