This should be interesting.

Could you please elaborate sir?

[tyndago]

I am just going off some info from a friend. Saying that a certain car is having a hard time , and probably not going to be allowed to compete in Vegas. Even though (because ?) they are top 10 in points.

WTF??

what more needs to be done?

has a spec cage... at the end of day isn't that all you need... and a inside and outside fuel cut?

how hard can it get

Sky and the Sol, they are fair game in my book... and you have to take a lot into consideration in hampshas case. That car is still kinda stock when it comes to the motor. Putting out far less then Rhys's and Falkens chassis.

TC... they have gotten more then enough lea-way in my eyes. And the car still doesent perform its moneys worth. Not even a threat in my eyes, kengushi is supposed to be the future.... the future is looking kinda bad.

The problem, from what I hear is the front suspension on the Skyline. It is a little different to get some more angle out of the front. Its the same "type" of suspension, but I think thats where some of the problems are.

There were some complaints from some people. Sorry about all the ambiguity ...names changed to protect the innocent.


From what I hear right now, the car can not run in Las Vegas. Thats what I hear from people in the know.

The way the Formula D rules are written, they cover themselves to "allow" what they want. You can get anything "pre-approved". However there is no list of "pre-approvals". When we ran in World Challenge, there was a list of changes/ modifications that were allowed to the cars to make them competitive. Formula D has nothing like that I see in place.

There are plenty of cars in Formula D with suspension changes and modifications. How many of them are "pre-approved", and how many of them are a nod and a wink... well thats between the chief steward and the teams.

I know that many of a certain type of Nissan have some pickup point modifications on a rear aluminum subframe.

When a car is not competitive, no one notices. However, come in , finish in the top 5 , and hear the screams from coast to coast....

I'm more than certain that sa-drift is reading everything they can read with all this...

The Skyline is NOT fine...I'm not asking, I'm informing.

So what "illegal" mod's did they do to the suspension?

Why do I have a feeling that Autobacs wont be back next year

Attention is being brought to Rule section 8.3.1 of the currently available Formula D rule book. It's online, way at the bottom under General Forms on their website. I'm afraid that Autobacs may not be back, and not only that, but will also be very vocal about why they weren't allowed to race in the only "professional" US series involving drifting.

So...with the mere idea of Autobacs not being able to come out to play, does anyone think that this will negatively impact the growth of drifting in the USA?

[tyndago]

Nothing too crazy in the front. I think the new Import Tuner mentions the mods to the car. Its not tube frame. Its not going from a leaf to IRS or anything weird like that.

Its not a front wheel drive car , converted to rear wheel drive. Somehow OK for the series based on a car that no one in the US has ever seen up close.

Thats what happens when money gets into the mix.

I'm really hoping that Formula D doesn't let this happen.

However even if they fix this..maybe the damage will already be done as far as Autobacs goes.

Which sucks..because the symbolism of Autobacs is really cool
