Well they had the opportunity to compete twice, once in the D1GP final event, and once in the the World All Stars. They failed to qualify for the D1GP final event, both due to mechanical failures. Chris broke his radiator during practice, he had it fixed but they said he was 30 seconds too late from making any qualifying runs. Fred got 1 out of 4 qualifying runs down before he had to quit from qualifying due to a torn intercooler hose.

They were automatically seated for the World All Star Events as the only two to represent Canada. There were 14 countries represented. Unfortunately they both lost in their first round elimination.

Back on topic... how did they both place in the end?

They were both eliminated first round... cars took some damage/mechanical failure and couldn't continue in time.

Even making it there is a great sucess. :thumbup: :beer:

Check the third page of this thread, it might be easier to find if Silent wasn't spouting complete shit. Seriously where are the mods at? Delete that shit.

Are you serious? Even on a public forum there are rules, go start your own drift-bashing thread and leave this one alone.

Woot! Silent is gone!

Someone deleted my crash pics tho.




If for whatever reason someone doesn't want these posted let me know.

ChromeDragon
I think they were deleted by accident. Shouldn't be a concern.

Chris really did a number on his door huh?

mx73someday
I'm pretty sure the inside of the door was cut and lightened, wouldn't have been as bad if everything was intact.

shawley
i wanna see more pics, too bad driftwest has been down
