Formula Drift NJ Was a Wild One. Good, Bad, Ugly, and a Learning Experience

  • Personally I have been drifting for 20 years and I have never had a weekend so eye opening. I have spent weekends swapping engines multiple times, showed up at events where if we don't win we don't have money to go to the next round, totaled out my car and crashed or blown up someone else's car, trailer fires, trucks blowing up, etc etc. But I have never had a weekend where drifting has been so many different feelings in one weekend. The weather, the drama, the team, the car, the competitors, and many other things just didn't jive well this weekend and I mostly blame myself for that. I care and love so much about drifting that sometimes I just walked away from the event not understanding what even happened. Im selfishly glad Adam won the event because it's really great to see that best driver on that day actually won. It's actually more rare than you think for this to happen with how complicated this sport has become. Congrats to Adam and the team for making it a Three Peat. I can't wait to experience St. Louis as I have a much different mindset of what Formula Drift is now.

    Thank you guys.

    Gotta give it to Adam. It was the first time I've ever seen him so "relaxed" behind the wheel of an RTR. He killed it! As for the flappy bonnet thing. I think it would be worse if you'd be chasing someone lost their bumper and it was flapping behind the car. But that's my inexperienced opinion. Well done to all the boys at RTR.

    • @tdolan500
      @tdolan500 Год назад +5

      I wish there was a rule that if you’re in a team you can veto your top 32 battle and essentially drop a position in qualifying to switch bracket sides.
      By qualifying order you’re picking a harder battle.
      Fans want to see teams progress through comps. Sucked when Deane and Piotr meet straightway, sucks when the RTR’s go out when they all can make the final 4. Plus it’s an extra incentive for more teams and more factory support if you remove some of the likelihood of losing half your entry in top 32.

    • @kmh4674
      @kmh4674 Год назад

      There’s a rule that basically states that if somebodies hood comes loose the competitors can cal for a OMT because it affects the quality of the battle. Stuka was obviously beat in that battle and his car was actually flinging bumper at Chelsea while Chelsea was chasing but in the end style called a rebatable because Chelsea’s hood came loose (barely). The rule was alway meant to be for the driver who’s hood came loose to be able to rebatable instead of being dqed because they couldn’t see but style used it as an excuse to try to make up for him being beaten fairly even tho his hood didn’t pop Chelsea’s did and it barely even popped. A bunch of drama on the grid ensued including Chelsea telling Stuke’s team to “pack their shit in the trailer” which I think would be the coolest FD merch ever made because the very next run Stuke crashed anyway while Chelsea left him in the dust. Stuke’s a pussy.

      it was 50/50 whether they'd call it OMT given the "mistakes" from both of them but it was really going to come down to whether or not they were going to say Adam going off was his fault or if it was caused by Chelsea's line into outer zone 2, stuff happens. either way it was an exciting match up but also unlucky that all 3 of them were on the right side of the bracket.

    FD needs to do a hard look at the venues they run. Keep Atlanta, Utah(theres a better line if they put an outter before the last outter zone for big sweeping transitions), Irwindale and Long Beach. Throw the rest in the trash. There’s plenty of road courses that make faster action than lame tracks like Englishtown. It would be exciting if it were 2008.

      Englishtown has a road course, you could make the track in the arena better, they did purpose convert it for drifting and it’s good for spectators but yeah, fig 8’s are boring. They don’t use them at the stadium events in DMEC.

    Its hilarious when you are talking in front of the Porta pot adam goes in and someone starts using an impact could be mistaken for adam going in there and blowing it up

    Quali run - green g-lights right after beginning of OZ2. Lead re-run with Stuke - red g-lights whole beginning OZ2 till dragstrip pavement. Stuke's team made bad call about protest - for sure. But this lead was for me even "worse" when we are talking about sportsmanship...

    Are you open to sharing some of the things you learned about FD that you’re viewing as different going into the next round? Not trying to pry for drama i’m just trying to nerd out on technicals and philosophy driving wise or whatever
