Ya energy drinks seem to be a bit of a problem alright.

I often drink one if im out an an event all day and to be honest they just make me feel a bit ill.

@prodrifter do you think fitness plays a big part in it? I know it does in other motorsports but some people seemed to suggest it might not be in Drifting

yes i also sometimes fell like shit after drinking monster etc! only sometimes


In my own Unprofessional Opinion i do! Ino for a fact in the likes of rallying it does work

for drifting i think it does! for EG. the heat inside a drift car.. its not just driving a car. its nearly a full workout! your arms and feet and going all the time.. and most Importantly your Brain!!! your doing so many things at high speed!!..... drinking water etc. keeps your concentration! but even though for EG competing in PD it may be only 2 runs! but what happens if your not fit! and you have to do a "Run it again" maybe twice more?? your wearing fire resitant clothes in a hot car...with a helmet on of course it has to affect you... your body will try to keep you cool!!

personally Myself. ino if im messing about in car! or even a Kart or whatever even on horses.. if i drink water before hand. or during it. i feel great and my head isnt at me so to speak! i can keep concentrated alot easier

all of this is in my own Opinion

Just study me ha ha! Alls I can say is you drive better when you're hungover cos you're too sick to care about your car or anything else for that matter except driving. Simples
