DRF13

fark yeah I followed some dude in a 32 GTR into there last year trying to outbrake him, and fair shat meself hi Fatz btw

I had a great day and thought it went well specially for a 1st event Many thanks to Ben Ellis for lending me his drift car to drive

Thanks m3gtr Sometimes its easy for people to lose sight of the objective of forwarding the sport, Threads such as these are interesting and offer insight into the communities opinions Some very valid points and interesting suggestions put across here

Thanks Simon, see you there Hopefully they will have another SMS competition.

I don't come on here very often [the proof of this is my old account being deleted since last time lol] but I just wanted to say It seems people don't think Drift is popular? On the tracks we run on, it's their 2nd biggest yearly event, beaten only by the V8's. People don't think its family orientated? I can tell you it is, kids love it! They are always coming up in the pits and getting posters, wanting pics, checking out the cars. At Drift Australia events there is hardly any drunkenly and/or anti social behavior. I run a 3 car team in the Drift Australia series, and I can tell you that our sponsors are more than happy with the exposure that we give them and look forward to bigger and better things next year. The other exciting thing is Drifts growth overseas, not just Japan and the US, but in Europe as well. I see so many pics from Drift events these days where most of the cars are BMW's and other Euro cars, its awesome! More events pop up all the time. Darren McNamara is I beleive, one of the top drivers in the world, and he is from Ireland. He is now doing really well in the US Formula D series. People from all countries can compete in Drift. I'm also not sure about the comments on Drifters not wearing race suits etc, perhaps people haven't ventured out to a Drift Austalia event for a while? My team strives to be as competitive and professional as we possibly can be, and its my job to make that happen. We have TV coverage for the Drift Australia series on Channel 9, SBS, and Fox, and my team has also featured on Channel 7 and Channel 10 in 2007. I am more than happy with where the sport is going.
