[RTDC]... What Is It?
Tristan Drift? Who woulda thought... 
illepall
This is a project headed up by myself to introduce racers into the world of the drift. As a half-breed of both, I have been fortunate enough to enjoy both of these elements in the world of racing, and wish to pass it on to those that are less fortunate
This is just a 'fun and friendly way for people like Tristan who don't know drifting (or how to do it) to learn and see what the community is really like' (thanks Tristan)
Because of the 'rift' between the two breeds, I am creating a club where racers can experience the world as a drifter without having to withold a reputation as a racer. Members change their names while drifting, and can change back when they go to race. No real commitment is required, you do NOT need to quit your current team (if any) to join (nor are you required to become a drifter
). Just sign up here with your Racer name and your 'Drifter' Name, and wait for approval. When you are a member, just toss the tag on, or if you are already a drifter and supporting the club, then just keep a μ (roman letter mu) in your name at all times.
There will be certain 'Drift Days' for you racers out there, and Drifters may join this 'club' just to help out with teaching these racers how to slide, and to chill These sessions will be held once a week. Any drifters that want to help may contact me through YIM, MSN, or AIM (look at my profile.)
For my first two members, I have managed to persuade Tristan and Gooden to join this club. If you see them online with their alter-ego name, give them a shout :P Thanks guys for being good sports
Just to make it known to you drifters, yes, I am planning to make a [DTRC] depending on how well this one runs, once it gets up to speed.

please, let the dead stay dead.... eerie zombie threads scare me :| (anyone watch diggnation?)
visual tuning! half in jest though.
just wheels. because the same car with the same rim gets boring...
but everything everyone else said here is same for me.
one thing i would LOVE to see is the unforseeable damages. in a race, if you abuse your gearbox, it'll fail. hell, sometimes it just fails because it does. i'd love to see that happen in this game. over rev a little too much, you get a piston through the head. i'd love to see fuel air mixture adjustment, clutch feather, clutch wear, all that good stuff...

confirmed: i am older than 2k4. i just watched a movie of LFS, talking about how a team formed in 2k3, and i was playing long before that team formed. mid-early 2k3 it is.
well it's mainly to introduce racers to the world of drift.

i played demo for quite a while before i got my licenses.
i usually keep my revs high up near the redline, and once i pull out of the drift (if i decide not to link it) then i shift up to 4th for a quick stint. this also sets me up for using the shift lock technique, which allows me to downshift back to third, initiate a drift, and keep my revs up all in one go.
- assuming going blackwood forwards, i usually decelerate quite a bit if i'm trying to drift nice, ususally take it in 3rd gear.
- not necesarily. if you decrease throttle abruptly, then the weight will shift from the rear to the front, thus unloading the rear wheels. this can do one of two things: make you spin, or help you regain traction. but usually you really only regain traction if you are going slower. no this normally won't decrease your angle alone, but throughout a drift it can. kinda hard for me to explain :|

ruckus.... *smacks head*
shotglass, go drive a car around a track :P basically just use the force and predict where the curb is, as long as it's a little left of you then it's all good. and you'll be able to feel the rumblstrip through FFB i assume (i use a mouse)

i'll bite.
- you can try to direct your way out of a drift by easing up on the throttle, which sometimes will allow your tires to regain grip. also, depending on your stage in the drift, steering into the slide then centering *can* pull you out of the drift.
- this really depends. back in S1, i would never drift in any gear except for 3rd, because its powerband was smack in the middle of what i was comfortable in. but with my current gearing in my FZ5, i drift more in 2nd. it's all in personal comfort levels. when i drift, i maintain high revs all through the gear i initiated in, i don't shift in a drift.
- you can correct the direction of the drift by using a combination of throttle and steering. releasing throttle abruptly during a drift *can* cause you to spin, because of the sudden weight shift off the rear wheels and to the front. i correct my angle mainly using steering though, because i use a mouse and throttle control is more or less non-existant. i can use the abrupt throttle cut to my advantage though. learning to clutch-kick is very advantageous in this scenario.
- basically it's a setup issue. depending on the car, it can be easier or harder. for example, the FZ5 (which you can't drive) is much harder to flick into a 90* drift because of its rear-engined arrangement. in the XRT, basically it takes quick reactions with the steering wheel and some throttle control, and full lock usually.
- can't answer this one, everyone has their own taste.
hope this helps

okay, server is up. but go to the one that i am at, look me up. sam got his hosting fixed and we're gonna be there
thanks anyways apex
thanks anyways apex
lol sry ape. ex. there was that one time in the server :P ape/pex
anyways, tonight 7:30EST, there will be a session up. it will be [RTDC]Drift Sever(ADA) or something like that, and will host 10 people. show up if you can, not too much will be covered, we will just be doing some 'orientation' and the like tonight.

um.. so yeah. selfless plug. go check out [rtdc] thread
okay, list updated rob.
bbman, just create a new player profile, then when you go into 'drift mode' you can change your name with a click

well i am trying to get once-a-week lesson sessions, and possibly (it's a stretch though) a dedicated server for RTDC where you can pop in at any time and chill/drift/whatever you want. if not that, then i will try to get a server up and running and i guess it will be luck if the server is on and you happen to see it.
