DriftLive.com is not sponsored by any drifting series. 2. D1GP has never made it easy for us to cover their events. 3. Nobody here speaks or reads Japanese, we have to wait for the English language version of the D1 site to be updated with results. That takes a long time usually. 1.

They already had round 1 and I don't see any updates on this site! Are you guys banning D1 from Driftlive or what? This site must be sponsored by FD or something...I understand some people may not like the business side but some of us still would like coverage. They do have the best drifters in the world....I don't care what anybody says..People are in denial. Whatever. Such BS with americans and their show off cocky style of drifting...LAME.Look at me my car is a loud V8 are'nt I cool. Gimme a break! I would like to know why there is’nt any updates on D1gp?

The Driftzone is the video podcast of Formula D and while it's not perfect there is a lot of good stuff on it. From coverage from the events put up within a week, to live minute by minute coverage during the race, to tech tips, lots of driver interviews, coverage of test sessions, lots of stuff you dont get anywhere else, and will never get even on the ESPN coverage, when it finally happens. Like I said, its not perfect, but its pretty good and I recommend it.
