Comments on: The Death Of D1 – The Rise And Fall http://www.hashiriyaexports.com/blog/2009/03/the-death-of-d1-the-rise-and-fall/ Drifting Japan, HashiriyaExports.com, Cars, Japan, Touge, Car Culture Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:02:49 +1100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Emil http://www.hashiriyaexports.com/blog/2009/03/the-death-of-d1-the-rise-and-fall/comment-page-1/#comment-1851 Emil Sat, 15 Aug 2009 11:06:19 +0000 http://hashiriyaexports.com/blog/?p=190#comment-1851 I am somehow grateful that drifting is not as big sport in Norway as it is in other countries that have D1 championships. Up here we only have Powerdrift, which is quite similar to D1 as it only contains drifting, but it's nothing in size compared to D1GP. To sign up for an event there is just a track fee, which is about 350 NOK ("5500 JPY" & "57 USD"). It is a big shame that they do this to the sport, a sport that in my opinion has got to be the best motorsport ever. Anyways, this was a very interesting read to be fair, really great information, lots of things here I did not know about. Come to Norway and drift with us! :D We would love it if foreigners could show up with their cars and give us a proper show! Keep the sport alive people ;) I am somehow grateful that drifting is not as big sport in Norway as it is in other countries that have D1 championships.

This has been my exact thought for the past 3 year near! I think if i'd to describe it in one word it wouldwith out doubt be "commercialised".I dont believe its only D1GP either! I do find myself enjoying every PD event but with that said the judgeing is clearly bi-est to certain drivers who happen to be spomsored by big investor tyr companys ???? HANKOOK to name 1 ! I am a drifting enthusiast with an 86 for enjoymeant drifting and do not compete so i have a spectating point of view! Yes MSC is the only real competeing events i follow what with the "from the streets drivers" with BADical cars running slly offsets/camber/ride heights etc to make there cars as kick-ass as they are! "Team Mouse,MotorFIX,Magician,326power" to name a randon selected few? very different styled individually but all are so right and an idea of how things appeal to a die-hard drifting enthusiast such as myself! grass-roots FTMFW …1st off pat yourself on the back for this write-up!

Next someone in America will start calling out Formula Drift for their biased judging and their decisions on issuing pro licenses based on "friendship" or "potential sponsorship". Its time that drifting becomes a true sport again and not a money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ driven clown fest. It will never be considered a true motorsport until the flaws and the people causing them are driven out of the system. Finally someone is bringing this out in the open.
