Of course it's cooler to watch/do drifting than most of the other judged "sports", but it is also subject to the same biases, corruption, favoritism as those "sports". If one looks at it as pure entertainment, either as a spectator or participant, it's hard to beat.

it just gets annoying when people bring up stupid stuff that doesnt really have a valid point. its just suppost to be fun and i dont comprehend how people cant understand that.

I personally think drifting as a sport, is somewhat gay.

But I drift the hell out of my car on a regular basis. But as earlier stated in this thread, its all about setup. My suspension setup is perfect for drifting, but I've got 1200 bucks worth of Michelin pilot sports, and my rears are 295s...

I can drift even better in my '86 3 series with 205 tires and Bilstein suspension.

I'll have some cool videos up in the spring. We're compiling them all, and adding in some winter fun with BMWs as well...
