D1 Grand Prix is a sport, which is judged, based on who has the coolest and radical drifting performance style. Drifting is a way of driving that force the rear tires and/or all 4 tires slide while controlling the pass of forward motion. The steering wheel is turning to the same side of the sliding direction, and drivers are to control the vehicle in extreme speed, often exceeding 120mph, and driving conditions.
Drifting is an extremely difficult driving style that requires high level of skills and techniques. It?s very amusing to watch each driver?s performance as well. In addition, unlike Rally and other motor sports, the determination of winner/loser is largely based on driver's skill instead of the machine advantages. D1 Grand Prix is all about the rivalry of each driver?s drifting skill.
D1 Grand Prix USA & NHRA will be co-hosting the official 2006
Exhibition match at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the week end
of July 14 & 15. This event is one of the D1 World Exhibition matches,
scheduled in China, UK & US with fearless top stars of D1GP from
the world.
We all know that D1 has the finest drifters in the world highlighted by the nail biting sideways drift action at 120 M.P.H. & the bone crunching, carbon fiber splintering crashes leaving pro drift cars in pieces on the tarmac. If that's not enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, see a psychiatrist. Or, how about getting a double dose of excitement by combining the D1 Grand Prix's top drift racers with the fastest drivers on the track, The Top of the NHRA Sport Compact Championship Drag Series.
That's right, on July 14th & 15th the D1 Grand Prix of Professional Drifting and the NHRA Compact Championship Drag Racing Series will come together for a one of a kind motor sports spectacle of color and speed, chrome and carbon fiber, ingenuity and engineering, not to mention the crazy race personalities and the scantily clad ladies, all at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Be a part of racing history as the most mind blowing drift racers and the hottest dragcars unite at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for two days of air on fire motor sports action.
