FD is becoming hard to watch. The judging is terrible. Thanks to all the great drivers, you all deserve better judges
There was some tough battles to call, but the only big mistake was adam vs matt, but I didnt see it before the later replays when adam was explaining what happened. I've been judging for 4 years now, so I know how it is to be in their shoes, have you tried it?
@@MHPDRIFTINGOdie vs rome was wrong as well Rome couldn't transition due to Odie making contact twice 🤣
This judging can’t be any worse! Have these judges ever drifted? They have zero clue
If every judge was Robbie nishida that would be great lol
@@briskibriski275 Robbi Nishida is a hugely experienced driver, competitor and judge. All around the world too, not just in the US. Sometimes the decision goes where you want it sometimes it doesn't, there is no "perfect" system of judging. I would rather have the live stream not take 1/2 a day to watch and not have a culture where appeals and counter appeals are the norm. If that costs the odd decision I personally disagree with then so be it. If you want "definitive" decisions watch a sport with digital timing and no subjective focus.
Running PRO without review or protest is not sitting right with me. "Trust me bro" method isnt very professional.
And the judges saying "I dont feel like getting hit like that would disrupt the car that much." How would you know?
Plus having a MOD in the chat adding the fuel to the fire when there is a questionable call is not a good look either.
Very likely Ryan Sage on mod duties lol. The judges lack credibility on some questionable calls
Yeah... The new qualifying as well is kinda garbage. Why do half the drivers get a free pass? Seems like the judges just want their jobs to be easier.
Also rome got robbed he got knocked off the track how many times. Then was told “not enough contact to effect” but enough to bend his suspension and frame of car!
@@dannybravo7823 Cant believe they didnt think that double tap and any effect on his already hurt car. Rome left Atlanta in pieces tonight
@@ma77bcThe new format is actually way better. The people who usually wouldn’t quali or get knocked out in their first battle actually get some competition tandem time. I think the field as a whole will improve a lot with this after a few years, meaning it’s not the same 16 every time
Congratulations, FD team! You took a poorly executed series and made an absolute f@cking mess out of it!
The new format is trash, and the judges are useless.

Thanks mate
Who are the judges to say a CLEAR bump didn’t disrupt the car. especially when the DRIVERS are saying it did. Rome had been hit MULTIPLE times at this point why would he drive off track again. This round was a JOKE
Rome was riding the brakes for way too long, watch the top-down replay. That was his fault.
His front wheels are at the right angle, his vehicle position on the track is fine. He lights off at the right time. Why didn't he make it? Perhaps go back to his previous run with CF and recognize that he sustained damage to the front and up until this battle was not able to drive the car in any similar setting.
@@formuladrift So winning is as simple as ramming the lead car off the track? Odi came into the decel zone way too hot and screwed Rome. Huge L from the Judges and FD as a whole
@@odd_originit’s not Odis fault that romes car was down on power and not fast enough for pro drifting.
Denofa definitely left at the opportune moment imagine coming back after a win to this sh*tshow
2:25:56 absolutely horrible call. Same with LZ’s. These judges are ridiculous. The community needs to run these idiots off.
What a ridiculous call. It’s like they are trying to encourage bumping your lead off track or out of drift to get a win.
Idk I see your point but it looks more like Rome changed angle and speed and Odi stayed on the trajectory he was led on.. when you chase that close, there is less wiggle room and if lead or chase driver makes a mistake, it's gonna have a lot more of an effect
Nah, Rome fucked up the lead, that was his fault. He was innocent when Higa hit him, but this was all on him. In any other comp he would have also taken the L.
"The community" only wants drifting to be judged as a popularity contest and would rather have runs decided by who has more followers on IG lmfao.
Honestly Sorenson outdrove him an did the same thing he's too aggressive Odi does it to Rome on entry and Rome isn't aggressive enough if the judges ain't playing favorites why does it feel so suspect I mean Odis other car even got a free pass into the finals
@@doughbizzle84 Rome brake checked Odi and took a fucked up line.
