4 me it's Daigo or Gittin seems like they're
always in the top 5 leading up to Irwindale.

Forrest Wang. Why? Because his car is fucking amazing.

Matt Powers. Why? Because he is a super cool dude in person.

Daigo Saito. Why? Because he is awesome to watch. So smooth.

I am genuinely semi-curious.

*brndck* · 09-10-2013, 10:50 PM

Ugh. Opinion threads are the lamest thing.
Everyone knows cole trickle is the best racer of all time.

If you think Daigo is a rookie you must be on some strong drugs, definitely nothing OTC.

Now here's a name I rarely hear these days, you'll have to excuse my ignorance as I'm not up to date with FD these days but he's still competing? Dang, lol

I remember meeting him back in 2005 (I think this is the year he took the championship), he was pretty cool then and it's cool if he's still going at it these days.

Nissan_Noob · 09-11-2013, 10:00 AM

I really like Ryan Tuerck, I also like saito
Edit: I forgot dai yoshihara (spelling?)

So the Mustang had to be modified to stay competitive with RWD-converted Scion TC's?

I must have missed that in the article.

Are you also saying the Mustang is no longer competitive? The link didn't even state what the modification was, other than illegal.

And let me get this out of the way.

OH MY FUCKING GOD!
SOMEONE IN RACING CHEATED!!!
WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TOO!!!!
SAY IT'S NOT SO!!!!!

After reading some of the comments it sounds like IRS cars are aloud to modify and change their subframes... this rule only applies to SLA and is rarely enforced... wtf. It's also Falken that has been complaining even though 4 years ago their where guilty as shit for doing it... now their bumped ahead of him points wise.

Who's the best Formula-D driver?

Depends on who's better friends with the judges.

Cheesy Doriftos · 09-11-2013, 10:25 PM

whoever has the coolest looking car

drftfan · 09-11-2013, 10:45 PM

Who cares? I won't watch a sport that has turned into nascar going sideways.

singlecamslam · 09-11-2013, 11:17 PM

Ricky Bobby

Maikeru5 · 09-12-2013, 12:38 AM

I always had a soft spot for Dai. And Daigo. Because both go hard.

But personally, I don't really like FD, I always liked D1 more.

How the fuck is FD "NASCAR going sideways"?

drftfan · 09-12-2013, 08:30 AM

V8 swapped Japanese cars is how it has turned into NASCAR. While I get it... It kills the entire sport for me. Not too hard to shift into second then feather the throttle to get your tires spinning.
This is strictly my opinion. It has just made the entire American sport of drifting for lack of a better way of saying it... Rednecky...
