All the time 
would you care to put your money where your mouth is?
would you care to put your money where your mouth is?
let me guess you are 12 years old?
So thats a no then?
thank you for confirming that you are 12 years old
this thread should be renamed "why do you guys hate stupid people so much?" as that sums it up a lot better, there are stupid racers like HarryGillman that race on drift servers (then act like they are the best driver ever lol) and others that drift on racer servers, the thing that they have in common is nobody likes them
if you don't like racing don't do it, if you don't like drifting don't do it, find the appropriate server and you'll have no issue doing what you enjoy
Can you prove that?
And also, how about you get your information how drift events work from elsewhere than NFS:Underground.
lol your stats are also nothing to write home about. he is correct in what he speaking against, from what ive seen a "drifter" can be just as capable of racing as a racer can be of drifting. maybe not every drifter will be at a competive level when racing but then thats the same as not every racer could be good at drifting. and i guess what is said at the bottom of your message just shows how much of an idiot you are also
I hear a challenge, I have a race/drift layout you can try people.
Ill run the server for a test see who can get teh fastest lap;

I leave it running till end of the world...

challenege accepted!
Excuse me, but how does one execute a fast lap without using various Drifting techniques and vice versa?
Simple, deal with it, it's autocross
Endy you are one in a million brotha! totally agree
The **** is this discussion actually about now :/
Just leave everyone to their things!
@HairyGillman
They're not letting me test the porsche because i suck at racing
. It's just what you choose for and I like both drifting and racing!

So if a racer is drifting, he's a drifter. When he then wants to race, he can't race anymore.
We have to go deeper.

Happened to me.
Go drifting the Porsche then.
Well didn't bother to check all of the earlier posts, but I get this alot. Drifting as a sport? Not to brag or anything, but I'm closely linked to drifting IRL. Drifting as a sport isn't just hooning your car around the track for show. The judges usually set up an unusual line which you should drift purely without any flaws.
If you'd like to compare this to any other sports then it's not figure skating, it's more like downhill skiing. You have to have the perfect line, angle, speed etc. It isn't just randomly sliding around, theres much more to it than that.
The skill of sliding the car around may not be a sport, but the skill of sliding the car around precisely is sport.
Thats just my few drops of oil into the flame.

Agreed
I don't hate drifting - I've done it a lot, and probably half of my 1000 laps in the XRG around BL1 is drifting. I think it's the people. I've met many people in drift servers who ONLY drift and a lot of them think they are baus where in reality, they suck. Too much Initial D.
There is nothing wrong with drifting though, and being able to drift whether flambuoyantly or slightly is a good skill to have IMO. In fact, you need to have a slight slip to maximize the amount of grip from your tires. Good racers will drift - at least a bit.

How does winner get sorted out in downhill skiing? Pretty easy - the one who finishes the distance in shortest time wins.
How does winner get sorted out in drifting? Some judges rating how "beautiful" is the drivers slide,so basically same as figure skating - no technical data,just decision of some one. So it's still figure skating!
I like drift, what I don't like is most of drifters, are just stupid.
I like to compare hotlapping an xrt to drifting 
I meant on how driving an xrt on a hotlap on the edge consists of mini slides especially on south city.
A "grip driver" will try to get the lowest laptime while focusing on going as fast as possible while maintaining car control. To do that successfully especially in a rear-wheel drive car, there would be a slight amount of drifting at the corner exits when the driver gets back on the gas as the car is still rotating.
A "drifter" wouldn't try to get the lowest laptime so going as fast as possible is actually irrelevant to most drifters that usually focus only on car control and tire wear. Most drifters also stay in 1st to 3rd gear with close gear ratio setups that optimize the torque range for drifting at high RPM and as a result of the close ratios, the car also has a lower top speed.
Logically, the grip driver will get a lower laptime as opposed to the drifter however not all drifters are slow as some will give even the best grip drivers a run for their money.
