    Formula D originally made itself accessible to the drivers, now it's only accessible to sponsors buying their drivers' ways in. yes it's a more premiere series, but there's almost no room for people trying to come up in the world and show that they can compete.

    and your original post sure seemed to be talking shit to me. talk all you want about the series and how much you hate nopi as a company, but don't try to discredit drivers who want to participate.
    I did indeed state that Formula D is a company that also is cashing in on the drift craze, but they don't advertise their product with bikini contests, guest appearances from Ludacris, or portray members of the scene as idiots with their hats cocked sideways.

    I'm not insulting those wishing to participate. I'm implying that Nopi's execution of this at a motorsports level will not be even close to that of D1 or FD. As an enthusiast, Nopi does not appeal to me. I know that alot of people feel that way. I'd rather be sitting alone in a parking lot watching DGTrials instead of being among the types of people Nopi attracts.

    But this is exactly what you said:

    "So basically, these are gonna be the guys who aren't good enough to qualify for Formula D."

    That's insulting the drivers

    The rest of your points are your opinion based on your experience with NOPI and you are entitled to them. I don't think anyone is bagging on that.
    Val for president!
