Because it's not motorsport. It's figure skating with an engine.

Isn't that rallying....

Alright, CaptainVXR, I stand somewhat corrected on the state of drifting and its followers. It's still not my cup of tea.

If that was the case a lot of rally crews I know would get no points :

before 2006 i had never seen drifting and knew nothing about it .
I went to one event to basically advise them on safety issues and one event was enough to make me a fan - i'll be back next year to see what has been some of the closest and most interesting motorsport i've seen for a long time!
Yes some of the events have had a distinctly chav audience thats purely due to the economies of combining the event with tuning meetings as the following isn't big enough for sole use of some circuits.... although i've seen far smaller paying spectators at "normal" race meetings this year.

with the much talked about decline in entries in so many championships ..... drift may just be the future.......will some people be quite so dismissive then?

Yes but it's like comparing speedskating to figure skating. I don't like sports where someone's interpretation of how someone is driving or skating or swimming or whatever I much prefer a stopwatch to be used to judge who is the best That's why Rally, F1, touring cars and the rest are sport and drifting is...... well it's just not a proper sport.

I think the fact that people on here compared to other forums tend to be purists is the reason why this forum will probably never have a drifting section.

Although these forums are called the 'motorsport forums' a more accurate title may indeed be 'motorracing forums'.

I don't dispute drifting as a type of competition or motorsport, but it's not really racing.
