What the hell is the meaning of this? i watched Angelo with my own eyes not 50 feet from the hair pin, he wasnt robbed of *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*, he just didnt do good enough, end of story. If he thinks those runs of his were good enough to be in the d1 then hes off his rocker. Who wrote this?
Drift 411 (EDITED BY WEAPON X) DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT. Is someone pulling strings? There's no way Forsberg beat Hubinette at the FD finals, Forsberg went off the track. What the hell is going on with drifting? None of the judges based anything off of entry speed, angle, or following the other persons line in the tandem. It was all about who generated a bigger crowd reaction. 90% of the tards in the crowd were just kids that have seen drivers in magazines and root for them because of that. You guys need to get your $hit straight. I'll write more on it when I get over my migraine headache. Formula D was garbage, I'm glad I got my ticket for free.
Edit: Props to Stephan Papadakis, Alex Pfeiffer, Tyler McQuarry, Sam Hubinette, Rhys Millen, Tanner Foust, Ken Gushi, The Hellcamino driver (sorry forgot your name, I was with Kevin the artist formerly known as Jasper's manager) and all those who I talked to that I'm too tired to mention here. You're all really cool guys.
I agree, samuel was on his rear the entire time. Some of the drivers didn't even drift during competition and it was still up in the air who won. The will call line was bs. There were to many long gaps between rounds. D1 was a lot better organized. Props to millen for taking the win. Him, hubinette, and pfeiffer put a really good show on. It was sweet how you can go in the pits without paying more. The music was a plus to.
I was there and had a bird's eye view of things from the top row. Hubinette should've beat Fossberg; HE WHOOPED HIM COMPLETELY IN THE FIRST SET OF MATCHES!
Sadly, the idiots in the crowd wanted them to go at it one more time, and Hubinette had the luck of messing up in the second match of that set.
No offense, but I disagree. I was there as well, with a press pass on the track, and it was close but Chris beat Sam. I don’t think you guys are taking into account that these events are usually judged with a certain degree of handicap. You can’t expect a 350z to be able to make the same entry speed as a viper.
P.S. Rhys should have been disqualified when he hit Chris's car. I also heard Sam hit his car too, but I didn't see it.
