-When you drift, do you try to maintain a traditional racing (outside, inside, outside) line? or do you do something different?
The line I choose changes from track to track. It is modified to keep the car in motion as I negotiate the turns. That is, I could use a racing line for one corner and another one for the next corner, but I tend to choose one line that will alow me to drift the two.
-Why do you choose this line?
It's my style. I won't call it my own and only style, since everyone can agree with me, and other people may disagree.
-Perhaps you could explain how you setup your drifts around your favourite, or most comfortable, track. And explain why you choose to drift it in this manner, if it seems like an original way of approaching it.
My favourite drift track is Special Stage Route 5. There are different kind of corners all over it. The lines you can take are infinite, but there is always a line in every track that will allow you to drift faster than other lines. The concept for a racing line (grip) is the same for a drift line. You choose the more effective. Example: the first sweeper could be taken in a traditional out-in-out. No, I'd rather drift it in a "semi-out"-in-in line. That is, I will keep as close to the walls as possible, if the car understeers, apply the brakes. That alone should help. Other corners, as the hairpin of the same track, are not as easy to drift.
