Drifting's for poofs. Its the "Synchronised Swimming" of motorsport.

No motorsport should ever be judged - it should be against the clock.

YES :twisted: , I've been a fan of rallying for ages now, in fact, it was what brought me to mitsubishi, due to their evo's influence in rallying motorsports.

Totally agree that real motorsports are judged by objective means.

yeah, ill only ever love cars against each other on a track, or vs a clock, but have to admit, having been a commentator and judge, there really is an art to GOOD drifting... its more technical than it looks... so max respect to the boys in the drift scene but the perception really is the 'high school dropout' of motorsport

uni car parks are pretty big...like at uws parra the main car park is massive and at night when there is no cars, you would be able to drift in plenty of space and not have any troubles.

Drifting is fun as hell.

I do agree with bennoz though, it aint a motor sport.......... Its more like a motor hobbie :lol:

As for rally, now that is a f**ken motor sport. I just went in the WRX experience some months back and it was f**ken unreal. I think i may have some pics somewhere.

rally is the craziest form of motorsport, takes so much balls to go through some of the tracks, especially the mountain climbs, much respect.

this video highlights how dangerous it can be, very lucky driver!
