Drift Photo Competition: Week 1

Great idea for a thread. I could go off an how the drama in this thread is emblematic of the general misunderstanding of the drifting phenomenon in the U.S. but I won't.

Having said that I took it upon myself to try to fake a drift pic. I did two pics of the same car, on the same track, similar angles to look for telltale signs of falsity. I think the results are pretty obvious.

Tire smoke in the real pic, tire tread visible in the fake, the suspension stressed unevely in the fake, and in my case the fake one has an decent line (I'm a GT drift NOOB).

I think if someone has the ability to fake these things with photo-shop just to win a silly contest that has no real prize on an internet forum, more power to them. For me I'll just keep tweeking the old GT-B. I'll get her to drift roght one of these days.
 
Can you please extend the submission deadline? I can't get my USB thumb drive till at least the 20th. I have some really excellent pics that I know all of you would love or hate. I'm being serious.

I withdraw. As a drifter, I can't stand 90% of my own kind. :indiff:

You people are complicating the **** out of the simplest to understand thread I can imagine ever being posted in the history of GTP. Have fun bickering, and thanks for ruining what could have been a fun contest for me. :ouch:
Your not alone :yuck:
 
Most people are thinking it's a drifting photo competition because that's what it is titled. Not to mention it's in the drifting section. Change the name of the title just Photo Competition and i think that'll solve that problem.

I was thinking about doing some pictures for this comp myself, but some os the submissions are probably 100x better than my best photo =p
 
Heres mine:

My pics are coming soon, but i have an idea. Why not make it a specific turn on a specific track for next week, rather than just a specific track. This way it forces people to be more creative??? EHHH weee no, weee no!!!

LOL!! I think the quadruple post is the nail in the coffin!

That was because of some kind of error on the system last night (notice it says he has 1 post, even though there are four on the screen???) Same thing happened to me...
