I'm done with drifting until I have a career that can pay for it.

Because with drifting, just like anything else, it takes money to make money.
If you're poor, you're fucked.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad someones taking an interest in creating a drift series, I just wish it wasn't Nopi.



I understand what you're saying. Nopi is all about bringing stupid, tasteless, trendy, bandwagons together, and as a driver I'd rather have nothing to do with it. Not that I wouldn't love to see drifting grow, but with Nopi backing it, I have a feeling that it's going to grow in a pathetic, tasteless, fan-boy kind of direction.



The qualifiers are rare, and seldom convientiently located.

Formula D is for people like Rhys Millen, and Samuel Hubinette, who have established driving careers, and money to burn on building absolutely insane, factory backed cars. Everyone else simply fights over who gets noticed.
NOPI does have a bad rep. I agree. Dan and I have experienced it with the NDRA. Remember we used to drag race intheir series? All I can do is hope They have enlisted some great people in the industry and that's what makes me think it's going to work out. Hideo, formerly of D1 has been contracted to be the race director. He has mad experience in the drifting industry and lots of respect. Andy Williamson has been contracted as their PR. He started C16 magazine. He has many reputable clients such as GM and Mobile 1. Maybe it will be different this time. Like I have said over and over...I just want to drive.
