IMHO the vote (and the name of the thread) isn't about whether we want mountain/touge tracks or not, it's about wanting drift tracks (such as
Sekia Hills). If we had a vote about would we want a mountain/touge track to LFS, I could easily imagine the voting numbers being reversed. I voted 'Not really' to this poll. Why? Because we don't really need drift tracks (like in the video above). All the tracks we have now are perfectly suitable for drifting and most of them offer many very fun corners to link after another. Of course mountain tracks are great and as Mr. Tweak said, they would cater both sides of motorsports, drifting and racing. However I very much doubt we are ever getting one.
There is however one really simple thing that the devs could do that would make lots of drifters in to happy campers, and that is increasing the maximum steering lock of the road cars back to 45 degrees like in the good 'ol S1 days.
I know, I know.. I've heard the same old story: "It wouldn't be realistic because no real life stock road cars don't have over 36 degrees of lock" but then again, how realistic is it to have so much car setting options in the road cars? The decreased steering lock has bugged me ever since S2. There is really no reason to decrease it with all these detailed car settings, as none of the cars we drive in LFS are even close to their stock roadcar form of real life.
Think about it. Increasing the max lock back to 45 would be a win-win situation. Racers wouldn't even notice it (which means no bitching about LFS being aimed for drifters) because they hardly use high steering locks, while drifters would get a more enjoyable driving experience with higher drift angles and more realistic drift car behaviour. That is because the very first thing any serious real life drifter does is to modify his car to allow more steering angle. Getting 45 degrees of lock from the old AE86 Corolla for example is a breeze, couple new parts to the steering system and voila. It's no more unrealistic than having the amount of car settings we currently have in our road cars.
