Controversial Calls at Long Beach Formula Drift

I hated how much they were talking about hitting the last inside clip literally everyone has been destroying it for years

[@Leonn_.]

Yeah, i was watching the stream thinking damn, probably OMT or the win for Adam. I was amazed when all 3 judges chose for Odi. Edit: I understand the judges logic, but Adams incomplete is really questionable.

Can we all just agree that the FD judges 110% have something against Adam at this point!?

[@raheempryce4846]

Facts bro 😒😒😒😒

[@bennyb.1742]

Not just Adam. Some of the drivers that are not as consistent (Adam, Rad Dan, Kyle Mohan, Matsuyama ect.) get tougher judging when they go up against a top 4 sort of guy in 32. Obviously FD doesnt want someone randomly going beast mode and disrupting the championship points leaders in 32, so anyone facing Odi\Chelsea\Osbo\Field has to be so perfect there's no way the judges could vote against them.

[@waynewest3891]

Well said

[@smurfvolvo]

No.

[@user-180-mand90]

Who are the judges?

[@TyBrink]

Even with both incompletes in the chase, the contact caused you to not be able to finish your lead run even if it was only 20 feet from the finish line. The judges explanation "if Adam would have been able to finish his lead run it still wouldn't have been as good as Odi" was bullshit in my opinion.

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

Sort of...that was basicly the shut down so they used the previous part of the run. That's not the issue. 2 other competitors hit the same way Adam did but didnt get a 3 tire off call. Really I dont see how he could be 3 tires when the pylon contacted the door not the rear corner behind the wheel.

[@DownLow0099]

Exactly, Adams's lead was technically incomplete from being hit. So how the hell do they justify using a not at fault incomplete lead against a complete lead...

[@KakiiYT]

It has nothing to do with Adams lead being incomplete, it was more so Adam didn’t get out to the first touch and go, so Odi’s lead was better. I don’t think Adam’s chase should’ve been an incomplete therefore he should’ve won, but that’s the world of judged sports. 🤷🏻

[@smurfvolvo]

Are you blind? Odis lead was ten times better all the way. Adam was half a car from the walls.

[@TyBrink]

@@smurfvolvo not what I meant, we can all see that Odi had the better lead run. That shouldn't matter after odi hits Adam not allowing him to stay in drift through the finish line.

[@miatafied]

They definitely made several questionable calls this weekend, AND the scoring for qualifying was WILDLY inconsistent

[@StreetBull]

28:19 wait wait wait, so magicly there was a rule change since the first round and not a single driver knew about it? We are on round 7.. they have driver meetings for what? Even Vaughn who has been competing in FD for 15 years was confused with that call, and said there is no rule that said 3 tires off was an incomplete (even tho it was a grey area). Here I was expecting to see some light at the end of the tunnel and only got more dissapointed with this sport.

[@Deccyy123]

That's not fair

[@gptsiteuser]

No magic rule change. TRay got knocked out of klutch kickers last year on the same call.

[@fujisan5781]

I started watching this sport in 2011 in hopes the sport would be as big as F1, IMSA, and hoping some day the cars and judging would be closer to fair as years went by. I stopped watching FD for this exact reason and I stop bothering watching the BS. Until they fix the sport, I'll stick to F1

[@shitboxcertified1469]

It’s always the same people going rounds regardless of who throws down the best runs, the judging is biased as hell

[@tag206]

Has been for awhile. Look at how much they gave forsberg a couple years ago at osw, dude was literally parking his car in the middle of a run, and they gave him the win.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I think it's down to the big money sponsors paying to get their drivers favourable treatment

[@davecolwell725]

@@Matty.Hill_87 I don’t think it’s that at all the judges want to put the best show possible forward and they know the best drivers up top will do that, whenever one of the lower drivers gets to the top 8 they make a major mistake but the big issue is this is because the judges never let the lower competitors get higher so they don’t have enough practice with the top end competition and get psyched out because of lack of experience at top level competition it’s a vicious circle. Having bullshit sponsor politics happen to me in Australia I know exactly how it feels. You need to be a really kick arse driver and show some consistent performance for the judges to start to let you have some ‘favouritism’ like Dylan Hughes is doing atm. Or you’re right and they think more about putting the more big sponsor cars forward rather than the true winnner and because they do that those drivers are the good ones because they get all the top level experience. Either way I do feel a lot of bias in the judging decisions, I think the judges have a lot of pressure and a lot of hard calls to make but the reason they make the calls they do is have good intention behind them they think a lot about why the cars got into the position they are, alas they seem to make these calls fit what they want to be the case to put the top drivers through more often than seems right. Judging and it’s foibles and the comp politics is what got me to leave the competitive scene in Australia in the end, at least it ruined the love for me and there is no money in just drifting for fun. Lack of money, debt and many other factors have kept me away from driving ever since. I still really miss it sometimes though.

Even if adam had completed that run and odi spun, odi would still win - says the judges

[@Ddlup]

@@batuhankaraman1714 well yea respectfully, thats bullshit hahah. How could one win if he spun, it should have been a OMT bc of all things that happend in their battle, these judges have been very wishy washy this season and especially this event, pure and utterly bullshit lately

[@batuhankaraman1714]

@@Ddlup yeah Adam's lead run is incomplete. They compare odis lead run with an incomplete run. Sad

[@Ckhouri2]

That’s BS, Odi caused you to DNF on your lead run since he caused you to straighten so they shouldn’t base the win off of comparing lead runs since Odi made your lead a 0

Makes me so happy that Adam is back into bmx now

The parade footage is amazing !

I love the spirit of adam tho “it would be a shit way to win but cool to keep on driving”

[@creptv7322]

I think Adam needs to get to the finals and that will give him confidence

[@MichaelGoldberg2001]

Adam this was amazing, I think that RTR and your spotters are so correct, FD needs to change rules before round 1 not after

[@stevengarcia1054]

yooooo Berttttttt I'm glad to see him around. Always dope to see him with you

[@ralmslb]

Although Adam was very shallow the entire weekend on the touch and go zones, I still feel this should have been a OMT

[@LordPodlington]

It should have. Even factoring in both incompletes on chase runs, only one of them hit the other in a decel zone. Odi's lead was an awful lot better though, so OMT would've made sense.

[@craigk9]

Was watching the online count of those watching drop from 17k+ to little over 13k in 5mins. Also dislikes went from 72 to 130 in this time. I call it a OMT.
