DRIFTING! Good or Bad?

[PublicSecrecy]

There! It did it again!



So you condone drifting on the track, but NOT on public roads...unless it's raining? Sure it's easier to "break lose" in the rain, but it's also harder to regain control.



Drifting is a new technique? Are you sure? I don't "dink" so...

How can you lose control going 20km/h? God.

"Oh no, wheel lock!"
"Oh dear god, we're going to slide 5 feet!"
"Nooooooo!"

All you have to do is gas it around a corner and, oh, look, you're sideways. Anybody who can countersteer in an AWD/4WD car going 20km/h should be able to keep control. Seriously, how do you lose control at such a low speed. I call it "let off the gas, roll to a stop" method. In my strange little world where you lose control going 20km/h that is.

Arguing on whether it's good or bad is like arguing over adoption by homosexual couples; Pointless.

go to http://gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=39399 and scroll down to the very last post thats why people shouldn't even drift in parking lots excuse the grammar i was very mad when writing it. but any ways i agree it should be in a controlled environment

sorry to hear bout your car man, anyway drifting is good when its done by people who can drift, in decent cars, at a track or somewhere. car parks near me are usually full of chav kids who still havnt worked out clutch control attempting to get slightly sideways, in fwd cars is the stupid part. and they think theyr the best its so lame
