You own
Dont care what others saying :PYou own
Dont care what others saying :PWell if you are drifting pass a corner with 160kph....a grip racer can do 200 at the same turn.
true But this doesnt need higher skill
(and we are speaking for open corners)Cool... Then how about you get within 1s of the Blackwood reversed XR GT Turbo world record and show us a replay?
Why not? both are touching the threshold of the grip provided by the tires, although in a different state. To keep a car just sliding without going into a all out drift needs a lot of skill.
what the hell are you talking about? yes it does need higher skill! how many ppl can get within .5 of a second of most world records round tracks? 1-10? 1-100? 1-1000?. but i'll bet most if not all can go round slower but drift round corners. drifting is easy (for kids)
No, because while my throttle is advancing on the apex, i'm getting as much power down as traction allows me too - do you think going round the same corner with the tyres spinning really fast, with all the friction of going faster will help?!
no the corner is taken slower. It allow them a better speed in the following fast section, that's all. Slow in, Fast out. Even in track racing, it is often faster to take a corner slightly slower if it allow for a better exit. It also depends of the power curve and shifting ratios.
I also forgot to add that in the tightest hairpins, rally drivers grab the handbrake because of the steering ratio. They just can't afford tp turn the wheel to opposite lock.
By the way, did I call you a moron because I don't agree with you ?
as far as driving skill is concerned, I don't know about extreme drifts as they are done in D1 event, but in general, a self induced controlled drift is always easier to do than catching an unpredicted one.
Why do people keep banging on about it, its been done to death. If you want to drift, go ahead and do it, no-ones stopping you or flaming you for it, there's dedicated servers for it. On a solid surface getting the tyres loose is rarely faster as AndroidXP so diplomatically put it, so why start a thread to argue the point?
Personally I'll pop onto a drift server once in a while because its a bit of fun, like banger racing servers, but I don't go there with the expectation of going fast, setting new records or anything close to racing.

Daxm..im a karter, but im 23... im OLD!
Luckily I have some tryouts in formula.. but due to life-issue, I give up
You realy dont know what you talking about for the red part
and handbrake is a drifting technique so you agree with me here that drifting is a racing technique.
Thank you that you agree with me with not even know that you do
I'd like to call myself a karter, but i'm not really - i race rentals in a sort of series, i lack the commitment, cash or skill to "go it alone" and get my own
I wouldn't call doing a handbrake turn drifting, it's just a momental lost of rear end grip that's all. if that is drifting then is everyone a drifter?
just as if I take a esses in a kart, flinging the tail out as I do, I wouldn't call it drifting either, for me it's just part of normal driving.
I guess if powersliding = drifting to you, then yeah you can claim drifting is a racing technique, but in general sense...when one talk about drifting it usually means the show drifting like that done in a D1 show.
Is it that time of the month again?

no. a lateral slide induce more friction. more friction = slower. It is as simple as that.
No mate, you're the one who's yammering on without knowing anything.

Now please, do some reading and learn or prove the above wrong by beating a few world records while drifting. On tarmac, that is.
EDIT:
I recommend you leave the discussion at this point. Really, friction is what makes you turn. But this is much much more complex than the friction that is taught in basic physics/mechanics, and I shan't try to explain it here.
this guys a retard lock this thread now its really boring listening to this guy trying to prove thats he's the best driver in the world cos he slides round tracks slowly rather than drives round fast.
FACT IS YOU CANNOT DRIVE FAST.
