Re: Opinions on drifting? (SOHCArchangel)
It certainly looks cool, but the forums that are dedicated for "drifting" and how "cool" and "trendy' the term has become is quite stupid. 99% of the people who talk about it have no friggin clue what they are talkin about and what they are doing. Yup, GHEY

Also, a controlled drift can be the fastest route in certain situations.

Re: Opinions on drifting? (TypeC)
That isn't drifting. That isn't even close to drifting. That is called rotational oversteer. Your rear tires are not actually breaking traction. You are actually transferring the weight to the front which allows the car to pivot more rapidly.
A 4-wheel drift is fast in some cars but once again that isn't what we are talking about here.

4-whell drift works wonders in the uphill portion of VIR in my car but like Cobra said, totally unrealted to what we're talking about.

For the love of god... I don't understand why people here hate it so much. So it is not the fastest way around the track... who cares... speed isn't everything.

...and drifting is something that happens in a race, it's not the whole race.
Is the next trendy thing going to be "launching" ?
Where the goal is to have the coolest, most stylish launch ? lol

I don't think we "hate" it so much as we think it's stupid... and it amuses us to see someone try to justify it as a racing technique. If someone's just out for something they think is fun, then have at it (on a closed course, not public streets), but don't try to convince racers it's a good technique for getting around the track quickly.
