I've been to a couple of D1 events. It really is a good time, and those guys can definitely drive. I'm not as big of fan of the newer gymkhana style events they run in the States, but there's no denying those guys' abilities behind the wheel.

Sorry for the double-post.
Anyway. You can go down to any large supermarket carpark on a friday or saturday night in England and you'll see 17/18 year olds 'drifting' their cars, I just don't see the appeal of it personally.
Its the kind of thing that you might get a few giggles out of just after you've learnt how to drive, but then you grow up.
I have been for a ride with a NZ champ about 5 years ago, and at turn 1 at pukekohe he though it in at 100mph, i could not turn my head enough to see where we were heading, it took a heap of car control at it, I had a S14 200SX with just under 400hp at one stage, and it was fun to do the practice days,
I don't go and watch a lot of it tho, its a bit boring to sit all day and watch it, but ill catch a highlights package if its on TV,
they had a challange between the NZ drift Champ, ex NZ Sprint Car Champ, and a top level v8 toruing car racer, where they each drove each's others cars, the Drifter picked up the other two pretty quick, the sprint car racer picked was better in the drifter, and the touring car driver crahsed the sprint car in 3 laps, and could not get the drift car that well either,
I don't even know why I got involved in this conversation really, I just think its a bit lame thats all.
Shane Van Gisburgen who is a top V8 Supercar driver also competes in the NZ drift series,
here is the link to the Driver Challange,

The term may be offensive in America, but over here the term Jap is simply used as a lighthearted abbreviation. Believe it or not I've travelled pretty extensively throughout Asia and have absolutely no racial prejudices whatsoever.
