|  FD or d1 "give your input"
Just curious which do people care for more,
Do more people like d1 or FD and why?
I, myself see drifting as dang, i can't do that ish.
But seems to be big arguments about which is better, is there really a difference? |

Does anyone keep up to date with either Formula D or the Drift 1 Grand Prix? | |

I don't see a difference between them. Scoring and running in pairs is a feature of both are they not? | |

They say you are either a drifter or a drag racer. 
I watch more D1 so I suppose that is the one that does it for me. The drivers are good and it still has a slightly "enthusasts" feel to it. I personally feel that FD is getting too commercial with big players and flashier cars.  | |

I'm a drag racer and sprinter. Racing, as far as I am concerned, is trying to get along or around a course in the quickest possible time. Drifting, therefore, is more of a spectacle than a sport. Pretty to watch but of no real consequence and done by people who can't drive fast
Duck for cover......

Duck for cover...... | I always thought that too. I thought at first that when drifting a corner your shaving time off, but it appears it's just strictly for effects. | |

A fight between the drag racers and the drifters, this would be a good one to settle on a track (one with lots of bends)!
I tend to watch more D1 that FD so I guess my vote is for D1.

"Drift? What's drifting?" | |

No way to settle on the track as sports are so different. D1 is for show and drag is for go

I kind of wish that drift events were more of a race around a track rather than some turns and get points.
It should be winner take all, like Gran Turismo or something like that. | |

Gran Turismo isn't exactly true to life
