lol another thing which i was curious about was how wesley keating was allowed run in the super series sunday,could anyone have entered?And another thing that young fella in the 180sx was top class but is the entry age not 15?he was 13.Its gas the way prodrift bend their rules to suit themselves.

McKeever was allowed to compete id say as he was a top 8 finisher in the first round of the EDC in the UK and also a regular top 8 finisher in division 1 in the UDC in the north, and because of that he would be allowed compete dispite his age.

Wes is competing in the entire super series championship, he competed in the first round in the UK. I know they can suit themselves but not in these cases.

I thought the judging was a bit harsh to be honest with most non seeded guys scoring low.

Thats ALWAYS the way it is in pro-drift lads ALWAYS, half your points are decided on your name

ya good example he should have defo gone through.but to be honest and everyone says it,its favouritism with prodrift always was always will be.

Come on lads FFS, ye sound like a bunch of contrary little bitches ! (I mean that in a loving sort of way )

If PD was based on who you were, then why didn't Eric or Shane Lynch qualify for Top 16 ? The judges laid down EXACTLY what they wanted the drivers to do, some could but most couldn't. Not many people were getting the clipping zone under the judges tower, which was used as two clips, both in and out. Some seemed to be struggling with the two in the teardrop as well. It doesn't matter if you go out with loads of speed / smoke and angle, if your not on your clipping points your at nothing.

As regards to Non-Seed scoring low, they're judged exactly the same as if they were in seeded if you get me ? So a 95 point run in amateur, non-seeded and seeded is the exact same run. There is no individual class scoring.

Judges make decisions on what they see and we're not always going to agree with them. That's the beauty of the beast, it would be such a boring sport if everything was determined by driftboxes as we would have nothing to talk and argue about afterwards !

The Super Series was the best event I've covered since D1 in 2006. The Superlap is the best addition to drifting since Tsuiso. The driving was spectacular, Ffrench was on a different level to everyone else, even driving a stock engined S14. It just re-enforces the fact that drifting isn't about the horsepower, it's all about the driver !
