Formula DRIFT Atlanta 2024 Saturday Recap

Presented by @AutoZone & @TypeSAuto

Welcome to Formula DRIFT, the Official home of Formula Drift on Youtube. Judged on execution and style, rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time, Drifting is where Action Sports meet Motorsports, and is often compared to the freestyle nature of skateboarding and motocross.

Sold out crowd and the judges couldn't even bother to show up....

[giovanniaraya]

Never disliked a video so fast. Change the judges or judging system!

[Xtrachunky]

Crazy how they didn’t include half the stuff that’s actually worth talking about like how Adam lz’s whole day got ruined because they removed call challenges and the judges are idiots.

Should of been titled circus show recap, honestly hilarious at this point. The youtube admin, the announcers, the judges, all clowns.

[RudeToStare]

Time to sit down with the board and fine tune these rules ASAP, better yet change the rules and redo Atlanta

[thegrouch]

there's a lesson to be learned here. if you wanna win FD, make sure to plow into the lead driver.

Day 3 of us not forgetting? YUP haven't forgot.

Been watching FD for years and usually agree with most calls,
But this round was easily the worst in regards to bad calls.

Blatant ignoring of areas of concern only to focus on other sections of the run and move on swiftly with a bad call and poor explanations as to why.

Many cars had light strips not working, telemetry/data checks or even brief damage inspections could have easily been used to aid the decisions.

The slightly longer run time of the show working around judge decisions is a lot better of an outcome than bad / rushed judging causing confusion and loss of love for the series amongst fans and teams.

Should've been a omt or given to adam, this decision makes it seem like yall decided who won before the battle even happened.

[Maverna]

Recap- there were some VERY terrible calls by the judges. Smashing into other people’s cars gives them the win

[ksan]

Adam made a mistake? Adam got hit by a driver who zeroed twice before he hit Adam.

[yp]

+1 judges making obviously bad calls is going to kill this series.

[karterjones]

Crowd/live stream voted protests. If you got rid of them for a better viewing experience, we should vote on what should be protested. Let the drivers submit protests and we can vote on it in your new app when it’s out.

Worst judgement ever... You guys are ruining one the best sports. Congrats

[sikendpothead]

Its is what it is, but that call was really quick. I understand you want to keep the show with a good pace, but sometimes you have to slow things down and make sure you looks things through. IMO.

[MrHianga]

THIS EVENT SETS PRESIDENSE FOR FD USA AND THE CURRENT AND FUTURE DRIVERS WANTING TO FURTHER THE SPORT.. THE DISTAIN ON THE FORMAT HAS GONE VIRAL

[Weekndautoenthusiast]

The worst calls in FD history recapped in one video .
This was such a sad way to ruin one of the better tracks for battles.
This doesn’t even boil down to drivers, the judges clearly showed they have a personal agenda .
Disappointed.

[nofearcbr]

Was good round to watch but not for all right reasons, calls were very weird and the breakdown on it was weird thought most would be a OMT like last round this one was just strange to me

[cingkole]

BRING BACK PROTESTS!
Judges make mistakes too!

[birry]

Was considering going to fd Seattle in august, think I’ll just go camping this time around.
