Good topic, great post.
This subjects been on my mind for a while and i agree with everyone above...
I kind of like the drifting scene right now and im not sure if i would want it to get any bigger.?
Id be happy if the scene stayed underground in a way and wasnt as big as it was at the moment..
However publicity brings money with sponsors etc and with that you get insane cars like current DA ones we have seen this year.
The sport will grow and become huge over the years.. however will never be like japan. But thats good because japan is japan and OZ is OZ... different. If drift was the same in every country it would be boring. Maybe.
Within a yr or two D1GP will be held in OZ (hopefully) (somebody bloody get this happening!)
Get today tonight off the air, and get a decent reporter to do a decent report on the terrific scene... that might help.
Well done to drift australia and mainly all the drifters who have grown into awesome drivers and developed their cars into what they are today, not just in DA but just drift in general, i love the sport, think about it 24 / 7 , spend most of my time working on my car and driving it, couldnt live without it.
anyway my 2 cents..
