And thats just it.....


ALL those driving events require some skill in one shape or form.....


Like I said, if you can appriciate WRC or F1 than certainly you can (ok, maby not love but rather) respect the "drift sceen" or any other form of "motor sport" for that matter....

I dont understand why your talking **** (that comes with someone who has the same intrests as you in motor sport racing)????????????????????????

As for the ""spectator factor""" isent that why we watch racing in general??? Not just F1, but EVERY kind of motor sport racing events???

For those of you that don't drift need to shut it because it's just another hobby sports car enthusiasts have that many of you will never understand.

what are you talking about the large majority of the D1 cars look awesome your one of the guys that has to have a car with nothing on it i guess.............................sure they are a few cars tha look crazy but the majority look awesome................


besides these body kits are 100% functional so everything serves a purpose

same with the wings they are just for show the help to keep the cars planted to prevent spin outs............even if the purpose of drifting is to break the bakc end loose your gonna have to control it so quit raggin think every thing is ricey

For me baseball is boring as hell on TV (unless it is the playoffs), but fun to watch live Atleast give it a fair shake before making your final judgement and passing it off as a waste of tires

Example: Don't be like a childhood friend of mine that says that Sushi is nasty when he has never eaten it.
