Cool story bro.. bring qualifying back... wtf was this? half the cars were broken, the other half some had a bye run and didnt gave a crap and most battles were worse than prospec... 1 hour and 40 minutes of a clown fiesta... at this point the practice sessions are better than this...

[@DolphinDivingChamp]

nah this aint worse

[@Amateurstrongman]

Wow you're such an expert. You really know what you are talking about and should make all the decisions. Qualifying took fucking forever, and you would end up with top 32 going an hour or more over time because of the schedule getting pushed back farther and farther. This doesn't take an entire day, and it allows more time for practice and for drivers to relax, because shockingly, they aren't your fucking slaves who exist to do your bidding. They have lives and don't want to spend the entire day waiting for their qualifying run. The drivers in the seeding bracket are almost always drivers who did not do well at previous events, or drivers who skipped an event like Vaughn. That's WHY they aren't already in the other half of the top 32. Naturally when you have the worst performing drivers in the season going against each other, it isn't going to look very good. Kyle Mohan is never going to throw down an insane chase run and blow us all away, but that's WHY he is in the seeding and not already in the top 32. Use your fucking brain. If they went back to regular qualifying, guess what? All these drivers in this seeding bracket would be throwing down 60 or 70 point runs at best. It would STILL look bad, but you wouldn't even get to see some head to head action to make up for it. Having the seeding bracket instead of qualifying at least gives these worse drivers a fair shot at the top 32. They can get in on winning a battle instead of missing out on top 32 because their qualifying run was when the track was slightly more wet than the guys before them.

At the end of the day this format is better for the drivers that don't typically get a much track time (the bottom 16 drivers) it gives them more track time and more start time. Down the road it will lead to better overall top32

[@keshkalleshh8329]

​@@corbingrizzel5523in all honesty, don't do that on our time. Get your seat time during the off season and get better at it. Qualifying creates a better mix of battles. Period.

[@P4FElton]

@@corbingrizzel5523 yes they get more track time, but also brings the problem that is: usually the worse placed cars/drivers have more problems in the car... And driving more ONLY increases that.. meaning the better drivers always have the car ready and only drive half to get more... Because the good seeding guys eventually leave to top16... The proper way would be sending the worst drivers to prospec... Exactly like football leagues

[@bonjouravecuns]

thorne is a rtr killer tonight! gg

[@thaleslb8]

Really hope for a change next year, seeding not the way to go! Make Formula Drift Great Again!!

[@Amateurstrongman]

wahh wahh wahhh i have no idea how this works and think qualifying taking literally an entire day and having constantly changing track conditions is somehow better for the drivers and the event wahhh wahhhh wahhh

[@dannyl3858]

Keep the seeding, but get rid of the random draw. There has to be some reward for winning the seeding bracket.

[@jasonpickens9839]

My idea is that you do the seeding draw so that the highest ranked driver that loses gets a second chance so there are no bye runs. So with 15 drivers, you leave spot 8 open for the highest ranked looser to vs 9. That incentives winning seeding so that even if you lose top 32 you have a good chance of getting a second chance next round and we don't see so many bye runs.

Formula Drift is Kindergarten, the competion in Drift Master is another level.

[@slimsantana9482]

dam str8 i have really bad insomnia and i chose to stare at the ceiling thank watch that garbage

[@BryanCarter4130]

Vaughn putting it on stuke for the hood pins 😂👏🏻

[@christhompson9331]

VGJ made more events than Hobson when Hobson did a full season😢

[@Sean.Corscadden]

Seeding is garbage and is killing my interest in fd

[@22Epic]

Stop watching FD then mate. Have you a gun pointed on your head? (Would not be surprising though, USA lol...)

[@slimsantana9482]

fd is killing my interest wioth there judging and boring tracks keep long beach , atl, irwindale, get rid the rest they are amatuer hour hardest part of drifting is transitions yet fd has least amount out nice easy 8 , they blame every thing under the sun but they pick these places ., utah cant watch on tv u cant tell track from off track paint the grass make it look the part of a top tear comp most the time its like sunday league

[@ez28gaming86]

Why a bye in top 32 wtf

[@TASTYTREATSPLS]

This was rough 😂

[@arekjohnson2019]

If Vaughen isn't gonna do the full season that seat should go to someone else imo. Its kinda weird he can just treat fd like a play thing while everyone else is actually competing

[@gefangelelite_7539]

It's finally here, this stage is going to be insane 🎉🎉🎉

[@SNnabilaa]

Wow

[@SMTMOTORSPORT]

Wow that was a terrible watch go back qualifying

[@Donreptiles514]

Bring qualif back. This sheit was hard to watch for hours

[@UnionBMXCO]

No comments here is insane.

[@Zr1kid]

theres 2 comments now

[@LYCANMEDIA]

hehe

[@PL_Bass]

Seeding bracket needs some fixing. Drivers should be expected to drive each run (unless car problem etc) otherwise they should lose points or drop their grade number for the next days Top32. Spectators that pay for the Friday must get pretty bored at watching bye runs. Hell the practice runs were much more entertaining than the seeding. Can’t wait for top32

[@keshkalleshh8329]

Wasted my time. Bring qualifying back FD. Jeez!

[@adrianmejia4997]

Why mustans and vetts destroy all the others in crashes 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Amateurstrongman]

A shame torque drift 2 is unplayable if you don't want to spend a ton of money on it. You get like 5 "tokens" or whatever for completing freestyle events. Parts cost hundreds of tokens. You literally can't modify your car or buy parts unless you spend your real money on the game.

[@chrispowbilledo9993]

It's a trash game. Frlegends is way better

[@Amateurstrongman]

@@chrispowbilledo9993 ah yes because i really want to drift around in a cartoony goofy game with no physics

[@OOoOski]

All real and sim drifters play Assetto Corsa

[@Mich_Angel]

This seeding is ********* ! Serious bring back the old format. . this is a joke!

[@elaine-29]

I think Vaughn will finally accept that he made a mistake on picking Hobson, dude spent the whole season without any result.

[@22Epic]

You said the same about AdamLZ when he debuted with RTR 🤣🤣🤣

[@zay_zxy]

​@22Epic right? Give em time😅

[@KingDeadMan]

Elaine out here catching fades. She wants all of the smoke. 😂

[@elaine-29]

but Adam prove us wrong and came up with a win with only few rounds, Hobson struggles to even get to top32.

[@zay_zxy]

@elaine-29 let's not forget Adam (is my favorite driver) also just ran a whole event on the track that he placed 1st on for FD. Ben is just getting used to it, it's not like he doesn't win ever or something. Look at literal 🤣
