@ Es Iratus: I play Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, so it's kinda obvious I loved racing.
the "heat" I meant is this: There are lots of drivers in a D1GP/Formula D contest, but only two are on the course at one time, battling against each other. In one run, a car chases another, in the next one the positions switch.
Example: you drive a Camaro SS '10 against your opponent driving a Mustang GT, in run 1 you go first, then in run 2 your opponent goes first. It's like the Canyon Duel mode from NFS Carbon. At the end of the 2 runs, 3 judges decide, the one with the most votes is the winner and moves on.
Endurance racing puts major strain on man and machine: Fighting pitch-black nights, unfriendly weather, mechanical breakdowns and exhaustion are just some of the problems. It's the ultimate expression of motorsport persistence. The winner of 24h of Lemans clearly deserves their place as the most enduring racer and machine in the world. Try driving straight for 24 hours and see what that does if ya don't believe me.
@yt: Favorite car for drifting for me is the 180SX. Manageable power and sneaky small posture. Plus, it looks cool with decals and spoilers, and maybe a carbon bonnet. The RX-7 and the Supra RZ aren't bad though. Don't drift in public roads though, not only is traffic unpredictable, if a policeman sees you do it you're driving off with a ticket.
Touge runs always feels dangerous to me: Touge is "mountain road" in Japanese, and driving 80mph around a turn without run-off seems off-putting to me. I'll see some videos of these soon enough. FR Drivetrains I consider a must; the cars that don't have them (Lancer Evo, Subaru BRZ, etc) must have undergone a drivetrain conversion somewhere before they hit the official competition. Of course, this doesn't apply to street-racers.
