    I’ve never understood the outrage at the cost of taking part at the top level. I used to run rally cars here in Ireland, a group N car easily cost 10k a day, WRC could be up to 30k. That’s only at national level.
    Motorsport is expensive, be glad there are grassroots opportunities, be thankful people are willing to put in the time, effort and money to be at the top level.
    Evaluate what you want from it, want to hunt doors with your friends all day? Keep it cheap. Want to put big trophies in your cabinet? Figure out how to fund it.

      because drifting was born because it was relatively cheap, because you could do stuff with stock cars even

      Because drifing was never meant to be this serious. Its meant to be about fun and i think thats exactly what Lone Star is trying to promote.

    Met Ben back in 2018 at a drift clinic at Lanier right after I bought my e36. He was in the pits right next to me and helped me learn some stuff that day. Stand up dude. Cool to see where he is now.

    How is it weird to want to drive RX from progressing in FD? Look at Foust, Millen, Hubinette or even Vaughn. All went from drifting to RX and Ultra 4 along with many other drivers that move through FD to other forms of motorsport. FD is one of the CHEAPEST professional forms of motorsport and it provides tons of viewership and recognition to fans, sponsors and manufacturers that can help support you throughout your progression into other forms of motorsports. Just to run a short season in RX (5 or so races) will easily be over $5 million. Are you really this uniformed of other types of motorsports outside of drifting?

    33:57 Aaron this is one of my favorite parts of watching your driver interviews. You have a real gift for creative thinking outside the box--stuff that medium and big players in the scene could do, that, for the most part, no one is doing (that would *work* and be rad) I hope you can get the ear of bigger companies or do consulting like this on a bigger scale, it would be great for the drift community.

    That’s why I started and learned to drift in Assetto Corsa ~ best money I’ve ever spent.

    Such a trip to hear someones made it to the pinnacle of drifting competition, putting in a good effort with his car driving and sponsors, yet idealy would want out of the sport and into something different. I get FD is a giant money pit but isn't it the love and passion for drifting that makes people to sacrifice it all to be there? Must be a grass is always greener on the other side deal.

    The problem with saying you could build a track, or do all these other things is that you still have to account for sponsors. If you didn't do FD in order to build a track, you wouldn't have any type of sponsor money to make that happen, nor would you have the notoriety. It's not quite as easy as you make it out to be or else everyone would be building their own track. Also, good luck building a track for $1M

    • @LoneStarDrift
      @LoneStarDrift  3 года назад +1

      Sponsors would way rather be a part of building a track I think than a pro 2 program. The story you could tell on RUclips building a track and sharing it with the world, and the passion that would go into it would be amazing. I know I would personally have an easier time picking up sponsors for building a track than I would for competitive drifting.

    • @AZ240SX
      @AZ240SX 3 года назад

      @@LoneStarDrift I could see being able to get sponsors to build a track, but I just feel without any notoriety it may be harder. Maybe I'm mistaken as I haven't personally looked into building a track at a drift type orientation, I just feel it would be much more expensive initial cost. The only info I could readily find about building tracks were more suited to road racing and what I could find was around $15M initial cost. I'm sure for drifting it could be done at a fraction of that but certainly not cheap

      NA JZ or 3sge or K swap. Stick to 15" wheels and tires. Drive for days with no mechanical issues and use 4 to 6 $50 tires per drift day. Stay away from boost and big power. Run a big radiator and good name brand fans and you'll literally drift until your too tired to go on. Builds are stupid.
