"Hey, so what's the difference between drifting in the States and drifting in Japan?"

"Well, you see, here in the states people drift with horsepower. In Japan, they do it with balls."

Because using less horsepower and easier to control cars requires more balls? USA does it with balls, Japan does it with skill.

Yeah well mustangs drive like crap and take balls to drive when it’s convenient to say as an insult, they are overpowered and take no skill to drive when that’s convenient as an insult. For example is the zr1 better or worse than the r35 because it only has a manual and takes skill to drive? If you mean it as a compliment then people will campion anyone being able to be fast in it and the auto being apart of it’s superior tech. Now if a car is harder to drive it’s the better car? Then if they see an affordable powerful mustang they say it’s crap when it’s better built and faster straight and on track than all euro and jdm cars in the same price range. Tanner has skill and like everyone else he learned in a slow car but now pretty conveniently, he’s bad because he puts on a show.

Completely different scoring systems. In D1 they got sensors, that measure angle, speed, etc, but judges still have a word. You also got rules for car builds in D1, so there’s nobody with 1000hp monsters. FD USA is much more of a show in my opinion, with judges giving their verdicts. No rules for car builders also. So you can have 650hp, or 1200, nobody cares. As far as skill level go I think you can’t compare really, they are all great professionals. Daigo Saito competes in both series btw.
