Good stuff. I would love to build up my FC to drift standards but ijust don't have that sort of money to throw around. Bought a house 6mths ago, married 3wks ago and planning a family so my priorities are elsewhere. I just love having a nice car that is a bit different and goes, stops,turns etc, hard.
As I said a combination of the two is great displaying control, skill, setup, and power.
@blyndrotor its a matter of what tracks are available, most tracks you find in the US are circle tracks, sure we have some really cool road courses also, but a huge percentage of the grassroots tracks are circle or figure 8 courses, left over from the popularity of those styles of racing that were HUGE in the 70s to 80s, i'm a member of drift indy, we agree with you completely and try to book road courses as much as possible.
americans like to use big courses cuz it brings lots of fans. there not intrested in skill as much as there intrested in money. we like to use huge venues.
Why is it that when I see footage of drifting in the US it always seems to be big open courses with long sweeping corners and a lack of tight technical stuff.
Not saying it doesn't happen butI just don't see it much. In Australia and Japan there's alot more tight technical stuff with lots of direction changes and variety of corners than the long open sweeping stuff.

Fair enough, but what the hell has nascar got to do with drifting.
Bugger all to my knowledge, but I'm in Australia so I can't say one way or the other.
All I'm saying is, well I've already said it in my original comment.
Be much better if there was more combining if the two.
