Formula DRIFT - Info - Judging Info (http://formulad.com/info/judging-info.php)
A. SPEED
Speed is a non-subjective criterion. Speed is used by monitoring a driver’s speed at a specific part of the course. Each course may have multiple speed capturing areas, but only one area will ultimately be used in scoring.
B. ANGLE
The maximum drift angle at which a driver can maintain and control his/her vehicle throughout the marked course.
C. LINE
The drift line is defined as the ideal path a vehicle must take on course and is marked by inner clipping points and outer clipping zones. The exact line of each track will be dictated by the judges at each track.
D. STYLE/IMPACT
Style is probably the most subjective part of the drivers’ runs. Style is just what it sounds like: The drivers’ overall ability to take the specific judging criteria and display it is the most personal and individual way. That is the essence of style. Aggressive flicks, closeness to walls, extreme angle and extreme proximity to the lead vehicle (in case of head-to-head competitions) are examples of how personal driving style can be showcased.

okay okay, no but seriously. I srsly hate it when people say something like "I don't mean to..." or "I don't want to sound". Pretty sure I'm not the only one either.

The perfect drift:

In this scenario I believe it was just a one corner deal, so speed and angle of attack were the main two criterion, and kawabata's entry was perfect... He literally had the car backwards for a good period of time and then it came back around, unreal...

also note that D1 gran prix (japan) and Formula D (usa) do have their own set of judging rules.

here's a few things that haven't been pointed out yet. driving line is also judged. for both series, you need to follow the driving line to achieve good points. just like in a regular car race, you need to follow certain lines and reach the apex/clipping points laid out by the judges.

for final16 tandem drifts, they judge the leader and chaser on how well they can pull away or follow the leader. if the chaser is on the front guy's tail the whole way through, he wins that round. even up to the point where he makes the leading driver screw up, or even pass the leader, the chaser will win. if the leader pulls away or can maintain a good distance away from the chaser, he will win.
