All New Rockstar: Fredric Aasbo's 2020 Toyota GR Supra

At a recent private test at the legendary Irwindale Speedway, Fredric Aasbo got behind the wheel of his 2020 Toyota GR Supra for the first time and made a couple of tandem passes. Photographer Larry Chen caught the first still images, which are being shown today for the first time. The first videos of the team in action will be released in the coming weeks.

Aasbo is the most winning driver in Formula Drift history, with 13 career victories. He joined Papadakis Racing in 2011 and earned the series crown in 2015. He started his Formula Drift career in 2010 as a privateer in a Mark IV Supra and comes full circle this season as he takes the helm of his all new Toyota GR Supra.
