Street legal drift comp

[lady89]

I didn't mean drifting on the road, I ment street legal cars doing events

think thats a really good idea actually! (but there should be still some PD rules included-safety)

Yea the same safety rules as driftjam, minimum half cage, extinguisher, seat, harness

I think the funnest thing or the best new direction for fun/proper competitive drifting would be a one make series with limited mods/power, thatd be awesometron to watch/compete in

but it will never happen. bleugh

MAybe what joe is saying is to have a series of comps like the one that was run in portlaoise. Like have few different comps in the year for drivers to get points for each have leader board etc. Like goldstone, ballbriggan, m1, old mill if gets goin soon, sounds like a good laugh

[Paddy drifter]

it sounds like a good idea

Be very boring to watch though. I mean 20 s bodies? Unless you knew who was driving, or if they were all incredibly mental (which then the safety thing comes back into play) there would be little if no spectators. No spectators = very little money for the organisers really, so the venues/tracks wouldnt be great. Impossible to manage the power/mod thing aswell, as too many ways around it, unless you inspect every car in a parc ferme situation, which ramps up the money alot too.

So imo its just not feasible really, and more importantly strange and mad cars are also what makes drifiting interesting over some other motorsports. Limit ppls imaginations and I think the sport would be ruined tbh....

I like the Idea, I always preferred to watch normal cars drifting than some yoke that's bearly even the same car any more. If profit wasn't the main concern I'm sure it could be done cheaply but tbh I can't see it happening in this country. I for one would love to be able to go drifting with out all the safety gear, the way I see it it's my own fault if I crash in a ball of flames upside down, and nobody elses responsibility, it should be up to the individual what safety gear they have. but that attitude only seems acceptable in Asia and not here were others decide what they think is best for you.

You win at Retard!


Seriously like that comment has scaled new heights of retardation!


What if someone else spun out and lost control and clipped you and put you into a barrier in front of a crowd. That crowd could possibly have your family, children and 100's of others in it. You could possibly crash so hard that the car resembles nothing more than a crushed coke can.

Is it right that they had to watch you die in a horrible fashion? When it actually wasn't your fault you crashed in the first place?

Then theres the shitstorm of legal proceedings that the organiser would have brought against them. Even if as you say it was your choice to run no safety gear.

Sure why dont't we start a series and run cages made from old pallets or something Ye know to keep costs down.



And RE: the thread topic...... Sure the majority of cars competing in PD are still street legal or have the potential to be...... ie. regs and tax
