Have people to cheer for. Crowds love to cheer for the underdog. 70% of the drivers in DMCC can be beat by Ontario’s finest drivers imo. Being a “Professional” drifter in Ontario is just all about who has the money to build the sickest car. I wonder how many DMCC professionals would pass the Formula Drift or D1GP tests. Anyone that can decently go sideways and has money/car can enter into DMCC. I may be wrong, but from what I’ve seen in the last 2 years at downsview is a joke. SO many drivers just lack plain skill and it’s sad to see them be called Professionals. > > What we lack in Ontario or even Canada is the skill…it’s as basic as that. we are lacking skill, but what we need is a drifting expo like hin etc so more ppl unserstand it. i love watching the am’s kill it.
