I just did my qualy run for H2H #2.
My second run was clean but i reached only 15 points. MONSTAR-1 told me i drifted to wide lines and lost the apexes at the insides of the turns.
I'm pretty disappointed because i practiced so hard for this tourny.
I saw many others drifting the racing line and they got 17 points.
I just want to know what's REALLY important for the judges and how sai and gonales got 19 points.
 
Don't feel bad mate. MONSTAR is a really, really harsh judge. (no offence pal) SAi & Gonales ran near perfect runs. They went impossibly fast with insane angle all the way around. I would be really suprised if a 15 didn't qualify you. BTW i'm yet to moderate a couple runs, if i see anyone with a higher score then you that don't deserve it they will be slapped down to where they should be 👍
 
Thx man.
I tried to drift the racing line yesterday and got what he means with wide wide lines. drifting the racing line giveds you the best apexes and speeds. if i would have payed attention to this i maybe would have 17 points
 
Oh come one, we are humans we can evaluate the risk of doing extreme large lines (near off-track) and it should be rewarded.
 
i can't get why MONSTAR-1 thought my lines where to wide. i actually drifted the same lines like sai and he got 19 points...

I dont know what you expect monsterGAUZ, but you run was not as good as SAI. You still got a good score
 
monstar is it just u judging this? I just joined this and sent u an invite, if u dnt mind send me a msg on psn tellng me when i cn do a qualifier my dude!.. Been busy with work
 
SAi was definitely better! i'll do my best to improve my lines and angles till the top 16 runs. i got a new better camber setup which is far better for high angle drifting.
thanks again to MONSTAR-1, he just informed me that he will suggest a higher score for me.

I'm talking about taking the wider angle with the fastest speed possible for that turn angle, ofcourse.
Why I have to be capitan obvious?

Doesn't matter what you mean/meant, you are still wrong. Angle has no effect on speed really (unless you've 'over-rotated'). And running a wide line makes you slow, end of. There is a reason the racing line is still used most of the time, and that's because it doesn't matter whether you are drifting or gripping, it's the fastest way through a corner.

I'm not wrong with my opinion, I like wider and fast with angle turns, rather than drift race line, I'd rally for that.

So, I don't care what you like, I'd rather have show + smoke than a overused drivingline drift.

Take your opinion, or take mine if you like it, surely none of them is wrong since is PERSONAL reference.

First, the line you are on does NOT affect your angle and smoke, if it does, your driving is deficient.

Second, 'show' (as you put it) and smoke is COMBINED with perfect race line (and therefore maximum possible speed) to make an awesome drift. If your line is not right, your speed will be low and it will look rubbish. Trust me, I've watched enough pro competition runs in my life to know what looks good and what doesn't.

This is the only part where i dont agree with you.
An example would be two 90° corners with a large bit of straight in between.
If the corners would be kinda close to eachother; you could perfectly drift it as a double apex corner. But as the corners are placed further apart; your line would require you to reduce your angle to be able to keep taking it in one drift. By that i mean no manji like transitions between corners. You would NEED alot of speed and a good line; but it would be impossible to do the entire drift at high angle..

If you know of a way to go sideways in a straight line; let me in on the secret!!

Im not sure if ive explained my point sufficiently; but i hope so.. :dopey:

You are contradicting both yourself AND the point in question.

The point we are contesting is that if you run the race line, it should not mean you are running with less angle and smoke than running a wide line.
You have uses the example of two 90 degree corners with a small straight in between.

Firstly, in that example, the race line IS the wide line, so it is an irrelevant example.

Second, no-one is saying that you don't have to reduce angle to link a straight, that's fairly obvious to be honest. We are talking about ONE turn in which the choice is are a) run the race line and b) run the wide line. At no point should choosing to run the race line mean that you are running less angle than if you run the wide line. The only difference is that the wide line is slower.

And, by the way, yes, I do know how to drift a car in a straight line (in real life at least) ;) I could tell you the secret, but then I'd have to kill you LOL It's all down to suspension setup on the front wheels and, more specifically, the arrangement of the hubs/knuckles.
