Long-Drifter
lol don't get on me, get on ryder... he the one starten it, i was gonna end it with the "long" sentence
which probally did... ummm, if the car was to use the e-brake on a stiff rear end, the e-brake causes the rear end to get loose any way doesn't it ??? so wouldn't it go into a drift almost ?? ((i gotta put this into action on the game to get a feel of whats being said))
my parents ain't neva gonna take me for my stinkin permit
???...Nani??... okay... I'm going to assume you mean could the e-brake be used for drifting? Well...to be blunt, yes and no.
I'll start with the no, no becuase even though it involves weight transfer like other tecchniques, to look at it one way, it's like a cheap way to lock up your rear tires and to shift weight to the front off the rear tires, I haven't experimented much with the E-brake (besides how a bad experience in GT-
1 had made me want to stick to just using the pedal brake (or simply square or how you would look at it...I would use the steering wheel also...)...) to find any real use, I have however seen others use it, to use it to Initiate a drift I can't really see it to initiate a four wheel drift seen in something like D1 or a Best Motoring video...and Initial D...more like to try and pull a car out of an understeer, it can and could be used with FF and 4WD cars due to their natural tendency to understeer during acceleration (FF is the only excuse for why I can figure an E-brake can be used...I can udnerstand how other 4WD's just will not oversteer unless you really force them at a high speed steep angle...and WRC drives may use it in tight turns...), I can't see much reason to use it with a rear drive car unless it somehow understeers due to it's settings or something else.
EDIT: forgot to point out the part I would say Yes and why...
For the yes case well...
As far as I know about using the E-Brake, it would be probally best used after initial braking going into a turn and just when you're starting to turn in but most likley only for a breif momument and you just do the rest of what you would do to drift such as countersteering and proper throttle and/or brake imput.
I don't use the E-brake much if ever, FF cars the only ones I can find it of any use, I wount lie to say I have seen (on videos and first hand) some remote benefits of using it during drifting, it can be used for example to extned drifts and other things (thus I would be tempted sometimes to try it...but I refrain at all costs...). I really can't say since I don't use it much. I just simply shift the weight with steering and the brake and/or accelerator, but it depends on the turn and car in question.
Otherwise, unless you are using an FF or a car with a hella tendency to understeer, don't use the E-brake in my opnion. I'll need to take a look at how you would setup a car, I have a feeling the way I setup my cars for drifting or racing in general is different from others...then again I'll have to go to the drift settings deopt if I ever get the time and concentration (you would ask what is distracting me? Well, go to my website and well...that's a good idea...one example anyway...) to look there.
Besides that, I can't figure what else to say, to be honest, I thought I had a hard time sometimes of putting words in a proper sequence (the problem I guess is not quite knowing what you're talking about 100% of the time, it took me a few good years to try and have anywhere of the voculbary I have now, and I still make a million miss-spellings of words...) but...well...I can't understand completely what you're saying Long Drifter...besides what I can figure that you're saying if you use the E-brake with a car with a stiff rear, I'm guessing suspension settings being the reason, (when using the E-brake) could that pull a car into a drift? Is that what you're asking?
I guess that's about it...untill later...
and R_Riders the LFB on a RWD car would make it a grip type style of racing then wouldn't it?
and yes that is a challange....
