Yo guys,
As one does after another ISI physics dissapointment, one fires up LFS and even though not perfect, enjoys the 'much better nod in the right direction' that it is. Now I find LFS, even with the latest patch, still to be too 'dangerous' and easy to oversteer the RWD cars, but for yonks I've fitted the front with 'normal' tyres and the rear with 'super' ones and that works really well for me.
Sometimes I don't want to be all serious and do things like tune the setup for maximum tyre longevity, tuning gears so each corner has the perfect gear for exit, not to mention doing 100 laps to improve your consistency.. Then I go in 'wannabee' Tiff Needell mode and just wreck a few sets of rear tyres. As Tiff does, I realize its rather pointless from a practical point of view, but on the fun scale you just NEED your weekly sideways fix...
Sadly I am not quite Tiff but I don't think many videos or replays involving 'drifting' are shown on these forums by people who agree that drifting is pointless and /or by people who use road type car setups which aren't oversteery if you drive normally at all, well relatively for LFS that is..
So here are some replays and the car setup, I hope some of you will enjoy them at least a bit..

Edit: I used 720 degrees of actual steering lock on my non force feedback (and currently non bungee non spring) wheel. The gear ratio's are too short for a real roadcar as well but the suspension, tyres and diff are relatively 'safe' ..
