Official GTP Challenge: NK4E Vs. Mike le chat noir

Contestant 1:
nice lap NK4E
just a few things i want to comment on.
I think I counted 2 or 3 rubs exiting the tunnel section and going onto the back straight (hard to tell, dark car on dark background). I'm not a judge or anything, but I think this definitely cost you a few marks in the control department. I dont mean to offend, but if I were given 2 weeks to release a lap, I'd make sure it were a clean lap. In my opinion, a clean lap with a lesser angle of drift is more impressive than a high angle of drift that bounces off the walls.
Secondly, I think you did a good job of keeping the drift angle fairly large through the first 2 sectors of the lap, but the third sector didnt feel like you put as much into it. This bothered me a bit, because this section contains 2 of the (potentially) longest fastest drifts on the course. It looked like you carried almost no drift through the last corner (might have been the camera angle).
Good Job though, I hope I didnt come off overly harsh.

Contestant 2:
lol nice donuts Mike, i like to see a bit of a sense of humour in these vids occasionally 👍
I think you showed great control. It was most apparent to me around the first hairpin, and through the last 2 corners. You kept the tires just within the outside curbing. In general, your lines were very clean, and made good use of the entire track to setup your drifts. I had to watch the first few seconds of it quite a few times beacuse you were already setting up for turn 1 half way down the front straight. :)
But what impressed me most was your drift angle. Through all your links, and every drift you kept it really really sideways. Love it. This is what definitely set the two videos apart for me.
I'll definitely need a bit more practice with the R32 to keep up with you. That is, if I ever get a capture card to be able to participate in these events.
Very nice video! :D

I may add more as it comes to me, still going to watch them a few more times.
 
I was worried about one linked corner , and I guessed right
Mike. like the music on your video ^_^
 
DANG!! FBI can beat us up in drifting..
Mike... 28 as a score.. all I can say is WOW.... the highest i got was a 26.5 :(
Well I'll watch the videos once i get my cable on monday HEHEHE cait wait to see you guys drift

I need to do a challange to see where I'm at but I'll do it after the PDR Video :)

-TD
 
DR told me about the notice, and I was practicing still making a clean lap and I was worried at the last one, where I linked it but those two corners where my main concern and I knew it was a vital key in winning the match and I saw Mike did a better job than me but oh well, like I said Td it doesn't go against the PDR record
 
NK4E you put up a good match I seen a lot of good drifts in thier all I could say is more angle. that could've put your score up a lot becasue smoke would go up as well with style. Control is what you need to work on as Tankspanker said "In my opinion, a clean lap with a lesser angle of drift is more impressive than a high angle of drift that bounces off the walls." When you can control more then you will be a lot better hope to see you in future videos and see your improvements!
