Interesting. I'm not really into drifting but I ran into a big drift comp at Tsukuba RC Arena about two weeks ago, they even had an english announcer. Super happy to see so many people from all over the world go there and enjoy their hobby. Nice side effect was that there was less traffic at the offroad track that day :D
i know i know 2 comments is excessive.. i truly believe that there are 2 paths casual and competitive.. if you are going for comp, learnt he styles and tunning, lots of research and lots of reading and lots of trying different setuops.. casual drift.. pick up an rdx, a decent set of electronics and you are good to go.
@@anuar.m.y Of course. I see a lot of drivers now getting into the competitive side of things. Trying to better their driving and tuning and maybe it’s just to be able to keep up with the top drivers in their area but there’s nothing wrong with keeping this as a fun, casual hobby and just going out there and driving. No matter how fast or slow you are. 🙂
I learned a lot at the comp. However, there was a zone where A LOT of people got a bad judgment call and 0 out of their qualifier runs. It was the flick before the large sweeper. They called "2 tires out" when people tried to flick hard into the long sweeper. In their own video, you can see the second tire if it is in or out. Also, almost everyone from out of town you ask said there is a bias towards the locals.. and they might be on to something. I truly believe that to make things truly even, the worlds comp should be held outside of California every other year in smaller more tech tracks rather than just the larger tracks it is also worth mentioning that the standard is the "Japanese style" flick and hold drift.. and their tracks are designed just like the super g track. i personally would like to travel to Japan and try the Tsukuba track and learn from the locals or even compete at Tsukuba, expanding my horizon of style and knowledge.
@@anuar.m.y I know Steve tries to change the layout right before comps to break the muscle memory of the locals and I would credit him for that but locals will always have a home court advantage there with familiarity of surface handling and consistency. All you can really do as a driver is be familiar with your car and adapt your driving to the comp layout that day. I wish you luck in your future competition journeys and keep driving!
