D1GP ?_? how much do you like it?

[tricky_dan]

i much prefer watching grassroots drifting, like in the mountains at nights and on small circuits like at ebisu. d1gp is a lot about entertainment and money and all out stripped cars and stickers.. so watching daily driven (but still hot) cars that get sideways rather than completey stripped out/done up cars which are not much more than a hugely powerful engine in a steel chassis covered with some panels and 1 seat inside is awesome!

huh??? those two things contradict each other...
the problem with people who study physics is that they then think the rule itself can't be broken
top fuelers shouldn't be phyisically able to accelerate at the rate they do
skateboards shouldn't be physically able to ollie like they do
your tofu shouldn't be physically able to stay in one piece on your downhill runs, but, miraculousy it does.
i've noticed the stickier tyres you have on the rear, the more speed and angle you can hold on a certain line while drifting, but thats just me, no theory involved in that...
D1 is good to watch, you've got to remember its a professional level of motorsport that its at, yes it looks a bit wanky, but if it didn't have the sponsors and stuff it doesn't, it wouldn't be as popular, which would affect everything further down the chain

And that i would have to agree with. No theory bollocks, but sideways, on the track. lol sif bring physics into this....

also, weight distribution changes according to driver inputs and attitude of the car (as in how you come into the corner, where you are in the corner, not attitude as in your car is feelin pretty peachy today), you'll notice if you get on the brakes mid slide, your weight is shifted to front wheels, and if you gas it the weight is shifted back. from what i've experienced anyway.
i.e. come in too hot with an entry, squeezed the brakes a little and the rear end suddenly has half the stick it did before. it's moments like those you thank ps arms...

lol

D1GP is top lvl of drifting you'll ever see...any other drifting is just as good...street drifting is amazing, but only in jap xD

d1 is awesome. the cars are sic. this thread is crap.

is my theory (well...is practical cos i've done it) incorrect dimitri??

I like to throw some option vids on every now and then, because using power tools into the late evening, every night getting my own car ready...really annoys the neighbours.
After going for a good drive in a couple of ae86's on the weekend, I found that grip and drift are both as fun as eachother and reflect exactly why you buy an ae86.
If you have one thats registered with a 4age, 2-way and nice handling, I salute you.

incredibly astounding videos/scenes like this lower my love for d1gp and heighten it for grassroots style

MSC events are alot different to D1/D1SL style events.

MSC does not do 'battle' events to sort a winner, only solo competitions & team events.

and MSC is a plucking point for D1SL drivers, who go into D1SL, and then to D1GP if they prove themselves.

and D1 is awesome, just an evolution of it, i dig how the cars are turning into almost Super GT cars
