"Hey, so what's the difference between drifting in the States and drifting in Japan?"

"Well, you see, here in the states people drift with horsepower. In Japan, they do it with balls."

Because using less horsepower and easier to control cars requires more balls? USA does it with balls, Japan does it with skill.

Completely different scoring systems. In D1 they got sensors, that measure angle, speed, etc, but judges still have a word. You also got rules for car builds in D1, so there’s nobody with 1000hp monsters. FD USA is much more of a show in my opinion, with judges giving their verdicts. No rules for car builders also. So you can have 650hp, or 1200, nobody cares. As far as skill level go I think you can’t compare really, they are all great professionals. Daigo Saito competes in both series btw.
