this is true.
if you ever drive with a guy from japan....they have "finess". they aren't concerned about anything but their line.
for example....watch any of the really good top drivers in d1....they don't brake check the following car...trying to make them fail. it's who can follow better. And they respect if someone is just better.
america is all about being number 1. cut throat. make money....no love for just the sport. that's why teddy is so hate on the v8...cause it's about being number 1. Not for the love of driving, because you can't enjoy a tandem with an opponent, if you guys are running two different power plants. two different boost settings, because driving against another car should be fun, and difficult....not easy, not advantageous.
Buy a v8 cause it's reliable, and you want to slide...don't buy it cause you want to be number 1.
This sport...was designed for style...that's why they slide, keep it close, watch the line.....
not what formula d is doing to the sport...making it about money...about the sponsors.....I know they have to get to where they want, but they are also ruining the original culture of sliding a car....go out and have fun.
