Well said Neon. I couldn't have put it any better (or more politically correct). I've been into drifting since I was like 11, so that makes it back in 94 or 95? Damn I'm old. LOL.

The MAIN reason you don't see FF cars in pro drift events is due to the fact that they just aren't fast enough mid drift. They can get the insane entry speeds, but without power to the rear wheels to push the car through the exit, a FR/MR car will just run away.
Thanks. And I'm glad someone else brought in about that FF exit speed. I'm sick of hearing people say you can't drift fast. If you have a fast car, there's nothing stopping you from hitting a corner at 80mph. It's sustaining and coming out of that bad boy that's tricky. And like you said, an FF just can't do it. Well put bro.
