I got the opportunity to photograph at the first round of 'Eurodrift' at Silverstone the other week (pics on my website). I'd never seen drifting before and really didn't know what to expect.
I was pleasantly surprised on the day... it was quite entertaining. This wasn't really much more than an amateur event, but the potential for providing a decent spectacle was clear. I can imagine that something like D1 would be really quite impressive to watch. I'm certain that this will pick up a strong spectator following over the next few years. If nothing else, it's an entertaining break from the usual weekend's race meetings! |

I saw a bit of Channel 5's 5th Gear last night and they had some article on drifting which included a presenter taking part in "The National Doughnut Championships". I didn't watch for long! It seemed to me the biggest doughnuts were those behind the steering wheels!
What concerns me most about this is the damage it does to motorsport's image. After many years trying to placate the Nimbies and environmentalists by restricting test days, engine running times and noise reduction, we have bunch of guys thrashing the crap out of road cars, burning shed loads of rubber and creating smoke clouds of volcanic proportions... There you go. I've wanted to get that off my chest for a while. |
