ya dont have to go to america to see bad judging its every bit evident here as there some of d macs calls last weekend at prodrift were very questionable

[skinnynphats200]

Kado half spun, corrected coming to a near stop and then straightened. Deans run was far better hands down!

[Johnie]

I would have given the second guy zero for straightening the steering (he even turned in) but other than that his run was much better than the first guy more angle and aggressive transitions. The first guy had shallow angle and weak initiation. Either way if I was the judge the second guy got zero and the first guy would have scored points.

so far i agree with everyone, it's my point. how can a guy who "half spins/nearly comes to a complete stop" score higher than a guy who run's the whole track without doing the same. it's B****X and it just seems to happen all the time to the guys who are in the judges eyes "just making up the numbers" if that happened to me i'd park the car on the track, lock it and walk away. my motto is treat everyone in life as you wanted to be treated, fuck with me and well.......ill fuck with you ;-) SIMPLES

deans run was judged pretty fairly speed and angle was good but he was a bit off on some cliping points but it was a fairly good run kados run was a joke he just about saved the car from a spin nearly stoped in the process he straightened and was pretty far out on a few cliping points as well if he deserved a score at all it should have been half deans

I think most judging I've seen is not great all over the world, they accept all sorts of mistakes because the average skill level is not that great, but they shouldn't. I've seen many get away with straightening the steering and turning in, which in my opinion is the same as a spin out, end of run. I don't really like Formula D that much, basically I think their judging is crap, and so are their rules, I read some drivers get away with bending these rules too.

Yea deans run was was judged ok i think but then in kado's run he flicks the car very violently, near spins , drives straight for about 8-10 feet ,turns in and then clutch kicks which in my book is run over. ive noticed the judging since last year is dodgy to say the least!

[snakie]

I watched a couple of rounds of Formula D and thought the judging was pretty suspect to say the least, but the majority of competitions are the same, I've seen some questionable decisions made at SWRC events, Prodrift and EDC... I've only been to these so far lol!!

I'll watch the vids when I get home, didn't watch it this time.

my thoughts exactly

[si_berry]

Ye thats a load of hoop if you ask me! In the second video he clearly fucked up, had to straightin and still got a better score.

i dont drift but i spectate and it seems that some high rollers get good points to keep them coming back rather than some fella that can only afford the odd run out who can steer much better, money talks
