I've seen a few pics/vids of cars drifting without a front bumper.

Is this just because they probably smashed it up, or is it for cooling or something?

(or combination of both :wack: )

mainly cooling.

Because aesthetics are not needed when you are sideways.

Err, dont think so. If he's referring to Japanese vids then its normally cos its fallen off!

yup, its not there cos its broken, or the driver is worried about it getting broken. cooling would suffer if anything without a bumper as you lose the small amount of ducting they provide.

the cars are so low that the slightest bump will take the bumper under the wheels
