I haven't a clue

"Smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave."

okay if ur that stupid i said, SOME BODY SAID WTF IS DRIFTING
then all u know-it-all supposbly real-life experienced drifters bust out all your knowledge arguing of crap that doesnt even matter, immature girl-fighting is, why i left this place for a while. i come back and little 13-14yr olds are trying to explain how to drive or something, so i got my brother to read this post and he understands. so if u cant ur a idiot, grow up

We need more emoticons on this forum, definitely.

i finally begin to grasp why theres so much animosity against drifters in the community

because of this one guy?

humans fear what they dont understand and fear leads ot hate.

well most reasons ive heard from the drift haters are about idiots ruining races etc ... thing is in my so far short career on the drift servers i hadnt met anybody whom i could bring into any congruence with the picture of drifters thats usually described by the drift haters ... but when i read that post ......

From the looks of that you haven't read this thread at all and are just looking to flame people, like usual. Why did you come back anyway? IIRC you just acted like a twat, starting fights and flaming people, which of course got you banned, then everyone here was happy. If you're not adding anything to the conversation you can sod off.

i bet he sux at drifting tho i was thinking he may be under the influence of some type of drug.

totaly agree, yet u may think ima hater, but know i hate the ppl that turn a simple question i.e WTF IS DRIFTING(topic header) into a battle of b.s knowledge,, but if anyone is keen to drift with me that would be nice

For the record, the b.s. didn't start until you got here dude. Until then the conversation was relatively civil...

What is your point then? All you've done is bitch people out.

lol i apologize i just think you should take some of your own advice. everyone here was trying to be civil and you jump on ranting like a maniac. lfsforums is not a good place to vent whatever steam you have. lol from your choice of words and the way you put sentences together... i wont even go there

I like the car-control drifters have, but the point that not the time but some "style-points" decide who wins always reminds me of ice-figure-skating and how I hate it...

okay sweet forget i say anything,

This is funny. Everyone yelling at everyone else. I'll just watch for here on.
Keep posting.

. . . why it seem some drifter feel the need to flame grippers and grippers flam drifters. I know its not everyone but the minority that do - WTF, why flame them?

I like watching drifting on tele the d1gp, d1gb euro drift, usa drift championship etc and i do drift in lfs a bit. BUt i bought s2 to race mainly, and drift a little. I will agree that sometimes when racing the RWD cars if i get out of shape and start oversteering i will drift the corner. If thought its a close race with someone behind me ill usually correct oversteer and usually loose a place or 2 rather than drift and get flamed for being n a race server and drifting (it has happened to me before)

My point is - Everyone who is S2 lisenced, that means they have paid the devs £24, as long as drifted keep to drift servers and grippers to grip servers. Does it matter what they do?
the grippers who dont mind drifters, and drifters who dont mind grippers - well done for being open minded enough to see that other people may have different interests and opinions to you
Those who are close minded and flame the other group, its just pointless just builds up more rage between the two groups.

As for a last point - I raced demo and s2, and then took part in the [RTDC] (races that drift casually) and i saw how much skill is needed to drift properly, thena s i found out i cant do it lol. Doing the rtdc showed me more than anything that grip racing and drifting are two different skills and unless you are competitve at both, you cant say anything about the the other. My awe (or ore?) goes to those few people who can drift spectacularly on lfs then the next day can go and grip race and get set times close to WR's.

Hi, I love you.

Speaking of ice figure skating, if you got to see the Top Gear Winter Olympics, Jeremy Clarkson utters one of the greatest stupid sayings:

"You don't need four wheel drive on ice!"

I did see that I think. The ice hockey one? If so, good stuff

lol

does it matter how you go round corner aslong as you dont cause accidents, if your infront of them and are drifting they cant really complain as its got you round the track quicker than them.

drifters who get in way, especially on the straights are a different matter but if your at racing speed who cares ? its just a different style, anyone ever see ronnie peterson at silverstone before the woodcote chicane, he was completly sideways there in f1 every lap, didnt brake just relied on being sideways to slow him enough to get round, mind you shecter (spelling?) took out most of the field in 1973

wonder what they'd have made of gerry mashall in big bertha or the blydenstein vauxhalls then if hed been in lfs?

very succesfull dirver who believed that sideways was more fun and gave the spectators something to look at, probably be banned today.

wow that is a really cool move there~

the old F1 racings are surely the best.

Will somebody who can give an LFS definition of what it means when you talk about DRIFTING, do you mean that you don't steer at all and your only change of direction is via the brake or handbrake.....?
