Yes, you read that right! The folks at Papadakis Racing have revealed their latest build, a 1,000 horsepower Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback that will be competing in Formula Drift races this year. Here's a look at what it takes to transform a stock front-wheel-drive 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback into this rear-wheel-drive beast.

It's pretty amazing how much work went into the car! Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is currently the most winning team in Formula Drift history, including their 2015 title win, with driver Frederic Aasbo and back-to-back championships with driver Tanner Faust in 2007 and 2008.
