D1GP ?_? how much do you like it?

[andylaurel]

actually, although the judging sucks, it is good to watch in person. I went to D1GP Fuji Speedway last year and it was a great event. Much better than Drift Australia.
The level of drifting was very high.

d1 is loose, jap drift in general just has a much more authentic feel about it, like everyone loves it and nothing else matters.
you look in the pits of nikko on a drift day and people are borrowing rims off each other and offering help left right and centre.

go to QR and ask for a spanner and someone tells you to get your own.
drifters in aus are too arrogant, need to learn some modesty.
no you are NOT the best drifter, your not even GOOD, but who cares? if your having fun all is well. if you wanna pose and look tough..... autosalon is pretty soon yea?
long live D1.

^^^did you just claim the laws of physics CAN be broken?
Did you uhh... study any physics?

D1 is great, but people who really appreciate it are those who aspire to be like the D1 drivers. any random spectator off the street will get bored of seeing cars going sideways again and again and again. But people who notice the differences between drivers and the different tecniques used are the true fans.

Saying "i don't like d1 because there is no danger involved" is fucking stupid. that's like going to see V8 super cars and getting pissed off coz no1 crashes and dies.

If you think high level competitive drifting is too soft and your too hardcore for it then i guess you better stick to your down hill runs and super touge doriftoruu.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ 100% corect, D1 is grate and is awesome to watch you can lurn alot by just watching how the drivers take cournerws and react to situations as with anything watching some one better will always help in one way or another. PS UEO is KING

I think whether you liek d1 or not comes down to what you can relate to - for example, I'm not into v8 supercars, mostly because I don't own or aspire to own a Commodore or Falcon, they don't race on tracks that I can drive (i.e. the street races, etc) whereas I love IPRA because there are small 4 cylinder cars competing, they drive on tracks that I could realistically have a go at one day (Phillip Island, Mallala, etc) and a lot of the drivers are in it for the love of the sport and spend there pay cheques to compete.

Much like d1 vs MSC really when you think about it....

drifting sucks now since theres lesser ae86s presence ueo no longer competes in ae86

they should introduce something like a winter game for drifting like this one below

IKKE!!! CHIBI KURUMA!!!!! GOGOGO!!! or something like that...

D1GP= only real drifting.. licked the balls off any Australian event!

i look at the D1GP in similar light to the NFL. College football is far more interesting to watch coz the guys go balls out trying to get into the NFL.
NFL is where the big bucks are but is boring most of the time with the odd great game. But without the NFL the college guys wouldn't b playing all out. So similar thing with the D1GP and all the minor stuff.

Also to u guys comparing speed and drift. Im pretty sure what was meant is the speed these guys go entering the corner can be higher than guys gripping the corner. N yes more angle is the slower way around the corner. But hey i wouldn't watch drift for less angle more speed. As speed isn't the thing that makes drift interesting. Thats y i like watching the guys on the tighter tracks.
