drifting is also a form of motor racing
Since when is drifting a form of racing?
(mainly)

And a word world wide know so much only comes from NFS... imo...
I talking about the real drifting here, not some sort of arcade game...
And im sensing a bit of a temper here... Hey, i didnt start this topic and you don't have to reply... And your still not wanting a discussion at all cause at everything i say or prove you wrong your only answer is 'its just a term used by drifters from NFS...' so when you keeps your ears and eyes shut for other visions you'll keep thinking in your own lil'world. Tunnelvision they call that... No offence mate, but if your not will to start a real discussion i'll better keep the honor on my side and leave it here...

Have fun my motorsport friend...
(yes thats grippers AND all other motorsportminded amongst us)
And dont forget...














.... keep it sideways

Quote from G!NhO :

try reading this again below.




you did mention the thing i said, but not what i quoted here from you.

You never proofed me wrong, its a term used by drifters.

So i can also come up with a name for drifting and saying its a legitimate word...

lol, sorry, was a typo... but still i never said it that way eighter...
but anyway, besides the whole 'you did say - i didnt say discussion' you say i still didnt prove you wrong? Well... My first comment (witch you seem to ignore) i typed a whole text trying to prove you wrong. So if you want a real discussion (pointless or not) read that comment of my and tell me why that text isnt true... what point i tell in that text are wrong???

I can type whatever i want but aslong as you only reply 'Its just a term made by drifters' and you dont get involved in any of my 'points' we are getting nowhere

prove me wrong
hehe

Quote from G!NhO :

its just not a word...


its a "term" used by drifters for racing.



did i say that.........no

i saidf that you said that Gripping is the main factor of racing that requires grip. or something similair.....

1. about that term...
read my first post on this topic again mate. If then any questions about that text left ask instad of saying something random witch i proved you wrong on my first comment

2. "did i say that.........no?"

You didnt that? Lol... is it me or do i really read... and i quote:

"...and that "Gripping is the term for Motor racing that has grip as the the main factor". Bollocks IMO. "

Its in your first post m8...

3. And 'hottentottententententoonstelling' is a official word... tough try to look it up the the dictionary, you wouldnt find it... Your dutch so you'll know what i meen...

And those comments the word only came to world by some NFS game... rofl... lets hope thats sarcasm and i just dont get it :twirl:

Quote from Bean0 :

So, do drifter-types use the phrase 'gripping' as a derogatory term to describe what we would call racing, or is it just that they use a different word with no hidden meaning ?

Gripping contains a much larger area than racing...
racing is just one type of many different forms of gripping...

(see post above)

But don't see why 'gripping' from out of nowhere became a 'bad' term amongst 'racers' (not grippers in total!)

Quote from G!NhO :

:doh: He did You just cant take it that i have proven my point.

and i am not only talking about this game, i am talking about racing in general.


You are the perfect example of a drifter...

SO go and have fun "gripping" the steering wheel.!

I did Never mention that motorracing was the main factor of gripping...
For full explanation will ask you to read my post above

SO go and have fun "gripping" the steering wheel.!
I have a sense of humor and could pretty laugh about that comment...
But for a real discussion its not really helping m8

Quote from Jakg :

If a car had no grip, it wouldn't move.

If it was moving, you couldn't turn it or slow it down (or speed it up).

Drifting requires the car to have some grip otherwise it wouldn't work.

The fact that you need to have a basic understanding of physics to realise how absurd the term "gripping" is probably says a lot about the people that use it.

When a sport is not called gripping it doesn't have to meen you dont use any grip at all... It just meens that grip isnt one of the main-factors in that sport... Its like saying you have normal tires and silent tires... Altough they are called silent tires doesn't meen that make 100% no sound... just less, much less

The term 'gripping' doesn't pure and only have to meen 'racing'... Basicly (few exeptions) all types of motorsport when you try to be the fastest/fast you could call as a typ of 'gripping'... Its like a main-term to defention of multiple types of motorsport... For example racing, go-karting, drag-racing, gymkhana, tougé. (Last to types not to be confused with their drift-version brothers). For all these types you need optimal 'grip' to win this event (and ofc other things like handling capabillity)... Its like you got 'Civillian Cars' that you have in multiple other versions 'sedans, MPVs, 4WD's, Hatchbacks' and so on. The 'Civillian Cars' can be replaced with 'gripping' and the versions with any kind of grip-motorsport. Civillian Cars have their main task to transport people (unlike Company Vans 'drifting'). The models (Sedan, MPV....) are just a type of Civillian cars preforming the same task just in a different form.

But you can't really compare gripping and drifting their its a total different kind of sport. Only simulair thing is we both use cars but thats about it. (Like said before its like comparing a 500m ice skate sprint vs. show iceskating). But yea, since some people thing 'gripping' is per deffinition a negative term they don't like to hear it... but that doesn't make it untrue.

Just like now-a-days people call every powerslide drifting... Or say that powersliding, doing donuts or burnouts is a form of drifting... Thats not true... Yes they are both competetive and the amount of 'SHOW' is the main key to succes, but that doesn't make it drifting... But since drifting is a pretty new sport (relativly) we doent have a main term that includes Tansou, Tsuiso, Gymkhana (driftversion), Tougé (driftversion), the art of donuts and burnouts all in one. Maybe we should call all these things together 'showmotoring' or something . So we get 'showmotoring' and 'gripping'... Witch doesnt meen the same as 'drifting' and 'racing'... Thier are multiple different version of these type's of motorsport... But all those toghether you can seperate them in the group 'showmotoring' and 'gripping'...

Race and drift....
uhhhhhhhhhh
Race and showmotor in peace!

nice one m8

Quote from boosterfire :

Oh, new ones would definitely not be hard to implement in the game. However, customizing your own by editing an already existing one will not work very well. You'll see the custom sign, and so will others with the same file as you, but all the other people who've got the original sign will still see it the same.

I guess for cruise servers all around this would be a great addition.

ye i know... wasnt suggestion the 'costum-text on sign'-idea tough...
But thanks for the positive reply

Not sure this was posted before...
if so don't shoot me
Their was a topic about sign with your own text on it (costum) and a option to put trafficlights on track... but...

... I'll like to keep it some simple

A sign just like 'keep right/left' but in 4 different versions:
- stop (stop)
- no entry (-)
- Straight (^)
- Park (P)

maybe a 'dont turn around sign to'?

Now, Im not a programmer but i think this isnt to hard to construct in game...
Made a little explame like this:
