There is no possible way they can pass on having real life sanctioned Tokyo Drift

As awesome as it would be, I don't think anything like that will ever happen.

Every country gets an exhibition sport.

Run idential GT86s similar to celebrity race at the Long Beach Grand Prix

It'd be a close match; Daigo, Von, Asabo, and Dai for the semi-finals of course.

US - 'stang

GB - F Type

Japan - GT86

Germany - C63

Canada - Camaro

I say this works.

I can tell you this much, if the IOC wants to be relevant to the youth market they will do just this.

Bone stock and stripped FR-Ss with a mountain pass judged by one official from each country.

Apart from maybe Basketball and Hockey, I care for no fucks with the Olympics. Even in Soccer. World Cup is where the money is at for that sport.

BMX is not THAT mass market.

Its really, really hard to make BMX bikes doing their thing looking very awesome.

Slow motion drifts with your rear tire just barely hanging off a mountain edge in slow motion?

I'll take my marketing paycheque right now thank you very much.

No. Drifting isn't even respected as a form of motorsport.
