Banger drifting

[Administrator]

Just been looking over on DW about this new sort of drifting which is cropping up in the UK.. Whats your thoughts on it? Few pics to get the idea of what it's about. Do you think it could be the next thing over here?




Looks like fun but surely isn't doing the sport many favours with the general public.

[twailbait]

Not going to help the sport at all!

Looks fun though, its my kinda racing!

[Stevo]

No it wont do the sport any favours at all, just look how hard Wayne and the lads up at SWRC try to present drifting i.e no cars allowed without bumpers ect due to the banger racing image of nutts oval which is right beside the AMA practice area.....

BUT it looks like savage craic, id love a go at it

Definately not doing any of us any favours, but there's not much ya can do about it.

Drifting can be as expensive or as cheap as you want to make it, but with there being so many high powered cars on the scene and so much available to make a standard car "up to spec", folk feel the need to spend such vast amounts of money on their cars to compete or even just to look good on the track, which isn't needed and could be done without in my opinion.

At the end of the day, its no different to the Tramp Drifting, so not alot can be said..

Still, ya wont see it being run by the SWRC, thats for sure.. lol

Had a feeling you'd be quick to post on this Nicky!

There's definite pros and very definite cons to it, would be interested to hear what everyone thinks on it

I dont know if thats a good thing or not..?

Im just 1 to air my opinions lad, be it what folk want to hear or not.. I dont believe in sugar coating the pill, cos at the end of the day its just as hard to swallow.

Each to their own though. My 200 would fit right in with them boys in its current state, but give me another couple months

its shit.. just keep bangers together. they just are mental cases
drifters think alot more of there cars and do the total opposite to those guys

[Tekno Twinky]

Nah id rather keepin a shiter lookin cool and tyte! This craic here would have effects that of a carnival if you get my drift...Can we say "boss" ?

[Romo]

is it just the same as driftin dar in that theres two cars out at a time or is it like banger racing where theres about 15 and sliding is just encouraged? basically so you win by being the first across the line or by how good you slide?

im not one to knock a sport or hobby unless its cricket
but Banger drifting wouldnt harm the drifting scene that much cause anyone that knows anything about drifting would know it dosnt intale driving a smashed up wreak, although many members on trampdrift.co.uk respect there cars as we do
