Formula D on ESPN
Caught a bit of this year’s Formula D coverage on ESPN this past weekend and it’s good to see drifting on more basic cable channels (rather than Speed TV or G4). The coverage looked pretty good, but I’m not so much into the whole lifestyle aspect of promoting the mad phat JDM tyte lyfestyle yo! Why do they keep doing that with drifting and import cars? The typical drifter lifestyle I know is more like eating $0.10 ramen noodles 3 times a day, and falling into massive credit card debt to fund a hobby.
For the guys producing the show, keep it coming. Tone down the lifestyle aspect unless it’s to introduce cool new electronic products, parts, and clothing. I’m guessing things that would be of interest for drifters to see featured on the show would be stories of privateer guys trying to make it in the big leagues, budget breakdowns for competing at local and national levels, drifting related video games and website reviews, and chicks.
