Folks,
Here is what I *think* the rules are for this sort of thing. I could go and race bikes, and there is nothing MI/FIA could do to me, as bike racing is not a sport that falls under the MI/FIA umbrella. In the same vein I dont think drifting falls under the umbrella so their would be no problem. i.e. only if I took part in a non-FIA sanctioned rally would I be subject to losing my license. (or some other sport that falls under their umbrella)
By further extension, just how many sports can the FIA dictate I cannot compete in? swimming? soccer? Daft examples I know, just trying to highlight the underlying point
Please feel free to correct the above, but thats my understanding of how it works, and I make no claims that its factually correct (why then would I post it? LOL)(i suppose to discussion really)

(as for drifting being motorsport, dont get me started
, i'd be a first past the line (or smallest amount of accumulated time) being the winner kinda guy to call it a motorsport. Not dissing drifting here, would like to give it a go myself, and have enjoyed watching it on TV, but when someone else sitting on the sideline deceides who wins, I dont agree to calling that a motorsport, a sport sure, but the very subjective nature of the sport having judges deceide the winner is what gets me. I like objectivity )
(on another aside, would anti-competitve laws come into place here with regard to this sort of thing? (FIA dictating what sports I can comete it) again I dont know, its just a point I thought of while typing this, and you probably sign a wavier while applying for a license saying you wont do such an act)
I was a great help wasn't I
