Its dumb you dont get points for qualifying anymore, Chelsea was right theres no point in qualifying then might as well just draw names out of a hat

[@imthefunnyone5448]

Yeah waste of tires and time.

[@naturesdefiante01]

Both practice and quali seem like a waste of time. Practice was cut short due to Tuercks crash, resulting in some getting a single lap that day before the event kicked off. Then quali, what's the benefit? A bye run they didn't actually get to run(from what I've seen) and you still face championship contenders whether your first or last. Bring back the lucky dip from last year, had far more interesting matchups.

[@koncrete_kahuna818]

Yeah there's definitely no point in having qualifying to figure out how to seed the bracket🤦

[@DaeveMc]

Guys you can't go to a track and don't do practice... You need to learn the flow and setup the car and remember that a quali run is just a practice run that count.

[@ronanigans4715]

@@DaeveMc this^^^^

[@JK-tu1xx]

Something I've noticed particularly about the RTR mustangs is they have some kind of negative pressure vortex on either side in front of the rear wheel well where the smoke from the tires is sucked from behind the car to the side of the car. This makes it particularly difficult to follow them on their lead laps because the smoke is being blown directly into the follow car where the S15 tire smoke is being blown straight behind the car and making for an easy follow. I'm sure this is likely intentional and is probably something to consider to adjust the aero of the S15 to make for a better suited vehicle against the competition.

[@DomGaccioli]

I’m glad someone else noticed this! Looks like RTR has possibly started using aero tweaks to be functional in terms of smoke control. One thing I saw this weekend though was how much the cabin would fill with smoke. Wonder if they could redirect some flow to reduce it. Again great eye!

[@smurfvolvo]

Haha the more angle and the more smoke you produce will make it come out further forward under the car. You're overthinking it.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I've never noticed that before, that's some clever aero stuff right there

[@RocksConcreteMinerals]

Your spot on. You can see it very clearly on Adam's follow

[@jessemartin2698]

@@smurfvolvo Nah, simple aerodynamics can make a big difference. Having some kind of feed towards the rear of the tires pointing sideways would be fairly easy to do and would make a good difference. An extreme example are some of Neighbours burnouts from Cleetus Mcfarland, where the exhaust is pointing in a similar way and the tire smoke goes out to the side like crazy.

[@emi9643]

im actually really impressed how much FD listens to the drivers and tries to work with you guys to make an entertaining experience for the fans, but also keep the drivers happy and engaged.

You’re all incredibly nice and welcoming even during the heat of competition. Big country even let us come under the awning at your rig to get out of the rain. Was so cool to see everyone and everything up close. I’ve been watching since you lived with Bert and we were lzbmx. You’re a legend dude

[@blatantpotato1367]

6 hours of driving for both days really made the experience so much better than it looks on video. I encourage anyone to find the closest round to go to, and really just have fun. Talked to many drivers about their cars, and every single one is super chill about it and it's just a really exciting to talk to the people you've seen on social media. The FD experience is so similar to just a professional grassroots drifting competition that it's so easy to just talk to people the whole time and miss the competiton lol.
