Drifting Can Kill Racing


The history of Drifting
It is difficult to say exactly when the engine began as a sport is an accredited Kunimitsu Takahashi, using new techniques in the 1970s. His ability, his rear tire from slipping over in his front tire of saying it can to corners far faster than any other on the road. Particular attention Street Racer "Keiichi Tsuchiya has adapted these techniques and on the winding mountain road in Japan, quickly caught on the road with racing public. Several magazines publish articles and interviews again in the late 80s. It was, as they say Down Hill all this

Although drift flew like wild fire in Japan, it took much longer for acceptance in other nations of petrol-head, derives from the first event outside of Japan was in 1996, at the Willow Springs Raceway in California.

The idea behind is drifting, drag in the car and a corner, a good drift is considered, if the rear of the car Slip angle is greater than the angle before slipping, while the Originally, it was done almost around the corners faster than the competition, it drifts, today it is not possible, racing cars. This is mainly because, if you need space, all the more spectacular as possible, so that more later more speed and angle more earth-say moments comfortable. Unfortunately, this is not the fastest, around a track.

Drifting is also know as most other categories of racing, it soon on fishing, like so many other extreme sports. As more and more sponsors to get their money in sport, we can expect to see more and more events around the world, it is only a matter of time, to drift racing series .

The death of courses --
The way I see it is that the race has a lot of money behind, coupled with the speed, it can be very difficult to install a driver for another driver, without burning wreckage, while Faster is increasingly not do much for spectators and, like all sports, where the spectators leave also sponsors and television rights and other sources of money.

While this may be many years, I do not see how the big races such as F1 can compete, there is almost no greater than at the time of writing this article, and it makes for better display annoying more than a few times in this year, I asked why I spent an afternoon, just a race where no race, and I wonder who the contact, afternoon for my return.

As drift in the main bords, and other sports going on, I expect that the huge, we will see a move in the immediate satisfaction, which amount to the front around the world, a very good example is the Internet. Humans are used for what they want almost immediately, not waiting for messages on television, not need money for shopping, information available 24 / 7 if anything.

The same is true for our entertainment, I would rather spend 2 more hours to hold, as expected after a race where I know who won the first time at the age of instant satisfaction and it is to hurt the old school heads engine, at least in my humble opinion.
