I think the tell tale differences in US style vs Japan style drifting say a lot.

US: more high speed, high power, a lot of smoke and about dominating your competition.

Japan: less smoky, not always about power and but often more technical

Post your fave videos that showcase each country's style

A personal fave ---> Team Burst from Japan

I agree somewhat.
The japanese can tandem like no tomorrow.

Our FD tracks are lame too... We need the Amurrican equivalent of Ebisu.

TheFlash42 · 06-27-2011, 07:59 AM

I can think of no one better than a rich white man from Coatesville to build it.

evomike · 06-27-2011, 09:02 AM

Ummm j style is way faster and the biggest difference is they go for it every run it's either awesome or complete garbage.

When I was at Formula D I noticed all of the American drivers use the e-brake to initiate a slide, whereas the one japanese dude didnt. It really threw off the guy behind him when he was leading during tandem.

Not at all, just his preference.

I think some of the coolest drifting is days at ebisu with a bunch of missiles scraping walls and going crazy.

I only made it there for the top 16 when I went, but Daijiro was the only one of those 16 that didnt.

OBEEWON · 07-14-2011, 09:41 AM

Angle kits are slowing drifting down.

stover · 07-30-2011, 05:57 AM
