i find the cnocept of drifting to be more as a fun factor rather than a competitive thing. it may be used in races but even the guys that do togue racing have sportsmanship qualities when they are done racing

This thread is both old and dog tired. The whole "it should be fun" argument is well and good for amateur competition. For professional competition, it's a worthless attitude that won't net wins which in turn get the team paid.

I once asked Chris Forsberg, who is now off of Motorex's Formula Drift team and is driving an S15 for Falken, if he ever considered circuit racing and what he felt about circuit drivers who were interested in drifting. Here was his response.

I have only seen a few circuit drivers be able to step over to drifting. Most of them cannot grasp the actual style of drifting and think it is just oversteering around a turn. I myself want to stay with drifting, it is so much fun and I don't like the constant competitive attitude involved with racing.

If I were Falken Tires, I'd have fired him on the spot. They're investing money and company resources into him to promote their product through victories in competition, ergo he is paid not to have fun but to win.

If he's going to go out there and say "I don't like competition" then he might as well quit.
