It actually looks like there is friction on the asphalt. You know like he's on black top, not ICE. I like that. When my TV gets here the first thing I'm gonna do is drift on something other than sims, because, even though it's nice to watch cars slide seemingly endlessly, its starting to seem like the icecapades.
No offense to all those sim users. Keep on doing what you do, GT3 drifting is all about sims right? I just don't think it actually simulates the drift.
