Drifting Kazama Stylee
What is Drifting ? "It's time and space continuum being warped ! "
If you look at the picture above - and watch a lot of Initial D - which is a compeletely diferent context - what transpire
is that the skill of the driver has to be transcended to overcome the extreme competition and also because they are already
pushing the cars to the limit.
Tanigushi is an awesome racer and there is no one like him - But I would say that Kazama is the ultimate under dog as
well as an accomplished veteran - This year may be his year to win the championship.
The 2 drivers stylee are just awesome - but Kazama always shift and adjust things where Tanigushi is an incredible feeling
driver who really trust his machine.
But if the machine is not right he maybe more in trouble than others because his style is less control and more feel.
Kazama is more control and always pushes the limits and he knows that he can control his car out of limits by some incredible
feint or move at the end he Wins.
That is the clif Hanger theory and Only a master like Him can manage it.
Both drivers (NOB and Kazama) as well as many other of their peers in the D1 field like Rhys Millen have to progress and
get better each year as the Drift King and the D1 team craft better showcase and raise the bar Higher for these drivers and
their world championship.
All in all the spectators and fans get a great experience and a great show - but also the spirit of the sport is still
fresh - keep it that way.
So What is Drifting ?
Here it is explained by Ryan Stevens of Velocity Racing Team Japan
"Basically, drifting is getting your car sideways down a road. It doesn't sound very hard does it? Sounds a lot
like power sliding huh? Well it isn't. It's much more complex. Instead of a drifter causing a drift and then countering to
straighten out, he will instead over-counter so his car goes into another drift. That is the reason many drifters do it in
the mountains, because there are many sharp turns strung together. So in essence a good drifter has the ability to take five
or six opposing turns without having traction at any point in time."
