Ok here's a question for you all........Is 4 Wheel Driving a form of motorsport???

Ah, how timely, the new Road & Track arrived (Aug 2004). This is one of the best american magazines, well balanced. Anyways it has an article on drift, here's what it says:Quote:
But before you get too excited ....Quote:

And about NOT being an illegal kid's activity, it is run for example under the D1 Grand Prix, Laguna Seca and other 'real' race tracks.

By the way, at the Mazda Laguna Seca drifting, a Dodge Viper (V10 engine) was narrowly beat out by a Nissan 200SX for ultimate winner.

Is freestyle motorcross a motorsport? Motorbikes have engines and they compete against each other, so I would say yes. So why wouldn't drifting be classified as motorsport? The cars have engines and the drivers are competing against each other. Sure it Gymnastics, but come on, its like the "ute" argument all over again. Lots of races are won or lost in the pits, Could that be miscontrued as not being motorsport? Anything, in my opinion that has engines and competing involved can and is classified as motorsport.

Now driving your car fast and/or drifting on public roads illegally, outside an organised event is NOT motorsport. Not only is it illegal, its also not a real competition, as not all drivers are aware of the rules, nor is not organised so ALL drivers can compete.

It's a pitty that there aren't more blowers floating around, It would be soooo much fun to stick a 6/71 on an FJ, or an SR.

hahaha true
but urs is supercarged...
if I had a supercharged L20b... then we'd have a competition on our hands

Is that so? I beg to differ. When you learn to drive and get a car of your own, I would like to see it #### all over my A14!

I would like to see ( and build ) a 1000 wagon with a 3.8 injected V6 in it and set the suspension up just for drifting ,You can pick up a V6 and auto (or 5speed) VN commodore for under a grand at the auctions so if you did most of the work yourself I reckon you could build an awsome drift car for under $3,000 .
And you wouldn't have a dirty great big intercooler on the front of you car like everybody else ( I'm getting a little tired of seeing intercoolers on cars that they don't belong that's all )

I think Oregano will do the trick.....but its the beer thats does the trick......lol

You know when I first saw the driifting comps, First thing I thought of was the Holden Team at The Ekka....hahahahaa
Nah only Kidding.......Just KIDDING
