Im not sure how it will turn out, i hope for the best though, the demo footage looked cool. so im crossing my fingers that they dont use the "shade-tree mechanics" as commentators haha

to be honest i agree with you to a certain extent. but i think drifting goes back in further than that and in the states. i think it goes back to the 1950s with the Belanger Special No. 99. i remember seeing a clip on speed vision with a guy entering a right hand turn sideways. had it at full steering lock, his body leaning on the left side of the open wheeled car, looking straight forward. it was probably one of the more badass drifts ive ever seen.

So is it just D1, or is it going to be other events and tech talk and projects and stuff?

That's awesome news, maybe the huge slew of F&F idiots will start hanging out at the drift spots instead of cluttering up the gandy bridge.

While I am very awhere that drifting has been going on since the invention of the wheel (think about it => Roman Chariot races) I was just very surprised to here the anouncer on the preview say that it is a sport that has risen from japan in the last 5 years.