Odi was on the right line and under power when Sorenson hit him.
Jarod needs to stop insinuating a flop. It makes FD look so bad to say that a 2 time champion would even think of sandbagging on a collision. He makes these drivers look like they have no integrity
Who Vaughn?
What a shame of event. Im a FD fan, but this event, the judges, Jarod's comments... Simply pathetic.
J rod is a cringe clown. How were forced to listen to him is a sad state of affairs. He must have blackmail on the owners. Anyone I’ve ever talked to says he makes watching barley watchable
Clearly favoritism un the comments, nothing possitive to agree! Unbelievable he's still in FD, i feel so sad in this event, worse event by far.
Jarrod has single handedly ruined live streaming from FD. This dude should be fired and replaced.
The comments that Jay makes is just crazy. It’s just wicked foolishness that drops out of his mouth. God forbid.
What did I miss that JD said? Good lord he must have been shouting slurs and wishing drivers would crash and burn to get this reaction. So many whiney people on a free broadcast. Dudes gotta enthusiastically entertain a packed venue of hot and or soggy fans and a bunch of free loaders on YT that just whine for HOURS upon HOURS for an entire weekend. Sheesh
I’m an Odi fan but he *shouldn’t* have gotten the win over Sorensen…
I was watching with an FD newbie that was all amped up and excited after the Odi/Sorensen runs. All that excitement drained away after the results came in and I had to explain why the driver with the better lead and significantly better follow, lost because of the contact right before the finish line (despite it not causing the lead driver to zero).
It was a bummer getting someone to try watching FD, start getting really into, and then loose interest because the more exciting driver (and better, in this case) lost on a technicality at the literal finish line.
I understand the need for technical judging, but the vast majority of fans watch for the excitement. Not the fine print in the rules books.
What's wild is how inconsistent the judges were all night. Its hard to explain rules and foster excitement when one driver gets a pass (i.e.. Fields) and the next driver (Sorensen) doesn't. IDK what the judges were doing tonight but they obviously weren't watching the same races that the announcers, fans in attendance and at home were watching.
I agree. Sorensen should’ve gotten that Win. But hey It is what it is, FD judges are not the best when it comes to judges. They’re inconsistent.
Sorenson got robbed! Live odies driving! But Sorenson destroyed both runs!
So that one is actually pretty straight-forward not in the sense that the call is a no-brainer, but in the sense that the thing that the judges claimed actually has a true or false answer because the claim is that Odi did not decel. We have data that can prove that, assuming it was being collected. Ok, so how could that be? Well, it's important to understand that the modern drift car uses all kinds of tools to control the vehicle that are counter-intuitive. In the old days, we used to have a front brake light on the windshield and we removed it because as the cars developed it was confusing fans who were seeing it pop all the time as drivers were left foot braking. We also have data to show that left foot braking and off gas do not necessarily create a decel in a drift car at a certain rate of speed and momentum, so when you see off gas or brake blips or brake blips in general, the car is not necessarily deceling. And that is why we have those lights and have invested in telemetry. Sadly, Odi's lights were not working or we could have settled on the course that night because that is the data we use to determine if a car is in decel and decel for us has a specific mathematical formula that is best understood as a visual decel of the car, meaning from the naked eye, the car can be slowing speed or momentum. So now, what's going to happen is we are going to get that data and we are going to verify if Odi was deceling or if Sorenson was at a faster closing rate and tighter angle and/or line and we will either confirm or overturn that result, which generally we can do in competition, but we need the other competitors lights. The reason to think that the judges got it right, however (I would say at like 75% confidence of them in this case on my part) is because the standard for deceling was designed in concert with them, us and the teams as the minimum to decel and that is based off of watching thousands of runs and also knowing what each car looks like when it is in fact deceling and Odi's car has a very specific tell, so that's why they went that way in their ruling, even though you see off gas and brake tap from Odi. Hope that helps.
