Formula D "The Gauntlet" 2011, Spectators perspective.

I was going to say he must've been decent if he made it there. I didn't realize you could just "buy" an formula d license and go compete?! I thought you had to actually work your way up.


Kielan, AWESOME shots.

Thank you very much kind sir. Hopefully I can get some equally (hopefully better) ones of you and a few others at Drift Faction this Friday.

So East Coast Bash is this weekend right? Are you guys going?

Maybe, maybe not, I didn't get a press pass, and I have work 6:30 - 10 on Saturday, and I don't really know if I want to drive down there 2 weekends in a row.

Yeah you have to work your way up. I've Never heard of someone "buying the license."

-__- I think you missed the sarcasm.

Lol Benz we're joking, Dave and I had the discussion that a super charged LS1 for a rookie to FD might just be a little bit too much for him to handle. Although he really didn't seem like he was ready to compete, just listening to his throttle control, it just seemed like he was matting it into the corners and hoping for the best. Obviously he is a good drifter otherwise he wouldn't have been there, but in the field of competition he was awful, and looked like this was the second time he had tried this.


Thanks Cal.

so what youre saying is, that he shouldnt jump in the ring with Ali cause he thinks he can box?

Awesome shots Kielan.

Keep it up.

[Han]

Great shots, sir.

i couldn't, that's why i don't compete at formula d. when i have cars that aren't broken to drift i do it at the local events that are set out there to learn (i actually have done an event before not talking hypothetical), it's a new car and he's a new driver to the sport, he bought his formula d license from what i read and he needs to go to events to practice his skill before he goes out and tries to compete as a pro.

Could be the car, Could be bad luck. Alot of things can lead to shitty drifting. Give the guy a fucking break. Lets see you guys go and do better.

according to everyone so far in this thread this is apparently what they think.

in all seriousness though. i think that car had too much power. if it was tuned down, it would probably be easier to control. also, this is his first season drifting. they mentioned that at the track when he ran. and if i tried to drift like that. I would do much worse.

yup not a single person in this thread has said that. the guy is not at formula d level of competition, hes a good driver, but that doesn't equal being able to drift, he needs more practice outside of formula d.

[benz88]

of course, thats why there are events that aren't pro level comps for you to learn at.

You guys do know that drifting takes practice right? Not everyones a champ right when they start off.
