I actually quite enjoy watching drifting. Even more so during and IRC/WRC event. What exactly would be wrong with a tC rallying or doing touring? BTCC in fact use majority fwd cars. Shucks, Toyota UK just donated a few Avensis to be the basis of the NGTC. What exactly would be out of place?

Don't make me bust out official definitions.

Yeah sure. Drifting is an actual motorsport because you know, they consider figure skating, synchronized swimming and diving sports too.
Motorsport = competing for position, or against the clock. Bust out every fucking definition you want, it will still won't change jack shit.
Rally is awesome, Gymkhana and the Togue spectacular. Why take a technique that one
has to subjectively judge and try to make it it's own sport?
It is retarded. Period.

You going to say those aren't Motorsports either? Is that all that you are aware of, is just their Drifting program....Oh my friend, you need to get out a little more often...  |
I'm quite aware of their other programs (surprisingly enough, as they aren't exactly big budget), though I'd say they are pumping money into marketing, rather than motorsport. Just my opinion though, and I could give a rats ass what you think, because you figure you're right because you can figuratively shout louder.
