The only thing about drifting that I dislike is that the races are too short. They should come up with a different, longer-lasting format, but that's my opinion. I won't diss the skill needed to drift a car with precision.

Its not the format being short, its the REAR TIRES not lasting. I've taken a few autocross classes in my M3 and had a chance to drive Laguna Seca a few times being a BMW CCA member, but drifting is freaking hard. You are constantly pushing the car and its rear tires to the max while balancing it and not hitting the walls. Drifting is like soccer, its boring to watch but more fun if you play.

Driftings easy i drift my focus all the time.

Try to put that focus as close to the walls as possible for maximum points

It has nothing to do with who's watching the race at 4AM, The majority of hardcore fans will record it anyway. The problem is you can't sell TV advertising time at 4AM for the same price you can sell it for at noon on a Sunday. Since when does Bernie care what's convenient to F1 fans or the Teams. Bernie only cares about how much more money he can make, If he holds races at later times it sweetens the deal for European Television, therefore he can sell the TV rights for more money. He doesn't give a crap about a better race or even finishing the race the TV rights are already sold before the season even starts.

Good point.
