seems that way
but cmon they have been announcers for years
i think they are reading from a script made after the event influenced heavily by non-drifters in the production company, then voiced over after the editing was done, instead of having them do live commentating during the event (like D1)

i know it's done after the fact but still there needs to be more talk.

Dear FD,

Please get flag girls that realize they aren't dancing on stripper poles.

Didn't you learn from last year's mistakes?

Grrrr,
Chris

Seriously! WTF. The cars where already half way down the track and she was doing the ghetto-booty-up-arch-back-thingy. I found it hard to enjoy the show, b/c I couldn't stop laughing at how stupid she looked. Too NOPI-ish IMO.
Other than that, I enjoyed it.

why are you laughing. oh thats right your a women and have a vagina, exactly. i think all women should be swinging from poles or cooking, or laying on beds. the world would be a 95% happier place if we lived by my rules

i like the way you think. i'll be keeping an eye on you.

better course designs would be nice...or a way to show the cars are moving as fast as they say they are...

Voice overs FTL.

And I agree with most, less flag girl shots would be good, even though they looked nice.

OK so you guys understand SPEED has to market FD to the masses and not to just Drifting fans right?. Have you ever watched drifting without really thinking about everyone's runs or shown someone drifting? It's kinda boring sometimes. What makes things less boring? Sex appeal. It's just like every other show on TV.
