Nissan skyline r34 gtr driting at formula d in seattle
 

Amazing drifting from the singal auto r34 gtr.
:D :o :shock:

exactly how is that crap a sport?

there is no race, there is no challange - it is simply 2 cars swerving down the road.

:roll:

Stupid sport, if you do it for fun ok bit it isn't motorsport :roll:

I wouldnt neccessarily say there is no challenge in drifting a whole course like that..
Show me a video of you doing a "simple" drift like that..

But yea, I wouldn't exactly call it a sport.. its like figure ice skating based on judges grading the performance.

yeah it does take skill to keep a drift up like that but sport mmmmmmmmmm not to sure. but great entertainment if you ask me.

DMF got it right its a style and judge based grading system.

It's a extreme sport not your normal motorsport just because it's not about the faster driver on track will not say thats it's not a sport.
You need a very high skill level to do this.
I like drifting but only the profesional series.
A litte street drifting it also cool.
Everyone kown that drifting will become very big just get used to it.
:D :o

It's a sport............and......the master minds behind are the tire manufactures LOL

At least you say it's a sport
You forgot the afmarket company's and company's like ford crysler/dodge gm.



If it's such a crap then why is mopar sponsering a driver and he drifts whit dodge viper competion coupe.
Why is rhys millen is drifting a pontiac gto.
Not i sign of a crap sport i schould say.
:D :o

Haha! From the person that tried to do it once and span?!?

Remember than the famous racing driver/ tv presenter tiff needell tried it and he found it very hard to do.
Drifting takes allot of driving skill to do it right very hard for a normal racing drive to do i think a rally driver would much better because of the more sideways driving style you see in rallying.
:D :o

I think RC and myself are on the same line here..

It does take a certain skill to do it, I will admit that.

We are just saying that it isn't a sport, it may be recognized as a sport but hey Curling is a Olympic sport and I compare it with that, boring and no challenge!

I like drifing myself, but I would only use it to entertain myself and have fun. The only form of sport where drifting pays of is in Rallysport, now there's a challenge! Not on a track..

That is simply a sign that enough fucking idiots pay to watch these people spinning their tyres.

That is not a sign ity is a"great sport' - just a sign that the corporations have found a way to cash in on you fools that pay to wathc this crap.

Thats all.

Rhys Millen participating simply proves anyone can do it.


There is no challange - period.

It is crap.

Pewriod.

Anyone with half a brain and 2 arms and legs and a steering wherel in a acar and enough free tyres and practice time can do that.

Period.

It is just finding some sponsor stupid enough to throw the money at you while they get a promotor to sell the "excitemtn" so enough retarded twats buy tickets to fillt he stadium to wathc this drivel so they can make enough money to sjustify paying you for sliding aorund corners.

It is not hard - it is easy. Not only have the drivers practiced to do this, but their cars are specifically setup and modified to support and encourage and allow crazy slip angles.

Drifting is a piss easy and stupid.

Period.

No, I have no videos of me tearing up my car "proving" I can drift... pay for the learing curve and within a month I guarantee you I will be able to hang with "Drift Kings" on any road in any car.

Period.

This is a stupid "sport' and is an insult to any motorsports fans that appreciate "real driving"

:roll:

:) :P

Uhm - no.. on the contrary, my car actually "drifts" pretty well without "spanning" - but I don't feel like practicing on the public roads and earing up my own car to prove how simple this stupid "sport" is.

Pay me to do it and I will - any half competant driver understands the dynamics of the slide and or drift, and with enough practice in particular chassis will be able to master the technique quite easily.

:)

Its a stupid "sport".

:)

It's not a motorsport it's a extreme sport.
Still a sport to me regardless of what people say
Just because this not a timed sport does no mean that is not a real sport.
Rys millen is a good driver not everybody can drift.
It's a sport not a 'sport'.
Atleast this is the most fun way round a racetrack.
:D :o

What exactly is "extreme" about it?

It's extreme because the cars have special low grip tyres?

It's extreme because the cars are specially setup to slide?

It's extreme because it makses smoke and noise?

OK - so it's a sport - please publish a link to the "Rules" so we can all have a look - afgterall, if it is sport, it must have concrete and specifric and enforcable rules :P

Oh - yeah - like Cheerleading and Interpretive Dance and Water Aerobics are aporta too :P

He is no better than any other driver with trainging/practice and exposure.

You get me a month paid training and I will beat Rice Millen - Guaranteed.

It's a "sport" not a sport :P

Hhmm.. so the fastest way is less exciting?

Wow - this is the final nail in the coffin of your own argument.

Because if the "Drift" events were actualy timed runs then you might have some excitment - might.

Driving up to a corner slowly and hanging the tail out is EASY and anyone CAN do it. ;)

It's lapping at record pace and doing it that will take real skill - but then again, all the real drivers in the world know that the fastest way around a race track not sideways ;)

Their was times whan the fastest way round the racetrack was sideways
Here are the rules.
http://driftlive.com/fd_docs/06_fd_r...sion_6_181.pdf
And the normal way is the fastest bud sideways is more fun but sideways is not the normal way round a track
Most racing drivers learn to cancel out any huge oversteer because that makes faster laptimes but thats not the most run way round a track.
Their run not that slow when drifting ever seen high speed drifting.
