Inverse Drifting?

[XzifT]

Anyone tried or actually pulled off an inverse drift in gt3? I was wondering about it for a few days now, just thought I'd ask if anyones even thought about it, or if its even possible. What'cha think?

 

[Klostrophobic]

What's an inverse drift? Entering the drift going forward and ending up in reverse?

 

[XzifT]

No, its the oppisite of a normal drift(front of the car to the inside of the turn), an inverse drift is with the nose of the car on the outside of the turn..It's kind of hard to explain, then again, I'm not one with words.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Yeah, that's what I meant. Seems difficult.

 

[BreakerOhio]

I tried doing an inverse then mid way I link into a normal drift, if that counts?

 

[XzifT]

Lol, better than I can do. I wonder how you'd setup an inverse drifting car, if setups matter. Would you just reverse the normal drift settings?

I'm almost positive it's impossible..think about it..you'd have no forward momentum to keep your drift going unless you hit reverse and I really don't think that would work either.

 

[XzifT]

I have no doubt you're right, but I still think it'd be entertaining if it did work.

Try drawing a picture then.

Normal Drift:
______
/ /
^ l / l
l l /= car


Inverse Drift:


______________
l l
l _____ l
l l l / l ^ ^= direction
l l l l
l l l l

im sorry that was a poor drawing.. hos this.

o=smoke
F= front

this is my idea of the drift. but the f and the r can be reversed

[LATiN DRiFtER]

ignore the dots. and the car is a litle odd.[move the front tires to the right more so itl look beter]

 

[[Jetstorm]-R]

someone should just do it in GT3 and show us.. cause I'm already confused bout the dots and O's and underscores and... you get the idea..

 

[md0125]

ff cars would probably be good for that.

 

[Driftster]

Wow, this has to be THE weirdest idea i've ever seen on GTP, so you're supposed to have the frontwheels facing away from the corner?..

 

[bengee]

I do not think you can make the wheels spin fsat enough in reverse for this type of drift... if you were to enter the corner in reverse in a ff car ( or any other car for that matter)... Seems to me that you would have to be able to swing the car around at high speeds ( prolly with the e brake) and stop it so that the ass is pointing in and making the drift angle... Further more i do no think that you would be able to steer all that much... other than minute inputs... because most steering sent to the back wheels ( as we assume the front wheels are acting as) would send the car spinning... so as soon as you have the car in the right position i think it would be thottle control in reverse (not very possible) or just wait the turn out and swing out when the drift is dying or going out of control...

 

[XzifT]

It's not done in reverse, though. I was just wondering if it was possible. I'd say if there was a right corner, follwed by a left, you could drift the right turn normally, and keep drifting right for an inverse left drift. I'm already confused though.

 

[bengee]

You mean like regular drift one corner that links into a corner turning hte opposite way. I suppose that would be possible if the s turn was wide enough to do the following...

drift the furst turn...
somewhere cuase your back end to lead your front end (before second turns apex...
inverse drift second turn and gas so that you start sliding backwards towards the apex of the second corner...
exit the turn backwards or do a 180 to come out facing normally...

 

[XzifT]

Thats what I was thinking, I suppose I could work on it tonight. I saw it in Initial D and decided it might be fun to try.

 

[bengee]

what episode did this happen... i do not recall it...

 

[XzifT]

It was in the book series..5 or 6 I think. I just picked them up yesterday, I think it was 5.

 

[Driftster]

I think he's high.

 

[TingBoy]

are u referring to the battle with the Civic EG6? that isn't really an inverse drift....i'd say it'z just an ass tryin to get u in an accident but recovering from it...

 

[bengee]

yeah that sounds like an inverse drift to me...

 

[TokyoDrifta]

i saw this thread and i was thinking, WTF!? A DRIFT IN REVERSE GEAR!?

 

[Driftster]

I can drift in reverse gear.......No I can't..I'm a liar.

 

[TokyoDrifta]

lol, i was about to say......

If it was in the actual series, I want to see it, too.

...For the last time, its NOT in reverse, its with the nose of the car to the outside of the corner. God. And it's in the 5th book. Page 217.
