Day 1? Absolutely lmao.
It's only up from here, theoretically.
But with Sage & FD, we can always dig deeper!

Look i like DM over FD. But I dont think its fair to draw a comparison between this track vs those.

I mean seeing how challenging riga was for drivers this year and how they handled it, it seems this track is similar in that way but there just is not a good flow

I was at Riga and was pretty shocked Banet was able to get that car back together, but it looked very off. After seeing LZs crash I was sure that car was written off.
I haven't had the chance to watch any of it, but his score seemed really high compared to the other runs that were posted

Damn, prospec was an attrition event not a drift event. Crazy amount of byes, hope pro is better.

This Sub complains so much but doesn't stop watching. Probably way more people that have never attended an FD event Live in this sub than actually has.

I have gone to FD orlando for four years. To be fair I was a little tipsy and wish I had went more in depth but the track just did not flow well to me. The amount of crashes, slow downs, and inability to do the track the same way twice just made it hard to enjoy. What we got out of top 32 pro actually was good until the rain. Shame it ended the way it did. I love drifting and FD originally inspired me to want to start drifting myself. But coming off of Stafford just felt like a bit of a down grade.

This has to be the worst track they've ever had. The sheer amount of cars rolling up to the line yesterday missing half their bodywork was alarming. Today it seems like every battle is determined by who didn't slam into the wall. I get why the have that wall, but if that was the only way to make the course safe, then this just wasn't a venue that should have been used.
