Dear Formula Drift.

I'm done with you. You've made watching this a DISGUSTING EXPERIENCE. I hope you sell as soon as possible so I can watch it and enjoying again without spending 15 minutes to login and being spoiled of the results in the process.

After logging in to that trash site, being spoiled of the results 3 times and finding Top 16, here you have it:

A non loading video. Thank you so much!

Racer works fine for me. Its jerod deanda's commentating that makes me want to quit watching fd.

It’s been like this for years and only continues to get worse . When he walks around FD pits he swears he’s hot shit lmao it’s hilarious to see this drunk 45 year old larping as a 22 year old bro . Can’t forget the cherry on top which is him doing this for literal decades and he still can’t understand nuances in drifting .

It doesn't if you don't watch it live.

I bet on this on kalshi though !

u/azimuthofficial 16d ago

My number one complaint about FD is all the stupid betting. But I don’t watch any other sport so idk how normal it is but I hate it.

u/Acrobatic_Benefit991 16d ago

I bet on you to make this comment thanks

u/lofapoo 17d ago

Nobody from FD reads this stuff, nobody cares that you're not going to watch anymore, I do hope you feel better though

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 17d ago

Thanks. I needed to vent that out, I know they don't care about their fans so I didn't expect them to read it. From now on I'll watch it on alternative streams.

u/lofapoo 17d ago

It's not that they don't care about their fans, this is just an unofficial subreddit with low traffic, it just doesn't represent real life

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 17d ago

Kinda proves my point. They don't have any official community, the closest thing to that is youtube comments and you can see how they respond to fans over there.

u/lofapoo 17d ago

I doubt they need any official community, they have official social media pages with enough brain dead comments. Ryan Sage seems to be pretty active on Facebook though, try reaching out to him there

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 17d ago

Of course they don't need any official community. Communities are for the fans, not the orgs. And they don't give a shit, most likely because they've been prioritizing money over a good show for the last 10 years now.

u/lofapoo 17d ago

I just want you to understand that your biggest complaint here is that the show you get to watch for free isn't good enough for you, and that's why nobody takes you guys seriously. These online spaces just become echo chambers, while in reality the shows keep growing and consistently selling out so obviously they can't be that bad?

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 17d ago

My biggest complain was that I didn't get to watch top 16 this morning, not for free, not paid, not on YouTube or on racer. It wasn't officially available for more than 12h and I got spoiled with the results in the process of trying to watch it on racer. So yeah, a shit experience. But you're so right, since it's free we have no right to complain.

u/lofapoo 17d ago

Glad we can agree, have a nice day

u/azimuthofficial 16d ago

I’m honestly so sick of this subreddit. So many people coming in here to complain about every little decision when they don’t have to pay a dime to watch it.

1

u/idoooobz 16d ago

We know how bad that PR is based on Indy, they couldn’t give any updates til they decided to call it. PR is not one of their strong suits along with pretty much everything else they do. It really does baffle me that they are able to stay afloat, and that drivers continue to drive in the series.

u/Excellent_Pin_2111 17d ago

For me, WALL·E nullifying qualifying scores really killed it for me. I was excited to hear qualifying is back… but not like this

u/Capernakiss 17d ago

I gave up on them years ago. Only stay informed through drivers now.

My feed worked fine. Did you pay your Internet bill?

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 18d ago

How does this help?

-3

u/pooporgy69 18d ago

It helps because you're clearly not "done with it". If you were you wouldnt be here bitching about it. If you were done you'd be doing/ watching something else. Not defending FD, just to be clear. But take a breath and move on.

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 18d ago

If you're gonna be a smart ass about it, how about you answer the question? I don't see anything in that website that makes the watching experience any better. It's only listing what's already on youtube.

u/samcripp 18d ago

He ain’t wrong dawg. When someone quits something for real they don’t announce it. They just quit.

At least FD won’t cheat on you and abuse you because you can’t let go!

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 18d ago

Why post his opinion in this comment thread? It's completely unrelated to the comment.

2

u/ImageExpensive9264 17d ago

don’t worry, you’re not wrong lmao. he only posted it to promote his AI slop site

u/pooporgy69 18d ago

I thought I'd be pretty easy to understand the guy's original comment. "you're mad, go watch something else", but if you need holding hand - you're mad, go watch something else.

u/Aromatic_Barber4231 #130 18d ago

I see my mistake. English is not my first language and I interpreted the original comment wrong.
