I've voted yes, but why can't i vote yes and not participate.

I think F1 is motorsport but i don't intend on participating in that either.

ETA - can you change the answers to a simple yes, no or unsure. otherwise it isn't really fair, you've gave no option for people who just want to say yes?

Why haven't you just done "Yes or No".

I do think it is a motorsport, and will go along to a DWYB day, but I'm not going to be competing in the BDC.

[superkartracer]

Changed just to make it fair, sorry

[Munter]

Lets see:
Competition? Yes. So it's a sport.
Motor involved? Yes. So it's a motorsport.

Is drifting a motorsport? Well ... obviously.

Just "unsure" will do, by adding "it's just a display" you're trying to sway a vote. OR add "it's a sport using a motorcar " to the Yes option.

Really don't want to lose this do you.

[llewop]

Yes, but in the same way syncronised swimming or something like freestyle snowboarding - a bit odd, but each to their own!

Why is he a Troll? Explain

[Pints]

It involves results which can be measured.
It uses motorcars.

I voted yes.

What is there to keep an open mind about?

[Mini1275]

I'm not sure he's a troll, a self obsessed dick on the other hand .

Go read the other drifting thread. An unbelievable display of pig headed arrogance from daddy's little prince.

As MD says, see the other thread.

Apparently 15grand is "snotter money" for a car, and he went from being "on da streets blud" to "owning the first evo 5 in the uk" by 22. Now at 30 has a lambo for his DD, and often drives better than F1 drivers.

As well as making various other snide/ish remarks

[superkartracer]

Feel free to check the thread and my posts...

15k is not much money for a *dream car* and stand by that statement sorry ( it's a fair amount for a normal day to day motor tho )

Yep correct was living on streets from 16-19! in and out of various stholes trying to get by and have no shame in that whatsoever. ( not seen parents for over 20 years )

Aged 27 (1998 ) grey imported into scotland and purchased by me for 17k from RallyArt in Brum ( no official UK release back then you see ) no mystery...

37 years old and my DD is a Estate! Ref Gallardo it's part of a business i operate ( to help fund it and market some offer stuff) again no mystery really, not sure you would want to drive one on a daily basis tbh.

Drives better than F1 drivers? not sure where you got that.

Feel free check the details as it seems you are reading the posts incorrect, not that is matters in the grand scheme of things...

[mgmrw2003]

a dream car can cost £50 or £1million..... That's the beauty of them, they are a subjective art form to those that appreciate them, not a status symbol

^^ if you check that thread you'll in-fact see i was defending 50k as being a good income ( against the rich boys who think it's pocket change )

[mgmrw2003]

£50k needs defending?

fk me sideways. You need a trip north. £50k is big earners in a lot of places........... Know only 1 person under 30 who's making that. The rest are 20-27k.

Sounds as if you're life is complete

It's a motorsport in the same way autotesting, sprinting, hillclimbing, autograssing, karting etc are motorsports.

[Snoggledog]

Yes. It's a motorsport. Look at how the Japs have turned it into an art form.
