real skill comes out when you can pass with a safe access

not really.... real skill comes out when you can follow the other guys line and stay stuck to him

passing is only okay if someone is way offline or off course

otherwise it's just drift racing..

i agree . in the drivers meetings they tell you what lines they want you to take . in that , they want you to be close to the wall to make it more exciting to watch and hit the apexes here and there , which in tern still leaves places open to pass . so . . . if everyone took the opertunity to pass then no one would go big with lots of angle and follow the lines that the judges wanted to see . they would go as fast as possable and make it real racing . but this sport is not racing . . . its drifting . passing would only be allowed if the leader was to fuck up and spin or go way off of that pre designated line . that is how i understood the rule , correct me if im wrong

Agreed. The purpose of following is to show that you got skills to match what the other guy can do and then some. not take a bitch line and pass. Or do I just not get this shit?

That's why you put a real motor in it. Disadvantage gone.

Someone winning just because they pass all the time is dumb, but that sounds more like it was the judges' fault.
If they didn't let him win he'd stop, or he'd make sure to try and excel in other aspects, a pass shouldn't equal an instant win, maybe it shouldn't equal any points, who cares, but at the same time it looks cool, and in the end isn't that what drifting is supposed to be all about, looking cool and having fun?
