Buying a time-slot on Speed doesn't mean they'll be able to pull these events off unfortunately. AFAIK the event isn't even booked at TMS, and they are claiming a "140+ Driver/car count for their Texas event", that is a month away, with no rulebook/judges announced. They also claim that their "Rulebook will be so well-written most cars will have to be redone to be up to spec". With "140" entrants, less than a month away and a industry changing rulebook as they seem to say, I'd expect this will get all the people who didn't make the cut for FD/XDC, or who are just bored and can afford it.

If I had a dollar for each event D1GP USA successfully held... I'd have a lot fewer $1 bills.

These guys are a joke.

Joke confirmed.

A source told me the only feasible events for them is the Texas one and Irwindale...other then that all bets are just about off.

I honestly don't think its a bad idea, Texas deserves a event, Cali always has a end of the year event.

They need to just get official word out ASAP!

Oh yeah, only J driver who has the finances and is ready to ship a car out is.... you guessed it! Nomuken

[Mike Peters]

"Texas event happening"

"Any event happening"

By these guys.

Laff.

[Piner]

[Gibbs]

CONFIRMED!!!! 2010 is canned!

D1 WORLDWIDE ENTERTAINMENT DELAYS U.S. EVENTS TO 2011 SEASON

Burbank, CA – 7/28/2010– D1 Worldwide Entertainment, (www.d1gp.com), the official organizers of automotive entertainment’s premier drifting events in the United States announced today the 2010 USA D1 Grand Prix event line-up will be delayed to the 2011 Season.

D1 Corporation, Japan initiated conversations with American organizers last week to discuss the U.S. events and their late season start. It was determined that potentially the quality of the events would be compromised and therefore the D1 brand would be better served by pushing the organization of these events into the to-be-determined 2011 D1 Grand Prix season.

The 2010 D1 Grand Prix on SPEED™ will run as scheduled for its premiere on September 4, 2010 at 6:00PM Eastern Standard Time. The television series will now focus on the eight D1 2010 Grand Prix events emanating from Japan which include multiple North American drifting drivers competing head to head with the greatest drifters in the world. The premiere episode will include U.S. favorites Samuel Hubinette, Mike Pollard and Forrest Wang. Additionally, viewers will find Fox Sport Net running repeats of the 10 episodes; dates and times to be announced.

I can't wait for the 2011 announcement....

Go home and stay home, D1.

This is why teams can not depend on anything D1 USA says, 4 years in a row they have not been able to do it.. They do not under stand or maybe do not care that teams invest time and $$ into hoping the can finally depend on them to do it, but again they can not..The smaller teams that would do D1 do not have $$$ to invest into planning and car prep to be disappointed again. If they have promised sponsor TV time they can not produce that will not have them next year. D1 eather do it or get out, and stop screwing the people you depend on.

[Bebop]

Did you prepare a car?

[fast-datsun]

not this time as we expected this..But other drivers/smaller teams did beliving the new hipe......

[Piner]

You have to admit they are doing a great job.... wrecking any credibility D1 had left

[fast-datsun]

For this if use who have run D1 events in the past they were fun and Drifting againist the Japanese was exciting. Would like to do it again, doesn't look like a actual series will ever happen..
