:lol: I'm in ALL the series. Apparently, the battle is Saturday? I still haven't heard back from Rotary, I don't think.

yeah, well anyway, you gotta keep concentrated while drifting and making sure your line is perfect! :sly:

I'll do my best. I don't have the same speed as everyone else, but I can hold clipping points well, inside or out, and ensure that the car's got angle the entire way around. I practice my transitions more than my lines, and my initiations more than my speed. I try to get a smooth drift, before worrying about speed. The lines just come naturally with good car control. :)

I do enjoy having a variety of colours, though. We could do "themed-shots," in photo mode, where all 10 of us drive a black car, and tandem as well as possible...



Or, we could all sign up for a main "competition car" and take a photo of all 10 of them, together, at Top Gear Test Track, along the runway, with 1 guy in the first row (ROTARY) three in the second row (division leaders??) and six in the third row (the rest.)



Right now, I'm rocking "Molly" the black R32 GTS-t Type M from Initial D, named after Molly Quinn.

I just joined a D1 Comp. lobby by OsakaHQ, and had some good fun afterwards. I watched the finals, and the guys in the finals seemed to have similar technique to me. I'm really feeling good about this challenge now. :)


After watching the finals, we ended up going to some new tracks and things. I am considering battling at an obscure track, so that it comes down more to talent than practice, because I haven't been practicing much, but I have a good feeling. :)



Anyways, I'm feeling good about the challenge. I'm slowly building up some reputation with some guys. Anyways, just telling you guys that I'll put up a fight this weekend, and perhaps (possibly/probably) win. I just haven't seen the competition.

Just a quick question, though: if someone on the team, for example, steps out-of-bounds, proverbially, and has the same problems that some other drifting teams are having, what will be the course of action? Will you be willing and ready to forcefully remove anyone, who doesn't follow expectations, from the team?



I'm asking this, sincerely, just to know what our course of action for intra-team discipline is, between stern warnings etc., because I am looking for a decently mature experience here, and I don't want to have to put up with people who, for example, don't follow the GTP AUP. I know that you and ROTARY are the current leaders of this team, and I know most of the drivers on the team are good guys, but I just want to be sure.


I've spoken with most, drifted with some (ProShoots, at least) and generally seen a positive atmosphere, on this team, and I'm proud of it. But, just in case there's that one :ouch: person who bugs everyone or such...
 
id say give them a warning, and if it continues then just remove them?
As with the challenge, what do you think my AE86 would be like?
Its not terribly quick, but i may need to steal you tune, im having an insane time trying to get it to step out nicely -____- Atm i can only do 2,3,4th gear drifting, and judging by a r33 with awd, im going to need top :D

yeah, i will give warnings, and im not afraid to kick out anyone who is just messing around and messing everybody else up on the team.
 
For the shot, i say we all line up like you say and take a picture like that. That would be sick, and im rockin' my AE86, cause i love that car :)

As for the AE86, I like the agility of the lightweight chassis. Every input you make is so immediate, it's pretty hard to get caught out by a different (AWD) line, but the AE86 might not have the speed on a small tight track. I'm not sure if it gets enough grip, compared to an R33, to hold out against it. It really depends on which track we run.


Anyways, as for being this specific about strategies and such, (preparations) let's keep it in PMs, so that the R33 guy(s) don't know which cars we're actually bringing.
 
Shortest actual quote EVER! :lol:



Anyways, if we do a team photo, I say we all grab our favourite cars, for their appearance, and limit it to FR drift cars. I don't think many people on this team are really into AWD drifting, though we don't have anything against it, and will compete against AWD drifters.


It's an idea, of how we could start to build a bit of "recognizability" within the team; everyone COULD get a specific colour, perhaps, or something similar, and sorta stick with the FR drift car "family" of RX-7s, Silvias, Skyline GTSs, 180SXs etc. That way, if we see a car of a certain colour, we know who it is.



Let's toss some ideas around.
 
Whats up Team Redline,Im just asking an making sure,One of your members Proshoots did he tell you that hes in OsakaHQ?I dont know whats goin on,But if any of you have Proshoots can you tell him,Hes out OsakaHQ.Sorry but i had to let you guys know.If the leader of Team Redline wants to know more PM me,An ive seen alot of you in open rooms i think Team Redline is goin to be a really good team,An if you guys want to have some good tandem action join are rooms,Or add me,But good work hope to drift with you guys soon.
