Hi everyone,
After watching a drift tengoku i was thinking of how awesome it would be to do one on gt5. Maybe 3 teams with 4 members fighting it out in drift missile style cars then judged by 1 maybe 2 judges. So this is just away of gauging interest.

Heres a vid so people see what im talking about:

Some rules:

Track:

First proposed track is Autumn Ring Mini Reverse, the section would be from the main straight to the other straight , the corners in between judged.

The second track is one me and my team discovered, Grand Valley East Forward. The section would be from after the first corner to the start of the tunnel. There long straight between the first corner and the uphill section is for a run up for the teams to get close and gain speed. The judged section would be after the hill , round the corners then finish at the tunnel.

Cars:

RWD is a must

Cars under 400bhp

Comfort hard tires

The cars really should be older Japanese cars in order to re create the style of the videos ,
s chassis cars ( S13, Sil80, S14 )
AE86
Aristo's
IS200 ( And other variants )
Older Skylines (rwd ones of course)
300zx
RX7's
MX5's (Pre 2000 Model)


Hope this gets a good following,
Cheers Alex

aw damn, i was just gonna post up last night haha.

i've been wanting to hold a team drift competition as well. let me know if you'd like to collaborate and hold one!
 
To think that Twin was discussing about power cap in competitions. Though this sounds fun to practice techniques .

This isn't a power cap based on keeping performance level though,it's one imposed to give the competition a theme, i.e. it's supposed to resemble a Drift Tengoku style team comp, where every car tends to be the driver's 'beater' car and as such, they always look shoddy and have simple bolt-on tuning only, with ~300bhp being the most common level of output.

Also, this type of comp is based on 4 drivers from the same team tandeming as close and as crazily as possible, there are no 'battles' so it's not like the same arguments apply :)
 
I quickly read the rules but this looks interesting. Though watching that volume...the Japanese scare me...
 
okay i just read through your whole post OP, really weird because:

i JUST watched that doriten last night

i wanted to do autumn ring mini reverse too

i don't agree with the hp limit, though, seeing as this is a team competition so there is no battle between drivers. if anything more hp will make things more exciting and give drivers more power to make closer tandem.

this will be exciting!

Power doesn't = closer tandems, we've already established that in the H2H thread and my thread about power restrictions, keep up LOL :)

Low power suits the nature of the comp and means people are more likely to use the cars most associated with these types of events :)
 
i haven't been reading it haha.

but you wouldn't say that more hp means closer tandems? i would. if someone with skill had a car with 300hp, i'd say that if they had like 600hp it gives them more room for error. like when i tandem with people in my yellowbird, i can use ebrake and my 700hp to stay close to whoever is in front of me lol'd.

but maybe that's why low hp would be better, less room for error? i'm in it more for the closeness and excitement, though.

Sorry mate, PLEASE read the H2H #2 thread before making another post here.

If everyone has the same Hp then how will changing it mean closer tandems???

Anyway the theme of the comp is drift tengoku, so cars should logically be as similar as possible to the cars used there.

no, i think i'll make another post here.

i don't see the problem with more hp. if a whole team wants to run 800hp i don't see why not.

and actually, i read a couple of pages into that thread. I read this from you:

---

GODfreyGT5
Power, a similar issue, form trying out my 870bhp ford gt with lower powers in my team, I can confirm that there will be zero chance of holding a side by side tandem. People could just take advantage and shoot off on the straight, probably scoring an 8-2 for himself which is rediculous.

---

my yellowbird is 7XX hp and i just finished tandeming with a corolla, he probably had like 200 hp or something. and we were side by side. i have a lot of power to play around with, so i can modulate my speed with his. so even if he's going full throttle as fast as he can, i have enough power to either catch, up, slow down to speed, etc.

maybe it's just me, i don't know, but i prefer to have more hp. like i said, i'm more in it for the closeness of tandems, not technicalities. if people are more comfortable with 1000hp (not a goddamn veyron though -_-) then let them be, if they aren't comfortable with let's say 400hp then the quality of their drifting will suffer.

but this isn't my comp, so i should stop throwing my own ideas for someone else's comp haha. sorry op!

and another thing. if you watch drift tengokus you'll see some teams with a bunch of corollas and a 240, and vice versa. if it works for people, it works.
 
This is related to people using DIFFERENT HP cars. It's a team battle so you can discuss with your team what horsepower to use and can practice in those cars with your team.
If you don't like the Hp limit, dont join the comp.

Edit: Besides, if you continued to read you would realise that TwinTurbo had corrected me and i now understand hp's effects on your drifting speed much more adequately.

Stupid question: Drift teams are more then 4 people, so the others are excluded, or can you bring 3 friends, and insribe?
 
I've never heard anyone complaining that D1 teams don't bring all their drivers, just bring your best! If anyone complains just kick em off ;)
 
Only when someone comes at me, just as arrogant, and tries to tell someone whether or not to post in a thread =)))))

But enough with the bickering, this is going to be a good comp so let's have more discussion about it!

Is there going to be a cap on the max number of people on a team? A local drift comp had a team tandem event last December and encouraged more people to have larger teams. It had some crazy scoring system, 5 or more got their final score multiplied by 10%, or 10% was added. I'm not sure. And 2 people was the opposite. It was neat, something to keep in mind.
 
Each team will need a max of 4 , if there are 3 teams of four thats 12 people , that gives room for 1 or 2 judges and a couple of spaces ;)
 
4 team members I think, but it would require no less in order to be fair.

And Luckinator, it's just that after TwinTurbo posted that hp limits has been discussed in the H2H thread, you posted again before reading through the thread for yourself, and then say that you were started on.

Chris.
 
I don't see the need to mandate that teams have 4 members.

When I judge for the main Polish series, they also hold a full-on team's championship and have a comp at each round (add's to the show and gives the crowd something different to the normal battles) so I've got a little experience in organising and judging things like this.

We allow teams to have anything from three to five members.
Points are given as follows:

5 points per driver for line

5 points per driver for angle

5 points per driver for speed

40 points for sychronisation
i.e. They might all run a bad line, but if they are all totally in sync and on each others door handles, then they will score higher than if they are all on good line and good angle but transitions are badly timed and they all look like they're doing their own thing.Does that make sense.


With the scoring above, the teams potential maximum scores are as follows:
Three drivers: 85 points
Four drivers: 100 points
Five drivers: 115 points


The choice to be made by each team is, do you run with three drivers, score lower points in the specified scores, but potentially easier high scores for synchronisation, or run with 5 drivers, score higher specified scores but most likely lower scores for sychronisation, or go for four and balance their chances. :)


But of course it's your comp mate, so it's entirely your choice :)
 
Hey alex, I would really like to keep it locked at a numer. 4 teams of three would be cool, but four cars would be cooler in a vid. Your choice :)
 
Yeah i think the 4 members per team is best really it gives a fairness to all teams as they wont have to worry about not enough or to many members
