WTF Drifting is not Racing?! Drifting is ALL about Racing and speed!!!
Drift is the fastest way of driving a corner, especially on a Downhill.
The only reason why they dont drift in most Motorsports are the Tyres. Cause they drive too many rounds and need to safe there tyres.
But on Mountain you race Max. 3 Minutes so Drift is a good option to drive good times on a Mountain, even if not that easy.
And about Points
Indeed its just a waste of time to drift for Points.
We're not in D1GP here, we have no skilled judges just some realy dumb server sided Point-System what u can Cheat with Drifting on straights ect.
Thats it.
The most Points-Drifter are just kidz who has no idea about Drifting and Drives Slalom on straights to get more points, and call it Arab-Drift haha XD.
They just ruin the real Drift, a advanced Racing Technique to drive corners really fast.