FD judges are an absolute embarrasment to the sport. Teams spend so much money to be at the mercy of three blokes who aren't fit to judge a fancy dress competition. No appeals, just a corrupt process.
This new rule book might be the death of fd.
Explain
@@Thatinternetdude99no protesting the decision. If you feel like you were wronged, than you should be able to voice it. When the competitors and 95% of the viewers think they got it wrong, chances are they got it wrong
Its becoming a amateurcomptetition with big money behind it.... FD is the biggest joke in proffesional drifting🤣🤣🤣
@@cliff4695 you can voice it and you can appeal it. We’re just not going to stop the show to handle 15 protests that take forever and add unnecessary delays. What other series even has protests btw?
@@formuladriftthe other series don’t make bad enough calls to require protests lol
how can these 3 idiots be judges
I used to get excited for FD weekends, but with this judging FD is losing its luster.
Bring back protesting. So many horrible calls needing a 2nd look
I’ll be surprised if they make it thru the season without some crew guys fist protesting a judges face at this rate
Protests never were for second looks. They were for objective items missed, not judging calls themselves.
@@formuladriftit's like you guys don't know your own rules, also we need more angles why do we only have 2?, we can't see anything is the FD budget really that small? Can't afford more cameras? Alot of calls would have be clear if only there were more angles plus the judges are clueless
@@formuladrift I’m confused, wouldn’t seeing “objective items missed” be considered a second look?
@@formuladrift Well then bring in new judges?
SCRIPT SCRIPT YEAAAH, JAMES DEANE WAS A GOAT
Ironically, thank you for this comment. I thought Deane was gonna win the whole thing and you spoiled it for me, but it made it that much more exciting when I found out it didn't happen that way 😂
YOUR JUDGING SUCKKKKKKKS so many BAD calls, TOO THE DRIVERS AWESOME DRIVING
These judges are on crack…. Rome got tapped on initiation so he tried to counter steer from his rear getting bumped. Then it throws him off track. How is that not odi’s fault. I’m so sick of the excuses and bad calls. Not even worth watching this garbage. Just give the favorites a hat with chips and award them the championship 🤷🏻♂️
Rome was riding the brakes for way too long, that was his fault. If it was favoritism they would have gave Rome the win considering he's more popular.
Romes car not being fast enough is not Odis fault
Odi gapped Rome badly on the first run. Rome’s car was down on power that’s not Odis fault. This is pro drifting, it’s the big leagues you gotta keep up
@@seventh-hydra Isn't that a decel zone? I thought he was allowed to brake there.
@@GeorgioSubs Reasonably, but there's a limit where it becomes unreasonable.
Ie imagine if he dropped to like, 5mph? Obviously that's an extreme example, but a line's gotta be drawn somewhere yanno
@@seventh-hydra Man these rules are a nightmare of subjectivity. Its no wonder everyone hates the judges.
So sorry for Rome. Pushed of track and still wont get the win
Brake checking is a bitch 🤷
Having a 16 yo reddit mod in the live chat arguing with people is so unprofessional. I get that you want to defend your employers, but that just isn't the place or method. FD should be bigger than that. This weekend in general was a complete clown show
Can you give me one screengrab that demonstrates this unprofessionalism or arguing as you say, as opposed to, trying to inform or correct?
If Klutch Kickers comes back and does the viewing like this on you tube or something similar , with the stuff going on in FD , i guarantee KK would get plenty of views and new viewership , especially when this new FD like this
Is it me or is the judging getting worse
Jups its getting beyond stupid a this point. Just sad to see for the drivers and fans
This is impossible to watch and not want to puch the screen. Adam, Minowa, Forsberg, Rome, Deane... The list of ficked up call is insane.
Like how tf was it not atleast an OMT between Deane and Aasbo?
I was always the person to defend Formula Drift but I can't defend FD anymore
A lot of people aren’t liking the rules this year. and formula D seems to be getting awfully defensive about it kind of an, “it is what it is, and if you don’t like it oh well”.
