Going to supply me with a car and yeah I'll have crack

Ive been watching D1 since 2004 was pit crewing for my friend who is still competing now since 2005 and IMO it still seems to be the same few winning and taking all the sponsors money

Some of the best driver from New Zealand don't even bother competing anymore I wonder why that is?

by **GTTpower** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:48 pm

Isn't that the point of a competition, to win.
Maybe its about regulation, pretty sure the MSC do something like that for their's. Though it kinda defeats the purpose of it being a 'national championship' ie. the best driver/equipment.

D1NZ rookie seems to be where all the action is.

Or just a laid back day of no competition, just people out there having fun - those are the days that are great for spectating

by **tsoob** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:48 pm

yep.. Id say its they keep winning cos they are the best

are you going to work an attack on tricky into this too somehow?

Might be, friend said he'd shout me a ticket/entry if he can borrow my car lift and workshop on sunday for skids and maintenance. I'm keen.

id say they keep winning cuz the judges likt them the best. you should see it when D1 comes to CHCH, its a bloody joke. SI guys CLEARLY win but no its GAZ who goes through or the fact mad mike got to go in every qualifying group etc etc. D1 is the most biased comp out there by miles

Well, what do you expect in a "sport" thats judged?

by **328FTW** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:03 pm

Who cares who wins, you can pick your own favourite. I personally don't like Mad Mike at all but whatever. The same guys always win the rally events I do so I should just stop competing and furthering my skillset right?

Now now, Warwick. Each to their own

by **Mr Revhead** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:32 pm

Hey, I wasn't trolling, just pointing out that it's judged. So there is no clear winner. The judges decide.

by **Stu-** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:42 pm

Actually thought the judges were less biased than they've been in ages

Rally is timed so the stop watch tells who wins.

Imagine rallying, but where someone chooses who wins by how fast they looked like they were going
and no timing devices were used.

Never been at a competitive drift event long enough to watch and see who wins.
