makes you wonder how it will be when CAMS steps up.

You may already know this, but CAMS is currently working with Drift Australia Pty Ltd to produce the rules and regulations for the next championship (2006) and these will probably apply to the sport as a whole.
But yes, it will be interesting to see what they come up with!

Dude im pretty sure thats for a new D1 league where people use there street car instead of factory built ones. Its not for the whole D1 series.

[E V A N]

Yeh just a new category. It will be good to see. Can't wait

[Black_Hachi]

Hopefully it will encourage Japanese manufacturers to produce a new wave of race ready production cars.

It also gives the lesser known drivers the chance of competeing in a D1 event.

i likee.

oklydokly, my bad

[DRFTAE86]

Those rules sound like the cars should be stock

[crazy86]

Imagine if the CAPA cars suddenly had to comply with those rules?

[inark]

I hope not... why would every comp want their rules?
wasnt that the whole point of the ADA?

DA rules and judging criteria include flair for gods sake... ie. smoke and presentation. GHEY

[funkymonkey]

That's for a secondary league for production class drifting. The rules are to make sure your car's predominantly stock, they're still in discussion with manufacturers and sponsors though, the last time I checked.

I think this set of design rules is probably something that CAMS can also work with, as drifting as it is, is a public liability and driver safety nightmare.