Which rules and why and also which ones affected results at RA?
@@formuladrift no protests, “limited” one more times, no qualify (even tho some people like myself kinda enjoy seeding), just some of the stuff I’ve seen mentioned. Also. One gripe I have is it’s starting to feel rushed. Lorette will be mid interview and cars get sent. Leaving a couple battles to the smaller view, I haven’t ever noticed that before this year
Hahahahahha. 96% negative comments with good merit. No wonder FD is now the least respected drift series in the world of drifting.
Seriously why would any sponsor look to invest in drivers whom compete in this series.
Worse event by far! Pathetic.
I’ll be watching drift master for the rest of the year for when I wanna watch some drifting
@@andrewmccaffery8990 especially with whoever is running the FD channel responding to the comments how unprofessional
Why the judges keep saying a contact is not hard enough, these guys will not give up for a soft love tap, if they are shutting down or sending it off track (huge risk to car) … then its a hard enough contact to influence them…. Very strange calls on the contacts, takes away alot of pleasure of watching this series….
Format isnt FD’s problem, it’s the judging
Im done with this trash.
Matt's chase against Adam was barely even a chase, trying to fix his mistakes he overdrives into Adam causing Adam to have to stop his lead run due to contact on the metal crash-bar in the rear, the judging is worse than you'd expect at an amateur event, the judge that chose OMT was the most reasonable, and myself and thousands disagreed that there should even have been an OMT, Adam was supposed to get the win, the contact was more than just plastic, Matt screwed up and then tried to fix it by overdriving, literally forcing Adam's car to lock up, but hey, reading all of these comments, it's safe to say I'm not the only one who thinks this is a major issue.
All three judges scored Matt a zero in run 2. On judge thought the first run was even, two thought Matt did better. Can you address that?
@@formuladrift Yes actually I can address that, since Adam's lead run was obviously impeded by Matt, I'm struggling to understand how it's possible that Adam's score was lower than Matt's, who literally drove over the track to catch up, and crashed into Adam, which caused him to be unable to complete his run. If judges actually looked at what happened it would be obvious, but hey, everyone's comments are about how bad the judges choices were, so I think you understand.
@@deanohasajob Dont try to use Logic with this FD mod lmfao. This dudes huffin copium and chasin it with bootlickin. FD is losing BIG drivers left and right. They are the Disney of motorsports. Let things run their course, current FD will evetually be gutted and brought back with better judges and a MUCH better system.
@@timothykeller9419 Hopefully they'll have good judges when I have a son one day, if I had a kid now I'd rather he watched barbie than this horseshit
FD needs to get off their high horse and admit their system is flawed. The yt mod (probably Sage) literally said "The new rules were implemented to address the complaints from last year so be careful what you wish for I guess". Well, idk who complained about cancelling protests? Also no idea why the fans would want to see a shorter event just so FD can finish up faster 👀
protests are gone because denofa caused a bunch of drama after he got protested for his hood and then went after him on sm and his fans were threatening the kid.
@@jsomething2Denofa the chunky bully no one is afraid of.
@@jsomething2 Yeah? And that was enough to warrant a rule change? It was a stupid protest anyway. Modify that specific rule if flopping hoods can or can't be considered distracting.
@@andrewmccaffery8990 Hahaha! 😂 So true
Those are exactly the complaints we got. Too long, too much downtime, which is a direct result of rule book processes, CTO’s, replays for fault, protests and much more. And then to add, why is this this this this and this an incomplete? We did exactly what people asked us to do, along with drivers.
It’s getting laughable the decisions now something has to be done about the judging
We gave you two new judges this year. A Driftmasters judge and Chelsea Denofa’s championship spotter. Think it’s them or something else?
