DMCC 2009

Samson, while i agree with you on the point that the level of skill in DMCC doesnt warrant a speration between professional and amateur, you have to remember, most of the track layouts for dmcc are extremely high speed. I would make the argument that its a different style of drifting relative to what we’re normally used too at TMP. Basically every run is like attacking corner 0 on SMP and then linking from that into the final 3 corners. DMCC has pretty difficult track layouts.
edit: That being said though, dmcc round 4 was disappointing when organizers didnt let amateurs try the pro-layout. I was interested to see how stock cars would attak the layout.
I would like to see more competitions held, maybe at the end of every D-ops or PC track day. While that wont elevate coverage of drifting to a level where easily accessible by the public, i still think it would help build a competitive “community”.

Well from what I’ve seen at downsview, it’s pretty sad. Downsview is high speed while entering the first corner but the middle sections at last years event were definitely slower than what we normally see on SMP. Also in 2007, that track layout wasn’t incredible high speed either.

Remember Jesse? He ran the PRO course and fukn KILLED it with his mild setup ka-t while sponsored and “professional drivers” couldn’t even drift the first freakin corner and spin out.

As I said, I’m only basing my opinions on what I’ve seen at both years at downsview. I know DMCC mostly runs on oval high speed tracks but if you can’t do medium speed downsview, then those “professional” drivers should re-evaluate their skill level.

PS: Jon Lapada killed the 2008 layout although they didn’t let the amateurs do the long stretch at the back, but he still rocked that course.

Here is proof right here!!! Fast Forward to 4min flat.
