Formula DRIFT New Jersey 2024 - PRO, Round 4 - K&N Filters Seeding 16

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.

In prior events, people were stoked about seeding. The one time it’s mid (because of byes) everyone says to ditch it. 😂

[BryanCarter]

“Pin it to win it” he never living this down. Absolutely love it 😂

[idkwhattodomanee]

4th round and Ben Hobson still didnt get to drive in top 32.. Keep trying bruh we still proud of you

[zakkaryhoffman]

Damn half of this 16 got bye runs. I'm not sure about this new seeding bracket

[itsryanbrah]

Ben Hobson making Adam’s Rookie RTR season look real good right now

[georodriguez]

Damn Ben out again 😞 I’m still rooting for u my boy

[joeapo]

Even Jared seemed bored with today’s seeding bracket. This has been the most dull one so far, almost a quarter of the drivers didn’t even show up.

[jamessuman]

I quite enjoyed this bracket, it's great to see these guys that you typically never see run go some rounds. When was the last time Freddy went a couple of rounds, or Hateley?

I think it's kinda weird that some guys can get a bye when the other guy isnt even there, be good to see a little bit more thought into how that could be better done.

[joshbrady]

Kyle Mohan belongs in grass roots and not FD. Dude has only made it out of top 32 maybe 3 times in the last 10 years.

[Bziiit.]

Ben better enjoy every seconds inside that RTR mustang because he may not be an RTR driver next year...

[NemanjaRajic]

It is nice as we get only tandem but it is a shame for some drivers not to participate at main event for half a season...

[tinosyukuri]

This is unfair, many drivers are eliminated, while there are many drivers who don't have a tandem.

[thetruestein]

Serious question: can someone explain why 2, 3, 4 and 5 are forced to fight for it, where 6, 7 and 8 got a bye and are locked in to top 32 just by showing up?

[Feii-Zyll]

Man, i would watch FDJ qualifying round rather than the seeding brackets .. even Jared sounds bored .. But i like watching the seeding brackets when they give the rookies from Prospec a battle of their own before hitting the top-32 .. its a love-hate for the seeding brackets .. But for today, the seeding brackets just seem a bit bored ....

[bishopm]

I thought there were supposed to be different versions of the seeding bracket depending on how many people show up. Yet there’s bye runs here, and there has been all season in the actual top 32

[bithyper]

Seeding is like watching pro spec sometime it’s good sometimes it’s bad but seeding most of the time it’s just pro spec drivers that are making the jump to pro it would be better having the winners of pro spec maybe top 5 go into seeding to fill out the bracket when there are bye runs

[solo_lessy]

No solo runs quali is sad, we cant see the style of the guys that have it!

[ChrisbyFlanker]

With the rule for contact being "keep going unless the leader spins",
...and zero attempt to allow in car cams or driver protesting...
The optimal lead strategy is to intentionally over rotate on any tap to get easy auto-win.
Until lead drivers start doing this the best chase strategy is to beat the crap out of the lead driver until they make a mistake.

It could easily get like european football with people constantly diving for penalties since toughing it out gets you nothing and allows people to bully and injure you.

[suprvrmedia]

Mohan, Sceriffo in...
Ben out...

I mean, I like the seeding bracket, but it is unfair AF.

[Logan-kmep]

Someone explain this seeding bracket to me like I’m 5