@@formuladriftI think it's the lack of protests and some calls were just wrong like they aren't watching the same battle
@@formuladriftattacking the fans in comments is also just a bad look, keep going tho, dig ur own grave I'll stop watching I know many fans will if this garbage keeps happening
@@dnoni9402 I agree 100%, I’ve always felt FD’s replies in these comments are beyond unprofessional and extremely defensive
FD getting touchy pick your toys back up and put them back in the pram. Clowns judging clowns commentating clowns running there you tube.
I didn’t catch any explanation about the protesting. If it’s a sport based on the decisions from 3 individuals, the athlete or team is always allowed to challenge/protest any call or decision they don’t agree with.
What is the point of this?
You can’t bet on a sport where the result can change after people have been paid
They can appeal. They just can’t do it, in-event anymore.
@@formuladrift So, what’s the point of appealing after the event is done if it doesn’t right the wrong call ?
@@formuladriftwow that's braindead
@@formuladrift Thats silly.
Shambles of a competition.. hands down worst drift series in the world. Ur lucky james is there
Ego is going to be the death of fd. Why is the admin in the chat acting like nothing can be improved. All of these people aren’t just criticizing because it’s fun. They genuinely care about the sport. “Everyone else is wrong and I’m right” attitude is so lame from any type of business standpoint.
That's ironic. We change stuff all that time to try and improve and listen to feedback. How could that be, that "nothing can be improved"?
@@formuladrift replying late at night after work hours we know you’re on coke buddy
Brandon on the chase of odi sick he was on fire
I think brandon was robbed
I regret my choice of words in this comment 😬, after what happened that night
place 3 bags of potatoes as judges. I guarantee it will be better
How tf was it not OMT with Aasbo and James? Aasbo litterly hit the inside clip both in his chase and his lead and he knocked over the cone. Only mistakes James made was not going as deep as he should have and taking out 1 clipping point. He still had way more proximity through his chase than Aasbo. Clearly favortism for Aasbo as usal.
I’m pretty sure aasbo could drive around the dead straight and they’d still give him wins
@@54raceman yeah even the fans thought he won their battle and it would have atleast been OMT. Let's what Denofa has to say about Atlanta.
They are trying to limit OMTs to get it over with faster, which is a shame since the really tight battles going multiple times are the most exciting ones
Whoever came up with these new rules needs to be banned from ever deciding on any rules for anything, ever
What a joke fd is becoming lol all these drivers trying to compete while commentators and judges showing clear favouritism to the “championship contenders” what’s the point of wildcards if they can’t win a round?? Just in the show to inflate egos of the teams with big sponsors? Might as well run a top 8 only and write your script.
I'm onboard with the new rules and I've been able to see the judges logic on most of their post decision explanations, but Odi vs Rome call was a mistake. You could see Rome's car rotating to go around IC1 and then it rotates the other way immediately after the second contact. Odi's second tap changed the direction of Rome's vector. Its high time someone developed a vector analysis software for these cars, because an impact followed by a direction of travel is dead easy to tell.
Wang is putting up and I'm here for it! WANG GANG!!!
Maaaan - huge shoutout to the drone pilots. I cannot express what that does for everyone. Super talented.
I LOOOOOVE ATL BABY!!!!!
Оди вытолкал соперника+сам не закончил проезд,но победил😂😂😂 судейство топовое🎉
При том еще и Соренсену якорь кинул два раза! Поэтому Соренсена и развернуло и все равно отдали победу Оди... Это как вообще?
Odi pushing Rome off course yet he still got the win? damn the judges are messed up..
Rome was brake checking
@@seventh-hydra brake check??? then what's the decel zone for? accelerating?
@@TheMatsaikoable It's for scrubbing REASONABLE amounts of speed, not riding on your brakes literally the entire way down.
When you watch the slow-mo top down, RCP is literally sitting on his brakes the whole time (as shown by the red light) until he gets tapped by Odi.
Whether it was nerves, or because his car is busted, or because he was pulling a Neymar, I don't know. But that's why he got hit.
