and what reason do you have for posting this?

 

[Shigegaki]

Well because yourself as well as others don't follow using decent grammar and proper usage of capital letters. You could always have a moderator come in and warn you. But I was just being nice, and reminding all in this thread to follow the AUP.

is life that boring for you that you want to nitpick about capital letters.

really though contribute to the thread or please don't post here at all please.

Interesting, I will let Jordan and his staff deal with this one.

One, you don't get to tell people whether they can post or not regardless of the circumstance.

Two, his advice to you was sound; you agreed to the AUP and all it entails. So we'd expect you to adhere to it and stay true to your word. It's not difficult to use proper grammar to the best of your ability, or even to just use proper capitalization.

We have standards here. You agreed to those standards. So we expect you (and everyone else) to keep the standard high.

It's like Nazi Germany in here. That's what they're trying to say.

Is it really?

 

[devintheninja]

I would like to bump this back up to the top for all the new drifters springing up all of a sudden. It is good relevent info for everyone

Also, this year the judges in Formula Drift are allowing the following car to take a slightly shallower line if it's needed in order to gain proximity. This due to proximity being one of the main things being judged this year. Unlike last season, where it mattered less, they are focusing more on proximity in the driver meetings.

You guys arue over some dumb 🤬 sometimes. I think it is the host over the rooms choice how they wanna run there comp and it's your choice to run it or to leave so why nit pick there comps and there rules just run it or not

Some of you guys must have pretty sad lives that you have nothing better to do do house cleaning around the forums.

I've read Nk4e's stickied thread, and while it is very good, it is not perfect. To me, he uses a combination of FD and D1 rules...which makes them GTP rules...and I'm sorry, no one follows GTP rules in comp lobbies...they follow FD or D1. When you enter an open lobby that has something to do with a comp, one of the first questions asked is "what rules are you using"...to which the response is FD or D1...not "check Nk4e's thread on GTP".

I think it is a great idea to have this thread here (perhaps stickied at the top of teams and meets), as it is a useful reference for both new and old drifters. A discussion of these rules comes up in almost every single drift comp thread. This thread helped me out by answering some question I had about the differences between the two different series.

You want to feel like you've accomplished something by moving this to the Motorsport thread...ok. Move it there, and I can almost promise you it will never get looked at again. The GT5 drifting forum is the only place on GTP where drifting is discussed at any length.

I really dot understand the need for people around here to police these forums. How is this thread being here hurting you in any way, shape, or form? It's not repetitive drivel like most ofthe threads around here. It's well written, and informative. Devin spent a lot of his own time writing that up, in an attempt to make a helpful, constructive contribution to the GT5 GTP drift community, and all you guys can do is stick your nose up at it, and say "it doesn't belong on my forums /cry".

@devin, my solution to the cry babies would be to simply change the name of the thread to something like "FD and D1 rules explained for use in GT5 drift comps". Anyways, haters gonna hate...don't let the negative nancies get you down, keep up the good work, and keep constructively contributing to the drift community, as opposed to some of the people who do nothing but troll and complain.

/rant over

RIGHT ON TWITCH!!!

You dont get what im trying to get at here. This is for those people that say they know the D1 and FD rules, because all of the online comps are closely based off of these set rules. This is to educate people THAT IS ALL

Sorry bud, wrong section and it doesn't serve too much of a purpose.

EDIT: Also after clicking your sources I realized that the links are old. You should go to the official website and use the actual information from the handbooks. 👎

Yeah I Mean.. Those Links Are For 2003... D1GP Rules Are Way Diferent That D1gp USA

👍 At least now I know that I'm not the only one that thinks like this. I've tried saying this in other threads but it almost never works. So sad...
