Yea I don't get that??? Every pro level racer especially factor guys have huge images to fill and set. And not to mention the added plus of making you and better driver..
I don't get it. I saw a top 5 FD factory driver at a local event and boy was I a little shocked... Thought those guys would be more dialed into a program and trying to find any edge up on competitors.. Thanks guys for ur info. Just wanted to see if I was missing something |

It's not like other motorsports where they are racing hours at a time. Two 30 second runs (if no "one more times") per match up isn't that physically demanding.
Plus with the tire rules being fat doesn't matter. |

"All cars must be weighed in a ready to drive state. Formula Drift will include this weighing at a mandatory pre-event inspection before the first event. Cars will be weighed WITH driver, complete with all required bodywork and safety equipment installed. Drivers must be fully suited with helmets during the weigh-in process. Cars may only be weighed and registered upon passing their annual safety and technical inspection." |

Being in shape may not be in the rule book, but a good health and body will give you an edge on other, less shapely, drivers. Eating well, and exercise, will keep your mind sharp during situations of high adrenaline, end result being more competitive when you need the most.
You don't see any out of shape drivers in any professional drifting league anywhere in the world. |

Personally, I don't think it matters in drifting. It's not so much based on time, as it is about slip angle, speed, how close you are to clipping points/zones, and overall crowd reaction (how well you put on a show). I would think that being heavy set might give you an advantage.

There's more to being healthly than just being in "shape". Eating badly takes a big bite out of every aspect of life, including the way/how you think. Eat strictly organic fruits and veggies for a week straight along with only water. Then you can say it doesn't take anything out of your mindset.

This! ^^^ And I gotta say that although the weight of the car is with driver in place, a skinny driver could have ballast in an optimal location vs the fat slob driver putting a shit ton of weight over that one location in the chassis.

Wait wait wait... so what you're saying is kids shouldn't be stripping their interior and causing their car to look like shit? They should just diet and lose 20lbs then have a normal looking car!?

When drifting you're actually driving for like what, 30 seconds at a time. Yeah, the fattest fat ass could handle that. Try competing in a REAL motorsport, you know one where you drive for at least 30 minutes at a time. With as much as you dorifto assfucks bash on Nascar I don't think a single one of you could actually survive a full Nascar race physically. Much less mentally or actually be competitive in any way shape or form.
Losing weight and getting in shape is always good if you're a fat-ass or not in shape. Is it going to make you a better drifter? Probably not... |

I think you guys are referring FD to Nascar. The drifting, even though its "professional" is still mostly about having fun. You dont need to be a fitness junkie and strict on a diet in order to have fun.
