I havn't read through all the posts so bear with me if im completely off topic. I myself have been drifting since i downloaded S2. As for the comment a few pages back that Racing isnt as hard as drifting, i must say, you must not race at all. Car setup is more critical in racing then what it is drifting. I like to race everywhere once in a while, depending if i want to suffer from horrible FPS.
The new patch is great, im yet to burn a clutch without doing it for laughs with friends, i clutch kick alot more then usual and i dont usually see the bar raising much at all. I drift better then what i did back in patch X because of the realistic feel. The only thing I'm not impressed with, which is no means, much of LFS's fault is frame rate on the new updated tracks, which is understandable as i have a cheap system that wasn't built for gaming.
Great work to the dev's, they've done an excellent job!!
