I voted Mazda, cause I'm still a Miata fanboy, and the brand has tons more to offer, too.
If so, I'll have enough time to get tired of AC before LFS S3 gets released then.
Well, I guess having tons of cars in front and even the virtual mirror will probably eat lots of FPS. I'm definiately sure there will be more optimization before releasing the Multiplayer or the AI, so I wouldn't worry more about that.
3rd gear of course. I wouldn't call it low-rev drifting though 
Just stay away from throwing away high score comboes, or throwing away any score at all..
Just stay away from throwing away high score comboes, or throwing away any score at all..I'm using f.lux, which makes my screen kinda orange-ish towards the night. It's kinda relaxing to have really, try it out. Turning it off makes my eyes want to burst out, at night.
I don't know why FRAPS didn't ignore the app though.

Here we go once again. I am officially the first one to reach Level 100 in Drift Mode (according to the Global Achivement stats of Steam, it stood on 0% before I did it)

Surprisingly I still had ammounts of fuel left in my car, so I continued on for a bit longer:

Such a session, really. It kinda got me tired even.

The Lotus '49 was at least half a second faster in the previous patch than it is now, so it's nothing to get frustrated about. Look at the speeds in straight. You are at least 5-6 kmh slower at the finish line. And at least 10 kmh quicker on turn exits.
I'm going to go on and still agree with Moose.
- I get that this is supposed to be an LFS topic, but whining for more content is just as useless as comparing the 2 simulators, which actually makes sense at some point. Even for the developers.
- From what I also heard, like Moose, most of the real drivers say AC is actually as close to real as its possible by the current standards and technology. The forcefeedback has more than a Force option, like LFS has. You can set the FFB up the same way as it is in LFS, which I found less realistic in road and kerb feedback. I like the FFB a lot more in AC. The slipping, kerb and road feedback are on top notch, when set up properly.
- I'm not sure if AC needs a "horse" to run. I am having a 5-6 years old PC and I run it on 110 FPS, all on low graphics with a few FPS spikes, but I guess that will be fixed in the actual version. Just cause it isn't outdated **** from 2002 running DX8 or something, and hence your PC not being able to run it properly, that means you need an upgrade. Finally developers found out that stoneage PCs shouldn't bottleneck a project in any form. I'm on the side of improving, regardless of that small percent of people.

I just spent more than an hour on this crap, failed a 40k combo twice and then ran out of fuel at this point:

Seriously... You have to drift nearly flawlessly to get that level 100 before running out of fuel. When I have too much spare time I'll try once more.
About Imola: try going 2 wheels onto the first curb of the chicane then let the car out to the wall on the right completely. I know that's not really legal, but that's how that lap was done.

It's 16/11 indeed. I think 1.30s are easily possible with a bit more of practice.
Btw, I just tried that setup posted in that topic and damn.... I seriously went from 32.5 to 31.3 in 3 laps... like literally.
I didn't drive 458 much in other tracks. I did some Silverstone and I was into 1.11s in a few laps, I think.
It's just a matter of time people realize what Early Access or even BETA means. I hope that time comes really soon. Any hype over a non-released game is bullshit. Talk crap about the actual thing if it comes and and would suck, which I doubt cause the current version already owns every sim out there.
Can you possibly PM me that setup with 6/6 wings, please?
Can you upload a replay of that please? I'm so curious... I just can't be faster with 16/14 than I am with ultralow wings... I'm losing a lot to my ghost in the first few sectors to get it back in the last alone.. Seems impossible.
I had that setup with 16/14 wings and I just didn't believe that. I mean... I just changed wings to a lot lower (11/8) and did a lot better. Felt like I'm losing too much on the straight to get it back in the turns. Well, I'll try that setup (from youtube) again then and hope to have better luck this time.
Glad to hear that from Ray's mouth...
I'm glad to hear your success in LFS with that kind of hardware. I can imagine how hard it is to keep the car on track even with that... thing. But those stats seriously don't mean much. I might have less races won in my stats than most of the people around, but still being more competitive at some point... The thing is, winning a 6 hour race is just one to that count, while I could've won like 150 sprint races in that ammount of time, if you get my point. I was just never the public racer style, except for CTRA. That's where I collected most of my wins.

I answered your question properly. I don't see the problem. It's a car with relatively low steering lock, so nothing more than a few 4 wheel slides are good for your health...
Low angles are possible, but I would call that powersliding rather than drifting.
Pics or didn't happen :P Anyways, I'll keep on trying to get that 1.31 on that combo and also seeking a setup for Lotus '49 at Monza. I just can't seem to get past the 1.29 high-mid whereas I see videos doing 27 mids. That's 2 damn seconds off-pace...
Not sure if there's a possible way of modding the car values so far. Kunos talked about a value detection system implemented in 0.2
It's just taking the part after chicane a bit wide to the right. Gains you a whole sec at least. (Yea, that's my lap there on the list).
I don't think that the Abarth on Vallelunga is an exploitable laptime, on instance. I would love to see those 1.31s there though. I mean, on youtube they didn't really look that fast, I'm still half a second off that though.
Well, I guess my most valuable achivements are these:
Drift Master
Reach level 50 in drift mode
Time Attack Master
Obtained if the player completes 10 laps in Time Attack Mode.
Way better than him
Beat 1:54:00 at Imola with the Ferrari 458.

The hell, nobody did the Poleman thingy? I saw videos doing 1.31s on that combo and it doesn't look really hard. I'm giving it a try tomorrow when I have time. (I already did a 32.4 on it with default set... Playing around will help a bit). The drift king thing is just a matter of time really. Takes like 2 or 3 hours of constant playing to achieve, I think. Where do you get these statistics from though?
rF is less challenging, due to the unrealistic physics that the mods provide. Of course it doesn't give you an actual challenge with that much power, steering lock and infinite front-end grip. The car moves unnatural, like freaking arcade. I never got around to drift in iRacing, but even powerslides felt crap in the MX5... AC and LFS are kinda on pair in terms of controlling the car sideways. LFS' tires are kinda soapy compared to AC thought (AC is better in that term).
