Why do you love drifting?
I love drifting for the sensation that it brings. It’s fun and exciting to watch the different personal styles of each driver. Now, when you’re actually driving, it gives you a feeling of being free, like your flying (especially with top down and windows; i drive a miata). What i also love about drifting is that is well diverse, anyone and everyone can enjoy it.
Who is your favorite driver and why is that driver your favorite?
If you mean favorite driver of ALL TIME… well then, that’s Benson Hsu. Whenever i heard of drifting Benson’s name would come up even when someone would bring up the old speedtrial events. His sileighty is still one of my favorite cars to date. Anyways, he is my favorite driver of all time due to his Style of driving. His style is smooth, and very technical. His lines are consistent. His runs are clean and again smooth. It’s hard to explain, but if you’ve seen his driving you would understand.

Great opportunity, to bad I can’t make this event! More like this soon?
Why do you love drifting, who is your favorite driver and why is that driver your favorite?
I love drifting because of the technique and skill involved. The drivers are pushed to their limits that not only makes their drifting better but their driving in general. It’s most evident in guys like Tanner Foust and Tyler McQuarrie who race in other motorsport disciplines. My favorite driver would have to be Tyler McQuarrie because he can race and win in other racing series. His win in Long Beach back in April for the World Challenge series was inspiring to say the least. It shows that constantly pushing your limits in drifting will raise your limits in other areas of your driving.
I like drifting because i like to watch the smoke pour from the tires and the high speed action.
My favorite driver is Vaughn Gittin Jr. because the ford mustangs are the best and he is the best and coolest driver out there.
I was introduced to drifting by my 14 year old son and have been hooked ever since. I love the speed, the sound and the obvious technique and talent that te drivers have that is differen from any othe style of car racing that I have seen.
My favortie driver who I have met and have been following is Vaughn Giffin Jr. he is trult a master at this and has great talent.
Why do you love drifting?
The reason why i love drifting is that its not like anything i see around here in michigan, everyone either wants to drag race or race on a oval track
Who is your favorite driver?
My favorite driver is Vaughn Gitten Jr.
Why is that driver your favorite?
The reason why Vaughn gitten Jr. is my favorite driver is that hes driving my favorite car and i love his sponsers.
1. Why do you love drifting? I would have to say i love drifting because i thoroughly enjoy the feeling of being in a car that looks like its out of control,yet at the same time is in total control,and not to mention i enjoy the crowd of people in the drifting community,and i enjoy the rush as i push a car to its limits while its sideways in a corner and burning the tires thus creating a massive yet awesome smokeshow,as well as the adrenaline overload and smell of burnt rubber that goes along with this extreme motorsport
2.Who is your favorite driver? Vaughn Gittin Jr.
3.Why is that driver your favorite? Vaughn Gittin Jr. is my favorite driver due to his all out, no limit, balls to the walls style like mine, and the fact that he is successful in a sport that was created with tuners,while driving a muscle car,and not to mention the fact that he is a good all around guy and because he is always consistent……and i love his car
Why do you love drifting?
I like drifting because is different. I am someone who goes to a race track and drives it. Normal racing you are trying to prevent sliding around, but that is the main goal of drifting. Plus it is really fun to watch.
Who is your favorite driver?
My favorite driver is Vaughn Gittin Jr.
Why is that driver your favorite?
He is my favorite because it seems like he makes himself more well known. He has been on tv shows (rob dyrdek fantasy factory.) Also i am a big mustang fan.
I like drifting because it shows true talent. Anybody can push a pedal, but not everybody can keep a car sideways and in control.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. is most deffinately my favorite drifter. He is smooth, fearless, and a real down to earth guy.
Why do i love drifting, its the combination that it provides. There is the power and chaos form the internal combostion engine throwing out all the power it can and bending the tires to its will. Then there is the skill and pin point percision of the driver harnessing that power and chaos into a harmonious blend of tire smoke and noise. I also love the grass roots of it, any person with some skill and a rear wheel drive car can go and do it (to some extent and under legal situations…). It is not like other motor sports where only the high dollar people can play.
As for my favorite driver and why, It has to be Vaughn Gittin Jr. I love his all out (but not reckless) style. He is the epitome of the controling the chaos factor i mentioned earlier. He has that loud bellowing V8 that seems to want to just put the car in a spin every corner, yet every corner he manages to hold that beautiful 2011 Mustang just on the very edge of grip to give the best possible run. Plus, he just seems like a nice guy, I have meet him and a few other FD drivers, and he seemed the most willing to talk to the fans and takes pictures. He knows that the fans are what helpped to bring this sport to where it is, and he hasn’t forgoten that.
Why do you love drifting?
I love drifting because it is power, skill and total awesomeness wrapped up into one amazing sport.
Who is your favorite driver, and why is that driver your favorite?
Vaughn Gittin Jr. is my favorite driver because he is the one that got me interested in drifting, and he is amazing at what he does (destroy Falken Tires) and i want to learn from and be as great as him someday. And that fact that he drives my favorite car of all time, the mustang, makes it even better. If i ever got to meet, or even just see him perform would be totally incredible.
Why do you love drifting?
It all started because of initial D. That Japanese anime is quite popular among Asian kids, even though it’s old now, I still watch my DVDs from time to time. I’ve never seen a real drifting in person, I got goosebumps when I saw it on TV for the 1st time. I really wanna see it in person to feel the difference.