The judging is really becoming a problem with fd I'd say... I don't like the fact that you can no longer protest!!
sorensen lightly taps odie and gets booted, odie taps RCP twice and gets the win after blowing up. are these judges watching the same thing as us? or do they already know who to boot? is the rulebook just pick what you feel is right? seems like there's no stable calls being made.
The difference is Odie was actually driving, RCP was sitting on the brakes.
If someone in front of you is driving with a reasonable speed and angle and you hit them, that's your fault. If they're brake checking, that's on them.
@@seventh-hydra not true. Aasbo used to brake check all the time for the win.
@@garrettviveiros5643 Well new judges and we didn't see that happen this time. Lead cars going too slow were deemed at fault (Forsberg, RCP) but chasers going too hard (Higa, Sorensen) got the fault.
Odi getting the win over Charpentier is crazy too. He came in way too hot and slowed down by hitting Charpentier!!
Joke of a company when half the comments are about useless judges and commentators you lost
Dear Formula drift, i started watching fd in the tanner faust days it turned me into a real drift fan.
In recent years the level of this competition has dropped to an all time low..not the drivers and fans but lack of competent judges and consistent rules.
The calls are getting beyond stupid at this point.
The different excuses for the same scenario's we see on track makes it look very unprofessional.
You always say and i quote "we dont have Redbull money" but it's not about that.
Just a fair platform for all is what we want to see,not this rushed sponsor orgy with some drift cars.
The drivers and fans deserve more respect.
Not saying this out of hate just a fan of the sport ✌️
Whatever fucking judges they picked for this year they absolutely suck the whole judging panel needs replaced
Robbie is actually a good judge the other two suck
Mods probably on delete comment mode
Let them dig their own grave. If it was remotely, respectful, I might watch it live. Now I just wait, and skip through the commercials and commentary. After watching this drift series since its inception, I could care less if it went away.
Total wreck feast in the beginning. At least it's no weather issues than what happened at Long Beach earlier.😮😮😮😮😮😮
Apparently bumper cars is legal in fd now. I hate that fd has gotten to this. Rome got hit TWICE in the same corner and you can see it clearly put him off line coming through the first corner. If he continued he’s most likely going to be off line for outer 1 up the hill and that’s dangerous as well. This event was a huge bummer.
that Finals run was all on Olsen. Crazy judges
“We as judges don’t feel like” lol have you driven lol I know Robbie has but be real how long ago was that and I don’t even know who the other two are just some random names to me
How was that a one more time final, Olsen was no where to bee seen in his 1st chase 😂
Because freddy fcked up the first corner allowing him to pull that gap… sime decisions were questionable… this was not one of them.
FD really needs to chance the judges. This is looking like fifa.
People keep saying, “flop”, so I know what you mean.
I haven’t missed a round of FD in years, and I turned off this shitshow. No protest is nonsense. It’s very clear who you guys want to win, and definitely lean towards the “championship candidates” rather than actually judging skill. Robbie is the only judge who was making the right calls.
Which battle would have benefitted from protesting BTW?
RCP losing his bumpers every run is so funny 😂
I sometimes do think Adam is outmatched straight up. Some of the og's got the skill, talent, and experience, that call with Matt fields is so bad.
Smaller tire sizes and power limits/ restrictions would make for fewer mechanical issues and better tandem battles imo.
Why did rome not get the win over odi? Can anyone explain, he kept up in chase despite having a wreck of a car from being battered in previous battles then gets pushed off AGAIN when odi was too agreessive and almost impeding and then Rome is somehow left with an L again?! This is not just a fan taking it out on the judging cause I want rome to do well im just genuinely confused, if the aggression and pushing doesnt matter then why did Sorrensen not win in his and Odi’s battle?
Rome fucked up his lead run with bad line and bad speed. He never would have gotten hit if he was doing what he was supposed to.
Odi's speed was reasonable and his line was fine, when Sorenson hit him. That's why it's Sorenson's fault. Rome's was not when he got hit, and that's why it's his fault.
