Idea for new/better drift series

Why is there not a drift series that is run just like rally?
That is, on 'touge' roads that are real roads closed off for the event, with spectators standing along the course.
There would be stages in scenic settings, and various car classes (drift racers, pretty cars, just-for-fun class, etc.).
I think I would watch that. Maybe.

Who do I pitch this idea to? I have it all thought out.

Cars would have to drift as much of the course and as entertainingly as possible.
Tandem and time could be implemented of course.
Once the course is obtained for the weekend (or week), the types of events that could be run on it are numerous. There does not have to be only one.

Yes, except with drifting on paved roads. And cars could also go downhill.
I bet the energy-drink-drinking New-Era-hat crowd would eat it up.

I would be totally down for this. Initial D for real.

But we all know if it DID happen America would turn it into some gay shit within a matter of a year.

First of all, fucking government would step it with how ridiculously dangerous and awesome it would be.

Second, i doubt any state would allow a mountain course to be closed and drifted on without huge checks being dished out.

The US doesnt any other motorsport interest aside from nascar compared to the world. Maybe in Europe or Japan where they have balls and are crazy

I hate to say it and risking getting flammed but what Formula D needs is a more structured "point" scoring system. I know drifting is about style and having that would ruin the sport but FD technically already took drifting away from grassroots so might as well make it more structured... I feel many good drivers are getting cheated out of wins for people that bring in more money from having a name, (Gitten, Powers, the oldschool dudes) While people like Wilkerson will keep loosing because they do gangster entries and but they fall way behind. They need to add rules that make it so anyone can judge and make it not as biased. Make rules where it gives points for doing something according to rules and not based on opinion... IDK if you get what im trying to say but its just my opinion.

But they definitely need more venues in more places... Midwest is getting left out, So is texas and other places. Go back to Norcal and keep the 2 in So Cal. Make it more a "real" motorsport and not something thats opinionated.

to be quite honest, I have a better time watching amateurs drifting than I do at a sanctioned event full of fluff and advertising.

period.

I think an uphill would be ideal. less chance of death lulz

I think we have all thought about how badass this would be but how it would be pretty much impossible to pull off unless a MAJOR sponsor stepped up with tons of money and made it happen.

you can't get shit done in the country unless your filthy rich, if you are then you can pretty much do whatever you want but us peasents are screwed.

We need touge and scoring like Time vs Kudos in project gotham racing, the drivers would start the course with 0 seconds on the clock and be timed throughout the run, and whenever the car is sideways the clock pauses until the car is going straight again. Driver with the lowest time wins.

+1. For those who aren't familiar with Group B...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtR5OOHZSp4

You really only need to watch till about :23 to get the idea, but if you've got 11 spare minutes, WATCH.


But Group B was wiped out for the same reason that this new idea may never come to life- the danger was off the charts. Group B was cancelled partially due to numerous (seriously, a shitload, this idiots were insane) spectator injuries/deaths. If that could be eliminated...

^Watching a 600HP cars sliding is way more exciting than a 200HP car that barely passes inspection sliding.

I think an idea that can be capitolized is Ken Block style gymkhana events. Everyone has seen the videos, everyone thinks is sick. A combination of racing and drifting on a spectator friendly obstical course like Rally cross would get big.
