Same. Overall drifting bores the tits out of me these days, I barely got thru the top 16 at BDC on Sunday as it was so nothingy, and most the cool cars didn't even qualify lol. Watched 2 battles of the top 8 and turned it off.
But watched this vid from start to end 3 times now as it's cool as fuck.
This is how it should be. But the UK is nothing like this.

Awesome video; good to see cars that are obviously cared about, yet driven totally balls-out.

Finally people are starting to see beyond the whole "BMW Missle y0" scene! Nothing better than seeing properly built cars that are people's pride and joys getting driven hard on track in the manner of having fun with friends
Not really. As it's not the UK.
The UK is still mostly dogcrap looking comp cars covered in random sponsor stickers, and banger looking practice cars.
That vid is an event, a team drift event, like the Jap MSC ones. But the cars are all awesome looking, which makes it 19583 times better than a load of wank looking stuff like we used to.

Hmmm, what I wrote was showing how peoples perceptions are changing. Yes, Final Bout was held in America, but there are slowly more cool and more legit cars being built in the UK. Yes, they are few and far between but that it was the Finalboss Matsuri is all about. Similar to Finalbout, its invite-inly to avoid dogshite cars rocking up thinking they're cool when in reality they belong in a scrap yard.

Indeed. Shame it has to be invite only to make sure the cars don't look shit. Can have a licence to prove you can drive, but it would all kick off if you tried to tell BDC drivers they not allowed to enter as their car is fucking horrid lol.
I mean the driving in that vid was nothing ground breaking, but it was decent, and the fact the cars were all awesome made it 10 times better to watch than a vid of even better driving and shit cars.
It's like BDC, watched it livestream on Sunday, and even though the driving was decent (not amazing, but decent), because most the decent looking cars didn't even qualify, after the first couple of battles of the top8 I was bored n turned off.
Drift Allstars has pretty decent looking cars, not amazing, some look fully Romanian, but the driving is so mental it doesn't matter. But that vid shows how cool cars keep the interest up regardless of driving.

amazing video. Many of them are running JZ engines and screamers and single turbos, just like here, and many of them are hitting rev limiter all time, just like here, sooo nice.
Track looked like crap, but the compensate with concrete-impacts all the time, too cool... We should hope for a part of the track covered with concrete in scandinavia too, would have created a lot more for spectators to look at, and a whole lot of cosmetic injuries at the cars...
