XTREME DRIFT CIRCUIT, PRO-AM Series

[Bebop]

CA twice- loving it. Still wonder whose going to be driving in it.

Same americans that drove in D1gp last year, they have already contacted some of the higher ranking american drivers in the series from last year to provided shipping on their rig.

i would assume its amature drivers trying to go pro...seeing as its a pro-am series.


what higher american drivers???
forrest wang??
russell walker?

[Bebop]

Chelsea Denofa has stated on another forum he was contacted by the organizers with a offer on transportation

I'm sure others were contacted as well

i cant see alot of the pro-am drivers who are already licensed for formula D running this. most of the guys i talked to at pro-am told me they are going to run Formula D as much as they can

[socalwrench]

+1

Exactly, all of the Pro Am drivers I talked to where mainly concerned with getting their Formula D license; to run in that series.

Eventually we will find out whose competing, and how well the series will be handled.

[Bebop]

honestly... why such a need for big name drivers.

the big time drivers now were nobodys 4 years ago

I honestly would like to see some grassroot talent from japan come out, theres alot of guys over there who have much skill who want to drive in america

[deadpirate]

well...considering that its a PRO-AM series..we wont get big names in it..and i highly doubt any jdm grassroots guys will come all the way over here for a PRO-AM event.


why the need to make this thing bigger than what it is?? its a competition series for PRO-AM drivers to go to PRO-AM Nationals and get their PRO license

[Bebop]

Because deep down inside i see this as a opportunity for this series to capitlize on things that FDs lacks.

Yaz Kondo, good grassroots driver from japan that competes in america.

You'll be suprised how many drivers in japan who would like to compete in america, pros and grassroot level alike.

Build it (and translate it) and they will come.

I just hope that XDC doesn't try to price their ticket like a pro level ticket, and that the drivers are given fair play in the media.

1 of those aspects can fully be controlled by XDC, the other will need the help of others.

[Bebop]

I'm willing to pay 20 bucks for a good show

no 8$ sodas though

[deadpirate]

if the XDC sucks media wise..i will always be there to drop a decent video

Any word for an announcement for a schedule and official rulebook? I'm still planning on building to the FD ProAm book, but would be nice to know of any changes or differences (like, being able to use more budget friendly Kirkey aluminum seats, for example **HINT HINT**).

[Bebop]

i rather sit on a milk crate then one of those

I had a ultrashield in my spec miata, fellt like crap lol. Especialy after many laps, buy a status FIA seat.
