From my point of view i think their cars has finally reached its limit...and its time to enter the next level of Drifting that is more speed and tactical....hmmm now drifting have really gone technical compare to the early day of it..the other reason is sponsorship and marketing..example like in Ueno case,he's the owner of Vertex,by using continental cars,maybe his strategy is to promote and sell his bodykit product to the european market..finally what ever the reason,drifting supposed to be a fun spectator sports even if politic and drama decided to crash in...
