Ok guys. Take this to the PM's or back to the challenge thread. To my knowledge, neither of you have submitted anything.

I must say that practicing drifting makes you a better grip driver.

Yup, because you get to know exactly where the limits of grip are on each car, you can hold every car at the limit more easily.

Indeed it helps, but its also true in the reversal. Fast grip drivers have brilliant car control which would greatly help them if they decide to drift. Ive seen some drivers run near perfect laps at the Nurburgring in under 5minutes, That takes brilliant control to be able to put the car where you want it for over 170 corners at the limit. The same can be said for the top drifters.

Drift and Grip share some of the same qualities so if your good at one you shouldnt be to bad at the other.

I disagree....
Im not going to talk all technical here.. im just going to state that using drifting techniques all the time.. will put off your "grip" racing techniques and styles..

MOST of the time (not all the time) your using different lines to gain more angle, smoke, etc when drifting.. compared to the lines you would use when racing.
 
If I drift a lap, on ANY track and the grip a lap on the same track in the same car, the lap where I race properly is always faster. Theres a reason race drivers don't drift the cars in qualifying rounds, because it's not faster. It may be viewed as cool but don't insult true racing technique.
 
i think that learnin to control a drift will help ur grip racing if the back steps out for example you will be able to correct the problem with more control like

yea i agree with swift. an entire track, it will be slower. but on a few handfull of turns drift will be faster around it with certian cars.

no, my friend. more grip = more speed. end of story.

LOL that's a good one 👍

anyhow, from what I see, drift would only be faster than grip on the tightest hairpin-like corners, other than that, I couldn't think of anything.

as someone had already mentioned, if drift is faster, why don't the professional racers "drift" during races?

GT4 is not initial D. :)
 
Not this discussion again... This is old news... Grip is faster... Let it go...

If you had lots of power and you were drifting against a slow gripper, woulda won

that totally invalidates the comparison. Is this thread going to be closed, or what?

Yeah, I think it's run it's course.

I let it go because of the amount of new members. But, yeah, we're done.
