Was there. the atmosphere was truly amazing. The idea to wet the track on purpose to keep it rubber free was great but... BUT... This is the second year the final was organized on that stadium, which literally means they got over 2 years to come up with a ventilation solution for a closed stadium. I am no expert in this topic, but I was there - the stadium is not air thight with the roof closed. It's sides are open. Where I was sitting there was a massive draft. They said the smoke would suffocate people and trigger fire alarms yet the half-time show and ending prove this wrong since there was a ton o pyrotechnics and fireworks which led to a massive cloud of smoke. One thing that is interesting, that wasn't said on the livestream, that was said by our Polish announcer on the stadium - he literally said 'it's a new standard to drifting' (wetting the track on purpose). Which led me to think 'is it?'. the fact that there was no rubber laid on the track gave a lot of grip to the cars. there was no ice skating like in Long Beach this year. visibility was great, both for the spectators and the drivers, less tires were used and the whole field was very thight from the qualifying to the final. Only two mayor crashes in the top32. 'Dry' drifting on the other hand is wading more and more towards grip, speed, power and again grip, speed, power which is geting pretty ridiculous. One last thing - Shanahan is such a cry baby xD
@@Vadiv91 you bring a good point from the announcers POV… this could be the solution we’ve been looking for. It ticks sustainability (a reason corporations don’t like drifting cuz you burn through tires), still a great show, and could lead to more opportunities.
Glad you enjoyed the show. Next time you should come (tickets already available), we had there also couple of VDM drivers as spectators, so you would be able to meet them face to face :-)
It really was a near perfect event, from the organization to crowd management and off course the show. The only little downer was the wet track, but on the other side it was the right decision, because of the unpredictability of the weather around Europe around the time, I guess everyone saw the massive floodings. I don't think that Drifting in the wet will become the new Standard, it takes some of the spectacle away, but I see the point that it is a pro environment argument, and we will see what the future will bring. Whatever happens, we surely will be there again next year!

@@Awataar that’d be awesome! Just got my passport, so once the new year gets closer and I plan out the year, I will definitely plan to come out 🤙🏼
@@brandongardner404 great! If you will need help, let me or VDM crew know.
