Drag racing. It's hours of bone shaking, loud and powerful cars that are usually stupid fast.

And it's pretty cheap to do and attend

ok Ill admit I chose drifting because i knew it would a shit storm

still my favorite motorsport

rally is my favorite real racing


>>16381965
drifting has the most freedom so its the best

smashing the fuck out of a car is fun so its the best

the scene is universally fun never had a bad time at a drift event

Holy fuck that is some redneck shit and I love it. I would toss demo derby and tractor pulls in but i don't think that's racing just redneck entertainment

>>16381980
If by freedom you mean just being able to hack together pieces of shit and abuse them senselessly, then no, that doesn't make it anywhere near a good motor "sport".

>>16381867
Rally

>>16382053
nope thats exactly what makes it good

>>16382058
No That's what makes it a sport for teenagers with no driving skills other than "ripping the skid lever uleh".

Drag racing is most accessible. I could legit win bracket racing with my 22 second truck

>>16382099
yes but that just involves straights and you spend most of the time waiting to race

worse than autocross

>>16382092
There are lots of other accessible motor sports that actually require more brain thought than clutch dumping and pulling the handbrake buddy.

>>16381867
rally
road/street racing
drag


Autocross/conefaggots and >muh laptimes kinda suck not as much fun

>>16382124
>more brain thought than clutch dumping and pulling the handbrake buddy.

yeah drifting is one of them

theres what

autocross
drag racing

and drag requires less thought than drifting unless you have a powerful/fast car

They raced trucks like that at a local drag strip a few years back and completely wrecked the face of the announcer building behind the strips- paint was totally gone, windows melted outwards, etc. Cool as shit but holy fuck you better have ear plugs in.

I can't decide between racing that has the best theme music or the most carnage. I think Group-B rallying wins for inspiring the public to try to drive above their ability.

modern rally cars are much faster than group b.

>>16383891
are you allowed to stand on the road hoping the tip of your dick will touch the rearmirrors of the car?

>>16383891
but it's completely sanitised.
the cars have too much electronics.
the drama is gone.
they need to limit traction control, stability control, unlimit engine capacity.
nobody even watches wrc anymore, because it's fucking deathly boring.
they new 2017 regulations are a step in the right direction, but it's still not enough.

>>16383891
and far less interesting to watch

No racing is as dramatic as it was in the 70s/80s. Back then most racing cars had more power than the chassis could handle however suspension and tyre technology caught up.

Nobody posted Trans Am yet? production muscle cars duking it out back when they were plentiful and it wasnt a tragedy if one got wrecked. Also, early NHRA drag

If i had to choose something modern id have to go with GT racing.

None, I'm just tired of so many people having such a hard-on for it but see it only as a japanese thing while it is one of the oldest forms of motorsport but it doesn't have a cool name in english.

I wonder how expensive it actually gets, some folks seem to have sponsors, particularly those who have boxes with full chassis/body rather than welded tubes

Rally.
But kart cross seems nice and affordable too. Neat creations there, being able to design your own suspension/steering must be nice.
I wonder if they actually study aerodynamics or just go "fuck it lets make it racey/add moar wings".
