WDS 16: A Piece of Apricot - Results In!

[Suzuki]

​

Please read the following section carefully. Failure to comply with the rules may result in your video not being shown in the final poll.
​

Rules/Structure:

• WDS Theme/location given on Saturday or Sunday.
  
• Entrants have 1 week to perform and capture their drift. NO IDENTIFYING MARKS. You may add music to your video.
• Drift should be captured on entrant's choice of track cam or dive cam, as well as with the chase cam + display. Failure to at least show the chase view+display will result in your video not being shown in the final poll - NO EXCEPTIONS.
  
• Entrants will upload their videos to YouTube. Entrants will not post their videos in the thread themselves.
• Entrants will PM me the YouTube link to their video before the next Sunday. All that is necessary is the URL. It should look similar to the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dl49BbZi6Q
  
• Please do not disclose your car choice or make comments about your run that would make it easy for others to identify.
• A poll is constructed after the deadline passes (usually Sunday, unless I'm very busy).
• There will be 1 week of voting to determine a winner.
• The winner selects a theme & location for a future WDS.

Polling Rules:

• I am going to check the checkbox enabling multiple votes per voter. I WILL ALLOW 2 VOTES PER PERSON, NO MORE. If you vote for more than two vids I will not count your input in the final tally (if it's done by accident please PM me and I'll make a note of it).
• I will not count people's votes for their own videos. Even if you feel your vid is the strongest please vote for what you feel are the second and third best.
• If there is obvious tampering with the poll results, [for example: asking your friends to vote for your video, etc], you may either have votes deducted in the final tally or may be excluded from the poll altogether. If it becomes a common occurrence I may suspend future WDS entries as well.
  
• There will be two Honourable Mentions each week:
  • The entrant who won the right to pick the theme/location (ie. the winner three weeks ago).
  • The entrant who won the previous WDS event.
  If clips are submitted by these individuals, they will be placed in a special HM's section of this post, and will not be placed in the poll.
• If there is a tie for first I will ask one for the theme and the other for the location of a future WDS. (Hopefully there will be no 3-way ties)

If anyone has any questions or suggested changes to this format please PM me about it.

[Tangled Web]

Wow, that is cool that you pickd my theme. 👍

Here is my original map to answer your question Sammi & LOON. I am pretty sure that is forwards.

I might enter if I find some time.

 

[Loon]

You should definetly enter Drift, its good to see you back on GTP.

 

[Suzuki]

yeah its forward, ill change the picture up in a minute.

edit: picture updated

 

[Tulok]

V8eter you are definately allowed to join,
I noticed that this section requires alot more control/concentration than many other corners, very interesting.

 

[Suzuki]

just make sure your stock weight is less than 1000kg guys!
finding a car with this is a little tough so far. hopefully you guys will have some intresting car choices.

 

[Loon]

Its not that hard, there are plenty of choices. Its the Hp you have to worry about IMO.

 

[LGforce]

I may give this a try though, because im drifting those corners evrytime i have a chance.

Im in. (with same crapy video quality )

 

[Suzuki]

Drift2xs- i hope your in! its your theme, you should be in! haha.

 

[DORIFTO_N()B]

My 5spd tranny might go in this week.

[articzap]

[Tangled Web]

I will try my best, thanks. Good to be back.

Drift2xs- i hope your in! its your theme, you should be in! haha.

Hehe, hopefully I can get something done for this. I haven't drifted for so long though, probably be pretty rusty. I will give it my best though.

Good job keeping this going Suzuki, sad to see BL go, but it is good to see this competition continue. 👍

 

[SammiTougeGirl]

Sorry to say this but im finding this a little easy.
Though i do love Apricot Hill and have a car with 400bhp.

Sorry to say this but you should try to link the up and down hill before the section if this one isn't enough

more seriously ; as far as my small skills go , it' s not easy to get a clean and high angle all the way without losing too much speed in the last corner ...

ps : i' m in

 

[360-D1]

signe me up too...

 

[Suzuki]

just so you guys know, i will be checking weights of your cars. if they arent UNDER 1000 kg STOCK, your video will not be in the poll.
it would be awesome for everyone in the list to submit a video as it would be a nice turnout.

 

[Loon]

It HAS to be under a 1000 kg stock, what if it can be reduced though?

 

[Ske]

You can only use cars that are lighter than 1000kg when they're bought or won, before any modifications are made.

 

[Suzuki]

yes, when you buy or win it, it has to be 1000kg or under stock. you can modify it afterwards.

 

[TunerFocus]

hey, i'd like to join, but i don't know how.

 

[nk4e]

Is this still going on?

 

[Geoff]

i give up this one i could get some runs done but none of them was good enough : my best one have a "small all the way counter-steer" but there's not enough angle to really call it " drifting"

i' ll try my best next week...
can't wait to see the poll nd what everyone has done !
