Cool vid but I just dont get drifting as a sport.

I played a drinking game called "The Gauntlet" the other night, I wouldn't recommend it.

I know what you mean, it's all very subjective as to who's "best" at it so I personally just view it as something that's entertaining to do or interesting to watch. I'll imagine there are massive rows on countless forums over who is the "best" drifter currently competing.

Yeah I agree. I appreciate the skill and engineering involved but just don't see it as a serious type of Motorsport.

There's also something more appealing about the grass roots enthusiast type events than the heavily sponsored American corporate driven ones.

Yeah I prefer the BDC, it's still REALLY Corporate but nowhere near as bad as the yank!

That's just because they're all broke the BDC would be no different to Formula D if it could get the same level of financial backing. I'm talking about the RWYB type drift days where it's just people going out to have a laugh.
