---------------------------

And the winnner is.... *drumroll* DKing

Judging details: Tandem analysis by BreakerOhio.
DKing (NSX S Zero):
Positive: Nice risky drifting by swinging it wide and still exiting with a lot of speed. No Risk no Reward. Good use of ebraking technique to induce more opposite lock and extending the drift. Given extra consideration for drifting an MR base car.​
Negative: Got a bit too risky on the first lead lap towards the end with the grass, but follower couldn't keep up to take advantage of this. ​

DARKEST HOUR (Proto Spirra):
Positive: Good recovery for catching back up. Much improved from my last observation of DH in the drift dojo sessions.​
Negative: Getting overtaken and not applying enough pressure as a follower car in both laps.
Your ebrake technique on the first corner of your lead lap extended your line out too much to recover thus opening the pass. ​

Congratulations to DKing on a well drifted victory....
Props to DARKEST HOUR for putting up a good show as well.

Thanks Breaker for the tandem analysis!
also Thanks to BL for hosting the video!
 
Thanks to darkest hour for the challenge and a well fought battle. I hope this helps increase interest in more xdgp contests.
 
Downloading it now. Sounds like a good fun idea as it really shows who is a pro drifter, as you only have one run to prove you're the best, instead of filming countless runs and only showing off your best.

As from a judging perspective, I am aware of the touch, but also am aware of how I saw it happen and how the rest of the battle ended. Dking took more risky drifts and linked his nicely with good speed as displayed.

DARKEST HOUR (Proto Spirra):

Positive: Good recovery for catching back up. Much improved from my last observation of DH in the drift dojo sessions.

Negative: Getting overtaken and not applying enough pressure as a follower car in both laps.

Congratulations Dking.
 
good to see this going on. 👍

I've been meaning to get back on xlink but I can't find a spare minute when it doesn't feel like I should be doing something a little more university related.

keep it up guys!
