its a hard thing to police, the slr mclaren is also extremely fast at drifting. theres no absolute value we can reference from to determine the cars allowed to compete. Hope that made sence.

On another pre-haps we ought to do some testing on the cars before banning any cars.
Is that the spirit of R RX7 or just the RX7s in general as the others appear to be slower

I wish the best of luck to DMAX that they will manage to run it till the end! I have a great respect for you.

I would never forbid the FD, if other drivers are to slow it's not the problem of the FD driver.
There's also no need for a HP limit, more does not cause any better drifting

Yes theres a need of hp limit and car restrictions otherwise I see how this will end up. V8 and V10 all the way and hairpins drifted in 5th (wow). Not to note I smell people going drag race if there's no rolling start.

I drifted Fujis hairpin in 5th because I have a very short gearing and the turn is fast... Why V8 vs V10 only? FD is rotary and ALOT of people don't use these super cars as we have seen in vDc
 
Any way or the other 600hp is enough and I can take your argument backwards and say that if you're unable to drift with less than your so so 750hp ZR1, then it's not the problem of the person that organize (I'm not saying that it's the fact).
Those rules are here to even the competition.

On a side note big hp are what made D1 boring, now it's all about who will have the biggest numbers, Kumakubo switched to his 1000hp Laurel because he HAD to to stay in the crowd but he's not liking it either.

Ps : I wasn't aiming particularly at you, you're not the only that use such (overkill) cars. As I said that rule is here to even the comp and 600hp is already a lot. Forza community have the same rule for their comp (on the official forum), 550hp cap S700 class and sport soft tires (tires are different in fm).

Ok I get what you mean. The HP rule could make sense but the FD should be allowed, wouldn't be fair for the FD freaks.

I personally have no problem with 600HP but I can imagine how some people will get a shock because the are used to their 1000HP Vipers harhar
 
Well I never tried the FD other than in stock form so I don't know why its banned. But FD freaks can take the cheaper FD (not the Spirit R).

The handling is totally different my friend ;) btw. I read the topic at speedhunters about kumakubo and his laurel and I'm surprised why he doesn't just try to get more out of the Evo...
 
1000hp out of the 4B11T, I doubt its possible to achieve that without having to overhaul the engine after each run lol. And he'd still lack of torque. And since he switched to Evo's he "sucked" anyway, he had far better results with the subbies (the period when he was at its top level).
I don't know how people like Kawabata or Hibino will do for that season and the next one because theres some tracks where they'll be in struggle to stay in the pack (Fuji for example).
Kumakubo took the Laurel and put an RB26 in it because it has the potential to make big power "easily". Turbocharged straight 6 are the V8 of D1GP.
 
Willfred, Street cars only lol

Ok guys get on topic here :)

As for the reason behind the ban of the RX7 Spirit R which it is, they are very fast with the bends and even with a stock suspension setup will pull a huge gap from anyone!!

On the note of the horsepower limit, this will restrict people using cars such as A 1000Bhp Viper ACR and so on and so forth which in my opinion just ruin the competition. I'm going for the ability of tandem drifting from you guys not who can get A bigger gap.

Also I was looking to restrict the cars at the higher end of the power bracket with Aerodynamic parts such as big Spoilers. the Chevrolet corvette Z06/ZR1 are pretty even when it comes down to drifting speeds until you add a ridiculous spoiler on the the back of it. This ofcourse guys is easilly policed in such a competition :). POWER ISN'T EVERYTHING!!

Now refering to the D-max Driver/Judge run, there will be more than just d-max judges! HMSmotorsport I hope will be a judge if he isn't up to competing and as some of you know, he has real life experience of this and in no-way is biased!. The organisation is not complete and when the final list of drivers is up, the judges will be announced at the same time :)