Who is your favorite driver and why is that driver your favorite?”
Daijiro Yoshihara – Because he works really hard and he is pretty awesome and he has most inspiring smile.
It takes heart and soul for a real driver to learn the limits of their car and to be able to learn how to push those limits until both the driver and car are one with the road. The skill involved in drifting is one not so easily learned. The dedication of ones time to learn how to make the car look as if it is waltzing across the asphalt is not as easily attainable as just pressing the pedal to the metal. The moment the car breaks loose and is sliding along the pavement is the moment the car and driver truly become one. No other driving style can provide that connection between car and driver and that is why I love the art of drifting so much.
Chris forsberg is my favorite driver. His down to earth personality and grass roots upbringing make Chris a great role model to look up to in the drifting world for amateur drivers. His high speed precision driving, effortless style and passion for the sport make him a great inspiration to many future drifters.
Why do I love drifting? There are so many different reasons! Since being introduced to this form of racing through video games a few years back, to seeing Vaughn Gittin Jr. perform live at the Mid-America Ford and Shelby Meet in Tulsa, OK, I have been hooked since the first time I saw it. I was originally a die-hard drag racer, and loved it for a while but it got boring. Dumping $10k into a car to run it hard for less than 15 sec. at a time just got dull. Then I tried road racing, which is a lot more fun, but still leaves something more to be wanted. The exhillaration of watching a pro drifter is second to none, and while it looks cool on TV, nothing can compare you for seeing it live!
Who is my favorite drifter? Vaughn Gittin Jr. of course! While drifting has been around in Japan for decades, I have only been watching for a few years, but even when he first came out with a S197 Mustang GT sponsored by Falken, I knew he was one to watch. After winning the drift championship, it made him even more cool to watch. Then, when I met him in person this past June in Tulsa, it solidified him as one of my favorite drifters, and racers too. He has a great atmosphere about him, real cool to be around, and his talent is just amazing.
Why do i love Drifting?
i love drifting because of the compitition and the way that you can make a car that is basically out of controll do exactly what you want at the angle and speed you want it. Also how its like no other racing out there it is the best. Plus the feeling that you get when you are in the driver seat doing it your self is like no other takes alot of discipline.
Who is your favorit driver and why?
My favorit driver would have to be Tanner Foust, The way he drives the angle and speed that he goes is insane. Sure he had alot of experiance through rally cross but this is a different ball park and he does very well would love to see an actual formula Drift event with him in it never seen one in person before.
I love drifting because it is exciting in a way that when you are doing it or even around it everything else just fades away. It’s a sport that test both driver and car, but no matter what the skill level or equiptment it is still fun. My favorite driver is Joon Maeng. He puts everything he has into being the best driver he can, and he does it for the sport and his fans. Not only that, but he would give anyone the shirt off his back or the food off his plate to anyone in need. For so doing his fans love him.
i love drifting for the simple fact that it brings something that once was takin as an act of stupidity to something that is greatly appreciated. i would have to say i really dont have a favorite driver only because i love the sport as having fun with friends and the love to compete. Formula d has made me love and appreciate the art of drifting
Why do you love drifting?
I love drifting because of the passion and dedication that goes into it.The grassroots of it from hearing story’s of drifters following their dreams to be able to drift.I love how its one of the only motor sports that doesn’t take much to get started.The roaring engine in 3rd gear is what gets it exciting.Those moments when there close to hitting the wall and then they hit the gas and zoom right out of the turn.The way the car seems to be gliding across the ground with the tail whipped out all the way.With a line of smoke following behind, the smell of burnt tire smells good.Especially when they get those fast entry speeds to hear the engine and the power.Drifting keeps evolving, drifters challenging themselves,its how they now get all four tires off the ground.Seeing videos from japan on what they got going on right now is crazy alot of skill with tracks designed for drifting.I love the cars that are apart of drifting the heart that goes into building a car.The beauty of a full built car is amazing and even better when they crack it loose going sideways.
who is your favorite driver and
why is that driver your favorite?
My favorite driver is Daijiro Yoshihara in his S13 240sx.I see him as the best drifter giving it his all to try to be at the top.He followed his dreams and left Tokyo to become a professional drifter in the US.Which gives hope to the grassroots drifters that if you stick to it you can accomplish your dreams.I see his style of drifting nice and smooth with speed and power.He seems to do it with such ease making it look easy.I like his 240 because that is what most start off with but he took it to a whole other level with his v8 engine,body kit and full built.Watching videos of him in action inside his car is crazy from pulling that e brake and switching gears in a split second.He has really shown what he could do this year. Its amazing to see in person when Dai competes against another driver he sticks to them and gives great angle sliding across so slick.
I’d soooo love to win these tickets my son is participating at Irwindale 10/9. He and his fiance changed there wedding date to 10/3/10, they were to marry10/10/10. It was a nobrainer. They had to go .wouldnt it be fabulous to win these tickets and they could celebrate at an event, after all he proposed to his fiance at a drift event 1 year ago, he and his soon to be fiance were doing a run when he stopped the car abruptly and told her to get out something was wrong with the car,I might add a few minutes prior to this a hyundai genesis was up in flames! They were out of the car and he told her to look beneath the car, they were both on their knees with helmets on and he got on one knee and propsed it was so awesome she was totally blown away, she had’nt a clue he was going to propose! And she said yes so their courtship and soon to be marriage is all about peace, love and SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great wedding gift to 2 deserving Drifters!
