D1 championship

http://mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/select3643.htm


Anyone else think it strange that a rear wheel drive Ford beat out all major Japanese cars, in japan, in a drifting contest non the less?


That guy must be awesome behind the wheel of that GT to win that.


First american car/driver to ever do that.

Crazy.

And maybe you don't like mustangs, but you gotta respect that.

This would be considered an O/T thread. They happened from time to time.

Re: D1 championship

I can't believe Vaughn Gitten Jr. won japan vs. america. Vaughn isn't even that good. I'm suprised his car even made it through the event. His car broke down in like 2 of this years past formula D events. But atleast an American won the japan vs. US this year.

Re: D1 championship

Looks like he had a really good run. He's got some serious side angle hapening, on the edge of loosing control. He's got my respect!

Re: D1 championship

Yea the boys in the 240sx forums were fuming about this one. From what I heard from one of the guys there, the judging was really fucked up and etc.

If any of you guys follow drifting closely there's no way Gitten and a fuckin Mustang would be able to touch D1's top drivers. I{ll have to see some videos tho before I can ever give him props.

Ionno. If you remember, the last D1 vs. USA the judges were all japanese and not a single american made it like past around the quater or semi-finals. I think Rhys was the last American standing.

I think that perhaps they are making up excuses because an american car won a drift contest.
