Andre, if you would have called one of us we could have given you backstage access wristbands.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun tagging along with Kristian for 2 days, and following the preparations for the event. I did get my hopes up to high for an automaxx event, friday we talked to the guy that was hosting the show, I had no idea that he would be such a sad case. The crowd didnt like him either, he got very little response from the side I was watching from.

As far as the drifting itself is concerned, it was not really tandem (twin) drifting like it should be, the guys just dont have the skill and experience to drift side by side. That was not such a big problem, but the judging was really really REALLY bad! First they try to say that Kristian didnt qualify for the main event, which was nonsense since he did better than some of the qualified guys, we all thought it where only training rounds, and the surface was very tricky to drift properly. Then they give the win to Phil in his S14 while it was clear that Kristian had done better.
After that my mood was ruined, damn liars cheated Kristian of his second round of drifting.

Some other examples of the weird tricks automaxx pulled:
-The R32 Skyline that lost it's first round proceded to the next round..how weird. Then it lost the second round as well, and he got to drive again...
He won the third time (he could drift pretty well), but the crowd wasnt very pleased with the way this had happened. After almost everyone boo'ed the judges they suddenly lied that the skyline was broken and couldnt compete any more.

I can only rest assured with the thought that automaxx is going to have to pay for the damage done to the parking around the stadium by many cars (including some familiar ones ;-)).
