The drifting scene is so totally gay?...Ok theses Japs have mad skill in the art of control..but aint it a little boring and slightly homo?

 

dont knock it till youve tried it!

its fucking good fun!

most people can drive round a track fast, but how many can do it sideways at 80mph?

 

I wish i could do it Phil, have you/can you drive like them??

 

When you see these 5,6,700bhp cars drifting next to each other door to door at full chat, you will soon change your mind!

Skills they have is on a new level!

 

He's just trying to start an argument, its nothing to do with real opinions, not even worth replying.

Its same as anything anyhow, some people like it, some dont.

Some people enjoy having sex with dogs, dont mean everyone does.

 

I got the arse out 2 days ago on my 306 D Turbo and smashed an alloy and bent my rear beam...LOL

 

I get very bored watching it very quickly, BUT actually doing it must feel amazing. I bet its more rewarding than 99% of other motorsports!

 

it looks fun..

where i live..get all the skylines and supras drifiting

im bored of watching it,, but would love a go

 

porkie...spot on...its like F1

 

Sounds like fair comment

 

Just what I was going to say!

 

..what a stupid comment really.....99%... rallycross,rallying,motogp,powerboating to name but a few surely are far more rewarding?

 

I agree! I'm sure it's great fun to do.

A bit like wanking. Fun to do but not that great to watch other people.

I went to a few events with a guy that competed in an RX7 a couple of years ago. I'm sure most of the people that do it in Japan are crazy mad YO! but most of the the drivers at these places seemed to be chess club, online gaming geeks. Maybe that's changed now.

Each to their own

 

well i say each to their own. i love it,i also love f1 ad bike racing etc

some people find quarter mileing boring other dont.


i find golf shit but my dad loves it
drifting takes immense skill and concentration and the different styles and tandom stuff is good to watch.

 

Now you're just a homosexual in my eyes.

Tracey?

Smokescreen!

 

...i dont agree i watch many wankers on this forum daily and its quite fun.

 

you are being watched

 

It's great because you get mental cars built to do it .

 

im not realy into watching the drifting but watching a mk2 escort going well sideways is always nice to see

but i wouldnt say no to doing it & if good enuff making a living out of it

 

damn ive been outted! right time to get shot of trace then!

what you doing tonightthen mate ?

 

Playing golf you homo!

 

always liked the look drift cars and watching vids on youtube etc thought it looked pretty cool, but i never really ''got it'' but then we watched the demo at Trax and fucking loved it! We got talkin to blokey in the Chaser, showed us around the car, its the size of a small village but he was chucking around like mk2 escort.. defo wanna goto some events next year.. does anyone know any dates/venues and stuff?

 

about time someone said it, i can aprshate the skill behind it but its just round and round and round. as already said, fun for the drive gay for the spectator.

although i might have something to do with my absolute hate for jap car, i can't fucking stand them

 

TBH I cant watch drift DVDs for long and im a BIG drift fan, i dont think ive ever watched a whole one without falling asleep, tho i may have Narcolepsy

BUT watching it (ie competitions, not dicking about) in reality I totally love it, BUT thats because i understand (the rather complex) rules, and as 90% of folk dont, I can see why people would get bored as you wont know whats going on.

The MAIN thing I like about drifting is its about skill rather than the equipment you got, a bit like rallying is, maybe even more so.
Unlike F1 etc etc where unless you got the best stuff you got no chance, drifting is about whos the best driver and whos got the most bottle, a shit car with a mint driver can win, and the best car in the world wouldnt even get your average driver past qualifying even in a novice comp.

But there no denying its all about the taking part, everyone I ever see whos experienced as a passenger or a driver "proper" drifting (not carpark or mini roundabout billies doing a bit of power oversteer) finds it a damn sight more fun than pretty much everything else you can do in a car.
Esp when it comes down to twin drifting etc, which is a stupid adrenaline rush. Its mega enough racing or trackdays when its door to door, but just imagine that sideways at 100mph+

 

Well sooorrrrryyyy GOD


Joke

 

Without sounding like a cunt, it doesn't impress me at all, not in real life or on tv. Just like stock car racing.

But some people love it!

 

Novel way of putting it

I agree it can be entertaining (watching people drift, not watching em wank ) but I too bore of it quite soon - it's just not my thing!

But the world is made up of a diverse range of people, and one mans passion is another mans poison and all that.... So each to their own, do what makes you happy....

I do admire the sheers skill level of it tho - I know I couldn't do it, so hats off to them for being able to do it.

 

I'd say that sums it up quite nicely

 

entertaining way to be 30 seconds a lap slower

 

who is that bothered Tony,i'm not.

i like to go a bit sideways now and again and its good imo,also its good to watch a car go sideways around a track now and again too.

ok,maybe not on every corner etc..but a few.

 

Not my thing at all, doesn't interest me but hardly a 'gay' thing..................car control is awesome.

 

very boring to watch, and im sure after a short time doing it round a track i would be bored very quickly.