New rules, no protests, Therefore as a chase driver, force the lead driver off track and win! good sport!
I love Odi but he CLEARY dropped the throttle at the apex. The smoke trail fainted and his RPM dropped out. Sorry that was his fault.
But did he decel? That's the question. Modern drift cars can brake and be off throttle for periods of time and maintain pace because those are tools of control. That is a known fact, so the question is, was he or was Sorensen increasing pace. I agree, Odi could have been, but only because his lights were not functioning. On the other hand, Sorensen is green, green, green, which means up until the point of contact, he is increasing g-load and momentum, so he is picking up the pace there. Doesn't mean Odi didn't decel, just means we have to be careful making a confident claim on that situation.
@@formuladrift Odi's light off, ore not functioning? When not functioning it should be a technical DQ because judges were not able to judge as they should be.
FD could really do with in car cams to see what the driver was actually doing when smoke is blinding making the right call.
Are the judges smoking crack or something? They are doing such a bad job its incredible.
Fd should add polls after each battle in the livestream to let viewers interact and vote on who they think should win the battle. Just for fun 😊
We used to do it a lot but then a guy would spin and still get 15% of the vote. Made doing it kind of pointless, but we’ll do it from time to time still.
@@formuladriftoh that’s unfortunate.. too many trolls!! Thanks for the response 👍🏼
We as judges dont feel like those bumps caused him to go off track LMFAO
I am not an Aasbo fan but he killed that run vs Deane
norwegian may feel proud two eu players slaying the final ❤
Chris was off throttle and straightening before Rome hit him. Better call this right. I guess I’ll see shortly
Aasbo and deane should be OMT wtf judge is thinking..
OMT or a win to James. But I guess they can't let a driver win twice in a row as it would give the competition a bad image. We can't have a driver dominante the sport.
Aasbo is one of the favorite fd judges drivers 😂
I don’t know if it’s judges or the new rules but this event was terrible
They need to fix these timeouts. 5 min. Isn’t enough. Especially only 1 for weekend. Maybe they need to run beadlock wheels.
1:29:48 you can see here lead car is in decel his problems started at the last transition like they say with that popping and here chase car with bad line couldn’t react in time I would say lead car at fault and with the contact last run rome should move on let’s see what the judges say 👀👀
I have been watching FB for like 7+ years, am really struggling to follow judging so far this year. I think they just getting used to new system/structure (hopeful thinking)
After reading @Formula DRIFT comments here, You can be right in your own mind but nobody will watch this clow fiesta, I'm giving up after years of supporting, bye
They are truly running this race
My 4 year old daughter could judge Fd better by herself.
FD claims that they hear what the fans are saying and are working to give them what they want and then somehow do the opposite. Why weren't protest allowed? It feels like the judges are beyond questioning. Many times in the past we haven't even gotten clarification on controversial calls as if the fans don't deserve an explanation. Having a mod in the chat that does little more than bash fans of the sport for questioning the judges' calls certainly does not help either. FD simultaneously seems to say we are listening to your criticisms and screw your criticisms at the same time.
Which of the runs that happened do you think had an actual occurrence that was protestable by the old rules? Im curious
@@formuladrift Regardless of old rules, teams/drivers should be able to protest if they believe that the judges missed something in their decision making.
@@Taterater134 ok, but if it is regardless of old rules, what is a protest without the old one being applied? It sounds like you are advocating for a completely new system and it would be nice to know what that might be to be able to consider it. Because it’s very clear that the old system does not cover any of the battles that are being contested here, less of all the LZ/MF. Nothing in there would be protestable because there wasn’t an incomplete by Matt that got missed (he got one), there wasn’t a fault for contact missed on the transition (that was on Matt). That only thing in dispute is LZ stopping and even though it’s nice to have, we don’t need his admission and we didn’t have it actually until afterward. To the judges, it appeared he stopped unnaturally or intentionally and then he told us he did afterward, a straightforward violation of a rule set forth in the drivers meeting. Now switch the roles and imagine LZ did to Matt what Matt did to LZ and we went against that ruling, what would people being saying about that? It would be hang them all, I think.
