PISSED! (edit)
FUUUUCK! Ok, so I'm watching the final round of the FormulaD Championship. Now, as far as points, the order goes:
1) Rhys Millen
2) Samuel Hubinette
3) Ken Gushi
4) DAIJIRO YOSHIHARA
So, I'm watching it, knowing damn well that Rhys is gonna win, whatever. But I also thought, hey, Dai could still place. Well, as I'm watching to see who qualified, they show Dai during the qualification round and stated that he made it to the round of 16. But I noticed his car was a different color. I was all upset cuz I liked it the way it was, but I got over it. So, the time comes for him to drift. Listen to this shit. So they were like, "Dai is in the run for placement, but he may find it difficult in his back-up car." My jaw DROPPED! First off, Dai drives a Silvia s-13. SILVIA. That means, the Japanese version of the 240SX. Problems:
1) His regular car's engine failed
2) He's driving a car he's not used to
3) It's an American car. Meaning, he's now on the left side of the car. Holy shit.
4) He's up against Bubba Drift. The only automatic drifter in the competition, also the slowest.
Long story short, Dai lost. Meaning, he was totally disqualified. MEANING, no chance at the trophy. I'm SOOOO upset right now. Well, back to the show. *sigh* This fucking sucks! Oh, and I think I may return to school after I graduate to get a degree in Engineering. Maybe pick up drifting myself, or even just sponsor a team. :)
*EDIT*
Ok, I'm SO fucking pissed. I just watched the run between Sam and Ken, 2nd and 3rd place drifters from the past rounds (see above). Ok, so, they run their first round. Judges call one more time. So, the first run of the second round, Sam leads. He was fast, but his angle wasn't all that fancy. Then second, Ken started leading. Now, even in the first round, Sam kept a straight line almost the entire time, just trying, I assume, to overtake Ken in drift. Now the second run, the same thing happened again. Ken was leading, and Sam was straight almost the ENTIRE time. Now, I understand that Ken's 8 CYLINDER Mustang is slower than Sam's beast of a Viper, but seriously, he didn't have to be all up on Ken's ass. And I mean, even the commentator was like, "Sam, you have to DRIFT in a drifting competition!" Ok, so, if HE can see it, why can't the judges?! WHY?! Fucking GRRRR! I'm so pissed off. They must be high on tire smoke!!
