Default Formula D presents the first carbon fiber tropgies.... cooler than the gold ones

For the first time Formula DRIFT has authorized the use of carbon fiber trophies in lieu of the more traditional golden version for this year’s competition awards. The trophies were designed by APR Performance and enthusiasts along with the challengers will welcome the change.

The lightweight carbon fiber trophies might prove to be too lightweight for proper appreciation of those who will win them compared to the ten-pounder traditional trophies that provided a good feeling and a sense of expensiveness about them.

here is a much better shot of one of the trophie. I have to say I think this would look nicer in a trophy display