2:02:23 I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a bigger commentators’ curse than this one
The judges were questionable for long beach. They were just pathetic in this one. New rules or not, they need to do better instead of making excuses. I'm glad I stopped watching it live a long time ago. It's a shame that all these drivers are being brought down by the bad judges and rules.
Lol i watched the top 32 yday first time ever watching formula drift and i thought hm bit of a joke but went with it, was gonna watch this now but comments seem to be pointing to similar judge decisions so yeah no thanks.
Another bad call. How did Rome not win that 🤯
Finally Aasbo is back ..
Assbo is such a tool 😂 love his side eye commentary even after winning 😑
Shattered for Simen Olsen.......I personally think he won the first final run but it wasn't to be. Congratulations to Assbo for the win and James Deane for the 3rd place. Simen your 1st win is so damn close it's not funny mate, so consistent and smooth 🤙
2:26:10 excuse me hitting the lead car twice in a drift isn’t the reason he went off course? 😂😂😂 ffs 🤦♂️ then in your expert opinion what did cause him to go off was he pushed by a leaf?
2:27:32 you can see right here that hit unsettles Rome and the second hit seals his fate crazy man just crazy these calls
@formuladrift potentiates aasbo's victory
Fd needs to rethink the judging process some of the calls they are having to make reminds me of the 2004
Example?
Just watch the footage from then and watch atl from this passed weekend
I missed the livestream. Watching next day here. Comments from last night started popping up, decided against sitting through it. I'll just go on social media to find out who won
I am not surprised by the deterioration of the situation when I found @formuladrift your comments. There is no professionalism or even rationality in the responses. Do not defend yourself if there is a problem or someone makes mistakes in this manner and arrogant manner. Just because you work with them, you make the matter worse, my child.
Did they offer you a reward? They don't seem to care because they are putting someone like you who responds and tries to justify that there were no mistakes at all. This is not how things are handled and the right solutions and development are found if you care about that because I don’t see that
In my opinion, sometimes we have to go through a series of changes to achieve the best processes, judging calls, etc. It doesn't make sense just to throw negative comments without solutions and FD is actually asking to all of us (as I'm reading the comments) to find solutions and this season is the best opportunity for FD as a whole (drivers, judges, managers, and fans) to come up with a solution. Unfortunately not everybody will 100% agree with every change because it happens in other sports too. Now, adding my 2 cents, I think that causing a collision that disrupts the lead driver should be consider an incomplete or a heavy point deduction for the chase driver. About straightening out I consider it as a point deduction and precaution, the 2 second rule is fine since so many things can happen and we should care more about the safety of the drivers than anything else
Enlightened
This round of FD was an absolute rollercoaster! Wrecks, fire, off-track shenanigans, just when you think you've seen it all! 🏎🔥
This new rule change and judging is really letting the chase drivers be the bullies and get away with it. They're able to get a win with horrendous driving.
All these RCP fanboys crying. He fucked up his lead run, that was 100% his fault for a bad line and braking way too long.
No surprise that he has twice the social media following of Odie. People just want popularity-based judging.
i agree...romie's lead run did not make that good
1:47:48 Wai wow! My friend speaks!😎🥳
feels so sorry that happened to this round....this get bursted out for not acceptable situations and calls over several rounds and that happened today 😢😢
greeting from south korea and i really hope they try to find more good format for running this series and more reasonable judging call system and protesting process. I really enjoyed this series so many years but they may have to admit that they have been making and EARNING this situation.
PLZ COMEBACK WELL AND DONT GET STUCKED IN PAST FAME. IT'S TIME TO CHANGE
FD is turning into a joke.Or already has is probably a better statement
Lmao, im glad ive gotten over judged sports. Any sport not points related but judged is GOING to have controversial calls. Sucks, but it is what it is. Still fantastic to watch
