i think it is pretty interesting

the idea is to race, and have good lines, but while trying to have the car on the brink of control


it was actually quite a sight to see in real life, much more exciting in my mind compared to something like nascar


though the ricer element is kinda there (it is a sport born in japan) but because d1 limits only to rwd powered cars (or awd converted to rwd) cars like civics and integras are excluded)

Why do they put a wing on the rear of a drift car? Don't they want to spin the tires? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I hope they don't allow that in California.

Think of the toxic crap being emitted into the air with all that tire smoke.

I'm sure some of it must be known by the state of California to cause some sort of cancer in some species of something.



Someone should write to the California legislature about this problem of epidemic proportions.

Just not a real fan of this. Your not on the brink of losing control with this. I would think you really have more control as you are already loose. You just steer with the throttle. Yes, more amusing than NASCAR but still (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

For me, it's not about in or out of control, or style, or whatever the hibbity dibbity.

It's that drifting is slower than just driving the car. /argument.

I can't believe that so many people get psyched to go half speed around the track. And kids my age get into that worthless trash. And then they don't get any realistic data about what a load of crap it really is.

If you really want to drift, you should gear up a car for 3d and join the good old NASA.

I don't get it, I thought the idea of "racing" is to get to the finish line the quickest, all they're doing is sliding around trying to look cool. I think it's more like ballet than actual racing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

What a waist of a good car. That car should be run at about 150 or 160 mph and then try to outbrake someone at turn 1.

that car also does track days, they can swap it from drift to grip in less than 30 minutes.

its devastatingly fast on the track too. i remember seeing a vid of it at vir i think....unbelievable.

i will try to find video.
