Quote from Whiskey :

Yes and no.

A tire is known to have its peak grip at about 20% of sliding, anything beyond that point will end in much less grip than staying below that percentage.

In LFS we can see this in RAC and specially in the LX6 where the tail should be sliding all the time. But tires must be gripping (no huge skids, wheel spin, etc). Is that called drifting? No. Is it grip racing? I'd say yes, but I'll accept a "almost" as a valid answer.


PS: hairpins may be an exceptions.

So essentially, You want to be at a 15 degree angle to the way your car is actually moving, for it to be at peak grip. Learn something new everyday I guess
