how so? Was it this?

Yes the drivers didn't want us to leave as we have all developed a good relationship with each other over the years. The judging in D1 is pretty much up to Keiichi Tsuchiya, he is the Drift King, he is respected and revered and everyone strives to be awarded that perfect 100-point run from the great Dorikin. Without Tsuchiya there, who are they driving for? That's why everyone is interested in what we have planned, now that we finally have the chance to start from scratch. 2011 will be a trial year to start off with, we will concentrate in bringing drifting back to smaller courses and begin to make it more official from 2012. The reason D1 drivers have improved so much over the years...

Yeah hes just a judge, that kinda knows how to drift and has road racing experience. Hes not a god or some sort of Jesus or something lol. They want to keep the sport small, and keep the media DVD based. That ish use to work in 2001 but the sport is alot more serious now. Builds are progressing, money is getting tight.... sponsor and teams want to see this on TV and that's what Saita (head D1 guy) was trying to do.

If D1 is smart they will dissolve its street series so that KT and Dai's series essentially takes it place...save some money.
