they got suits and helmets but it was too hot out there.

the smallish area wasn't enough for them to induce proper drifting as you are pointing out, but see what they've been doing in clark airbase, i'm sure you'd say it's not merely power-over.

and at least it wasn't slalom cars doing even faker drifts.

i hope next time, there will be guard rails to protect viewers para magtuloy-tuloy at safe ang drifting sa 'pinas. even tho it's too hot it is still required to required to wear a helmet. ala naman nagrereklamong drivers sa bahrain international circuit, nasa gitna pa ng disyerto yun.

i saw that event in clark in a video, it was done in large open spaces, of course its easier to drift there. but still i have nothing against drifting, though sana lang mas safe ang mga susunod na event. nabigla ako nung may guy na nakawhite na parang i-sslap yung back nung white car sa video, kung may padating na car sa likod baka sapul na yun..

naalala ko yung kuwento ng friend ko, there's this one guy na mahilig humarurot sa back alley nila. naka-tsinelas lang siya but then yung tsinelas got tangled with the gas pedal, ayun sumalpok sa poste at may nasagasaang kambing. important talaga yung proper suit/helmet...

slalom cars are supposed compete in a time attack thus shorter drifts.
drifting in general is showing off smooth succession of drifts which is nice and exciting to watch.

I've rewatched the video and around 4:42 there's a sign saying NO HELMET, NO SEATBELT, NO DRIFT! hmmm...

kaya naman ako nanood ng Japanese Drift Vids ay magaganda ang mga kotse nila dun and they wear complete proper protective gears...they don't burn their rubbers nor opening their doors while drifting!......

unlike the one you shared are junkies...with no respect to safety for themselves and their spectators

3rd, have enough money to buy tires and transmissions.
4th, have enough space to practice.

para makatipid, bili nalang muna ng spare na used tire sa mga tire shop para sa rear wheel for practice. pag may event na, pede na gumamit ng expensive ones.
