Drifting
Is there a drifting forum on 10-tenths? If so where is it? If not, why not?

We would be happy to have a Drifting forum if enough people were interested in discussing it.
So far, I think you're the only person who's brought it up! If you can find enough like minded people, we can certainly look at setting up a forum for it. |

We had a request for this before and at the time there didn't seem much in the way of interest at the time. I gathered that a lot of the drifting community had their own forums as they saw themselves as "underground" and detached from the mainstream of motorsport.
If there were enough requests then we'd be more than happy to give it a try. |

I see your point MagnetOn, there are a lot of drifting forums about, but drifting is becoming more and more mainstream. I see your point, and I am happy to discuss it here.

Drifters Welcome
I think we need a thread to talk about Drifting, just in case there are people interested, cause I know some people are.

I love drifting, it has bumped up the value of my Corolla (AE86) about ten fold.
Must stick it on eBay for £15K some time and see if some idiot is stupid enough to buy it! With 218BHP and terminal throttle induced oversteer when you fit a rear anti roll bar it would clean up. Shame it is then 1.5 seconds a lap SLOWER round Thruxton. Give them their own forum, it really isn't 'racing' but is still a valid motorsport requiring significant skill, both driving and car preparation. I also expect it will become massive in quite a short space of time. |

Perhaps if we got extra points in a race for "artistic impression" or "just doing a full on Gerry", then we'd be interested in it.
As Al has said, it's a tyre company led thing that has grown out of all proportion. Innit. What is sad, is that most of the kids who follow it drive FWD cars..... aren't they missing something? Ahh neon's under the car... I've just fitted two 75w strip lights, but where can I get a long extension lead for use around Brands GP? I'll have to take the fuel tank out to fit the bass box... darnit. Go on then, their own forum under "Other Motorsports" - where Hillclimbing should be in my opinion. |

Well, we'll have to see! As per my announcement, the forum's survival depends on getting posts! So you'd better bring some friends over BD!

I help promote and run Drift events, and I have tried to get some people to come here and post before we had our own forum, people read all the negativity towards Drifting so they just didn't bother in the end. Of course I will do my best to get a crew together.
