Judging is always going to be questioned because you can't please everyone but those video's are evidence that the judging in FD has been deteriorating lately. I've witnessed more unbelievable calls this year than ever before over here and the qualifying scores in particular at round 4 were so inconsistent it seemed like the judges weren't even watching half the time.

For a series that is supposed to be the pinnacle of the sport it really should be looking into methods of eliminating this issue and pioneering new ways of making the judging system more consistent and fair for everyone.

I think (imo) that from watching the livestream the other night the maddening thing for me was when you thought it was driver X or maybe a OMT the judges come up with a unanimous decision for driver Y.

I mean if they are going to judge it unfairly at least try and make it look as if its half right. That scenario happened at least twice in the Top16.

Firstly, the judging in FD is pathetic, I have spent countless nights this year and last year waking up the neighbours while i'm screaming at the screen. Thats not just for the Irish Drivers either, the level and consistency is very very poor in my eyes. I expect their to be border line calls but it is often much more than that.

Now as regards the two runs above, it is an absolute load of muck to even drem that Dean could have scored less. His run was not all that shit hot to be honest but he drifted the whole track. Kado practically stopped and drove straight for about 2 seconds after, even commentator mentioned the judges might not score that run. His angle was pretty good alright but I would like to see the speed gun as it didnt look super fast to me.

Its Drifting FFS, its not throw your car into the bend, drive a bit and drift a bit. Not quite a 0 for his run but close to it for me.

well for me that's a very professional answer and hat's off to you man, cause you DID get dry fucked in Atlanta against Fosberg, as did D-Mac this weekend, why dont you boys all get up n shoot off to Jap land. BIG ENTRYS AND WALL RUBBING AND RESPECT. remember the good ould times of the AES2000 and the black ONEVIA and the little blue cam with macnamara on the side of it. those were the days if you ask me, DOOR TO DOOR action, not giving an inch and no matter who won we all still went to the pub with each other and laughed about it. i think im done with FD, I REALLY MEAN IT, either that or ill be broke from putting my fist through computer screens from complete frustration.

kado's run would ave been sweet if he haden't made what id say was a massive mistake!!! if it happened here it would ave been a zero!!!!! ive been watchin fd as much as i can al this year and 2 be honest i can't get a handle on the judging!! i mean id see a run and say fuk me he is on it and then a pure shit score then a car comes out has a bad run imo and gets a high score!!! i understand that this is the cream of the world in drivers but sometimes i feel the judges are watching someting different to me!!!

I did something very similar in Fermoy and scored a 1. That surely is a spin if not a HUGE correction and shud have been penalized
