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 !
