The fact that you demand this as if you are the center of the universe and we all serve you, doesn't make it any more likely for you to get reasonable or respectful answers.

I'm not really demanding it, its just a suggestion.And why shouldnt i get a respectful answer

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

Well, that's part of the problem

lol trying to end this, ur not helping

Quote from yeager :

My gosh drifter92, sit back and read this thread in its entirety, you should be able to see why people are responding in the way they are.

I've been grip racing since I was 20 and drifting since I was about 26, and i'm now 32. I've competed in championships and had some pretty good experience on all sorts of surfaces. I have to say by far that the high speeds of tracks like Silverstone and Snetterton are the best tracks i've ever drifted... and they sure were not built for drifting, ask Sterling Moss

Here is a quick video which I edited from a DVD. I'm driving the pink Nissan. It's at Snetterton in the UK, that top bend was a 110mph, 4th gear, hand brake yank and pray drift... loved it.

And this is a practice session at Silverstone on one of their big flat tarmac areas.

Both of these could easily be recreated in LFS. LFS has some awesome tracks for high speed drifts, there are some areas with decent 3rd gear transitions as well.

drifter92, go spend more time practicing than posting, you'll feel life is much more rewarding.

I agree with everything u said, and like i said "I just wanted to post something about drifting" but everyone is attacking me so i attack back.

Quote from luftrofl :

What the hell is a sterotism? Do you mean stereotype?

For the record, I'm not making a judgement on the character or capabilities of anybody by not including them in my definition of "American." Any sense of superiority is purely based on unequal distribution of resources. If anything, I think Americans are getting weaker and weaker and could prove to be weaker when the playing field is leveled.

edit:
You said "im not white so i dont care" when talking about the bad rap that you're giving Americans.

u should be more clear about ur main point.

Quote from anik360 :

That's just waste of post counts for you in this thread and P.S I am from south east Asia (look it up its a small dot right of India) I consider myself an American.

EDIT: calm down luftrofl You are getting mad for the wrong causes. Don't want to get banned that's just for the wrong things

whats ur point, I never said anything about not considering someone an "American".

Quote from anik360 :

It's idiots like you who make every single American look dumb and typing like that? What are you 14? no offense but try to get your impression right and as for your request? Like lfsnoob said Why do we need more tracks anyway? take car, approach a corner like a racing driver instead of gripping power slide. Why do you need tracks for that to make the motor sport "feel" special? Drifters take exactly same racing line as race drivers do......

anoying people like u shouldnt say s**t. Stop flameing my thread!

Quote from luftrofl :

Sorry, but the term "American" refers almost exclusively to a citizen of the United States of America in English as well as every other language that I've encountered.

no it doesnt thats just stereotism

I just wanted to post a thread about drifting, this was the first thing that came up. I just wanted to know what people thought about this subject, now people r trying to insult me and its anoying. Just give ur f***ing opinion without insults plz. I'm sorry if I said something that insulted any of u, unless u had it coming j/k :P. Sorry for the title just wanted to post something real quick,didnt have time to think about a good title or subject.

Quote from luftrofl :

Yep, there's a lot of anti-American sentiment about and people like you cause it.

Don't tell me that somebody isn't American because they're not white. Do you even know who Barack Obama is? I strongly suggest that you lose that idiotic attitude or GTFO, thanks.

americans arent only people from the US,Mexicans,central americans, and south americans r Americans too so u GTFO.

Quote from luftrofl :

Shh, you're making drifters an Americans look stupid. Please stop.

me making americans look stupid?ur the 1 saying that comment u should have just not said anything and im not white so i dont care

Quote from rotarydream :

you dont need a track for drifting, since you can drift on any track. just a specifc mode to get points for style without going off track.

preferably something curvy without much straights.

thats what i meant

Quote from nisskid :

huh? you dont lose most of the grip, you simply push past the limits of the grip there. there is some grip loss from pushing the tyre past its limits as you lose some efficiency, but id say this to you, when you lock up the brakes, does it still stop fairly soon? yes, not as quick as you lose some efficiency of working over the boundaries of the grip, but you dont lose "most" of the grip.

i meant to say that u lose traction,then u control to not spin out

Quote from tristancliffe :

And less people who aren't, like you.

whats ur problem hater if u have nothing to say about the topic just keep ur comments to urself.Does it make u feel smart talking shit?

Quote from mixer13134 :

You == Stupid

I mean for gods sake, will you for once stop the whining? I mean, I don't visit this forum very often, but every time I visit, I see a thread with you, whining about drifters. I think we've all understood by now, that you HATE drifting. But you don't have to say it over and over again in every thread that has the word "drift" in it. It's their choice to drift, and I don't think that you will change that.

Yes, I do drift...and race...and have fun. That's what lfs is all about, having fun.

Ok, finally got it off my chest.

we need more people that r enteligent like u

Quote from ChiliFan :

Presumably someone who can't form a coherent sentence, spell any word longer than 4 letters and look to see if what he's saying has been said before.

so u think im not inteligenttrying not to right so much,why u hating

Quote from ChiliFan :

If you had no grip, you wouldn't be able to move.

u loose most of the grip,I never said that u lose all of it

Quote from ChiliFan :

Stop calling it 'grip racing', drifting would be impossible if there was no grip.

what u talking about,u lose grip to drift

Quote from srdsprinter :

Simple:

Those who can, Race. Those who cannot, Drift.

thats bull drifting can be the same or more difficult than grip racing.

Quote from Intrepid :

what's the fascination with trying to drive a good lap?

To drift to a pro level is pretty tricky stuff, and just as valid as any other form of motoring.

What's the point of kicking a leather ball around a pitch, or painting a picture, or writing a song.???

maybe if you invested some time to actually doing it, and understanding what it takes to do it like a pro you might understand why it's so popular.

words of wisdom

Quote from frokki :

Easy. It's a car that's modified to perform better in drifing. You could aswell ask what is a drag car, a race car, or ice-cream van.

And on topic, drifting is popular in LFS because it's fun and easy. You can just jump to any server or track with any RWD car and start drifting. No need to practise lines or tweak setups, no need to care what other people do.

it not that easy

Quote from March Hare :

YAY! Anudder stereotype drifter!

Collect them all!

what do u meen by that

Quote from Gekkibi :

We already have a drifting tracks: Autocross and skidpad.
If it doesn't exist, build one...

it would save us the trouble, but ur right

Quote from Lautsprecher[NOR] :

A drift track? You mean another regular track with tarmac, corners and things like that?

what do u meen?

Quote from evilpimp :

Use the search button it as been asked a million times.

Plus I dnt think a DRIFT track even exists -_- drift or race the corners r the same its just how you go around thats different.

true that but some better tracks for drifting wouldn't hurt

the lfs drifting comunity is growing so i would like some tracks for us.
