Is drifting a motorsport like drag racing is? Why do they

>>16807115
It's basically the figure skating or skateboarding of motorsports. It's just a judge sport not really a race but kinda since the lead car has to pull farther away from the opponent

team drifting is just judged on how nice you look and how close the group stays together, but that really isn't as competitive since team drifting is just mostly for fun.

D1 and FD are different with their systems
D1 has a computer judging as well, FD is just 3 dudes judging but in D1 there's both incase the cpu fucks up.
D1 and FD both have matches with
In D1 they'll do qualifying the 1st day with single runs and the cpu tracks the speed and angle of the driver
The 2nd day they pair up the drivers based on the results from qualifying, so it's even and shit is done in a martial arts tournament kinda way
3rd day is just the finalists from the matches from the second day.
The cpu doesn't really decide who wins the judges use the driver performance info from the runs to help them decide
Both FD and D1 have every match where they give both drivers the chance to drive lead, so 2 runs minimum each match but if both driver appear to be even for both those runs and performing at a similar level, they'll give them an extra round.

According to the FIA, yes.
>The World Motor Sport Council approved the FIA Drifting Working Group to begin work on creating the first FIA-sanctioned international drifting event.

They way judging is might be simple but the question is how much regulation are they going to put on the cars since most major competitions don't really regulate heavily on the chassis setup, engine, power, suspension. It's going to be weird but I'd still watch it.

The rules will be mostly baised off of formula d, which has far more in depth rules and regulations than one might initially think.

It's not a sport, no. If it has to be scored by judges, it's not a sport.

>>16807666
Lmao this is retarded
What happens when a fight goes all rounds and judges need to tally up scores? Boxing is no longer a sport? Kys

nah it actually takes skill unlike drag racing

but yeah its a motorsport

Also, vapefags and stancefaggots in drifting are akin to the sisterfucking hillbillies in drag racing.
They are intolerable to anyone outside the sport, but they are necessary for the popularity of the sport.
