Drifting is fine... just don't call it a "motorsport".
Drifting is to racing as figure skating is to hockey. Sure it takes skill and tallent, and it's fun to watch, but since the "winner" of the event is determined by judge's opinions, rather than a rule book, it's not a "true" sport.
Also, the "drift scene" delegitimizes the real enthusiasts... if you're trying to make your sport mainstream, foam parties aren't the path to FIA acceptence.
Back to the tires: What's with the scents they picked? "Rosemary"? "Lavender"? WTF does rosemary smell like, and why would I want my tires to smell that way? Are these tires supposed to make my burnouts at the Rennisance Festival more "authentic"?
