The Great Debate - Is Drifting motorsport?

[gttouring]

Drifting is a sport like figure skating is.
sure it takes skill, talent, dedication and money...
but it is not a quantifiable thing.
I love it. I drift my 240 in the indusrtial parks all over Orange county California...and i am going early to see it on Saturday at the grandprix of longbeach....
butit certainly doesn't deserve its own forum, a drfit thread in road car should be good.
it sure isn't Big enough in scope to merit more.
what are we gonna talk about? set ups? smoke tyres? Tarzan Yamada, Gushi? D1, Formula D?
the rules? it is so embryonic in its development as an organized even t not enough people are interested, and even i like it but it is not the pinnacle- Speed GT, ChampCAr, IRL , Formula 1, GP2, A1GP, BTCC, WTCC, STCC, ALMS,LMES, FIA-HGT, these are real racing sports, and much is happening to discuss. Drifting....i dunno
i am not flaming, but you must understand, it is like a boxing,Judo,UFC forum talking about pro wrestling.
