The notion is pretty straightforward, a huge proportion of youngsters out there throw away a fortune on buying car magazines to keep updated with the up-to-the-minute information about new models and tuning techniques. Those are the sort of people who'd have spent most of their teenage years flicking' Turbo Magazine' in bed on their quest to fathom what 'PSI' stands for, while others were just hitting on girls. Then, years later, as soon as they get their hands on anything with four wheels and a steering wheel, they start applying whatever techniques they've picked up along the way. So, they start by making their cars faster, more agile, and sharper to drive. Afterwards, comes the phase where they start working on their driving skills, hitting a number of lamp posts, driving the wheels off their cars on a number of occasions. Fueled by the desire for preeminence and esteem, they spare no effort on their journey towards the whimsy. Eventually, they get their motoring fix. But as with time passes the excitement fades as kicking things up a notch is obligatory. So, to up the ante, joining a racing schedule is a proper step towards their boyhood fantasy. But, here things come to a halt. Because let's face it, what we got going on is not enough, not even close! At this point you might disagree claiming that we already have established racing events on the calendar which gather a colossal number of devotees. Yet, truth is the scene is pleading for more and more types of racing; like for instance a quarter mile drag race, or a drifting contest, because these types of racing exist, they're held on the streets of your city every Thursday night, illegally. Therefore, if you think this is pure hooliganism, then why don’t we just take it seriously? In a perfect world, there's something called 'Racing days' where rookie drivers can sign up for a race in a circuit and live their fifteen minutes of fame, In a safe circumstances. It's a serious business that many car manufacturers make a purpose built cars for such events. So, we think that’s a win-win situation, you get safer streets, and petrol heads won't ask for more!
To wrap up, we think that turning a blind eye to an existing snag will only make things worse, and let's not underestimate the potential of street racers, if you know anything about drifting you'd know the name Keiichi Tsuchiya this Japanese bloke –also known as DK or 'the drift king'- is responsible for reviving drifting as a unique form of racing. What you might not know that the DK's flamboyant driving style was hatched on the streets! So, the point is we need more and more professionally organized racing events. It is really a fertile business; it concerns not only racers, but also sponsors who play a crucial part in pushing the envelope. And because racing is not just an activity, it's actually a way of life; because we think that unless you're swapping paint with a tough opponent, you're not actually going anywhere!
