Prefered drift-train?

Street Fighter · Dec 10, 2003

This will help me determine something.

Delphic Reason · Dec 10, 2003

FR, is more chalenging, and thus more entertaing IMHO. I do drift AWD, but I think it's too easy IMO.

Touge-Drifter · Dec 10, 2003

MR mass oversteer
4WD no counter steer
FR original drifter
FF a** dragger!!!

pRaHjeC · Dec 10, 2003

FR all the way man, it's the only way to go. 4wd drifting is cheating ;x

Street Fighter · Dec 10, 2003

YEAH WELL... my 4WD drifts look better. So mleeeh.

You asked a question, and you have been given answers. What did you expect?

bengee · Dec 10, 2003

i think that MR is the perfect drivetrain... touchy and responsive...

If you get the settings just right, a MR can be controled in a drift quite easily. In fact I think it is a little easier than FR. I have a Clio Sport that is a lot of fun, also a Speedster (my favorite)

As most people probably know its mine too...

As a personal opinion i feel that when a car can be manipulated with just a bit of input (whether steering or acceleration) that the car ends up much easier to control because less time is needed tom ake corrections. However, i also think that this leaves an unstable car that really can only be driven well by those who drive cars like it alot... It basically makes for a unstable car compared to fr or 4wd cars where changes occur at a slower pace...

codered_59 · Dec 10, 2003

FR all the way......

FF if u want a challenge

rollazn · Dec 12, 2003

I love the FR, and nothing will replace it!

Terran · Dec 12, 2003

I know what AWD means but what do the others mean? :confused:

exhaust_note · Dec 12, 2003

FF dude...Forward Feint is the best... I don't like RWD...I don't even know what thats stands for... and all drift have 4WD..duh if all 4 wheels are moving...

Why do ya have to mess with the poor noob? :lol:

FF - front engine, front wheel drive
FR - front engine, rear wheel drive
MR - mid engine, rear wheel drive
RR - rear engine, rear wheel drive
AWD - all wheel drive

exhaust_note · Dec 12, 2003

wheres the engine in AWD???

USP · Dec 12, 2003

FR and MR is the best
FF is not drifting but its a challenge
and AWD is fun
im the game AWD is probably easiest especially for people who
doesnt counter-steer on AWD cars
but in reality AWD is hardest to drift
hail to FR

lethalAE86typeR · Dec 12, 2003

with everyone saying AWD doesnt need counter steer. wouldnt it depend on wut technique ur using? like feint, inertia or other stuff.

bustwave. · Dec 12, 2003

hrmm 15 with FR. it's pretty clear to me.

15 noobs don't counts... its really only like 2

hmm. ok? could you point out who the other 13 noobs are. and those 2 really 1337 drifters?

so 2 ovr 1337 = .0014958 X 12 =.0179496

oh btw... i'm messing w/ you... :cool:

battle_stage · Dec 12, 2003

The way I see it, if it's not RWD then it's not worth it. Yes, 4WD can drift, but that doesn't automatically make it ideal.

yup. very very correct.

1337 = LEET.

personally i think you should counter with every drive train...
but i have seen some 4wd drift vids in real life that didnt counter steer as much ..... if you watch rally they all counter-steer too...exiting speed and drift speed is probably faster if you counter-steer...
any clean drift will be accompanied with counter-steer control..
(i think :odd:

)
im only assuming to the best of my knowledge
and plus its a video game after all

I think what is meant by no countersteer is that since an AWD front wheel also provide power, it would straighten your car when you countersteer, which is going against keeping your car at an angle.

Countersteering does occur in AWD, but doesn't have the same behavior as a RWD where you can opposite lock your drift from start to finish. Most of the countersteering for the AWD will occur at the end of your drifts to get your car straighten. If you opposite lock and provide gas in an AWD your car will lose its drift angle, but in a RWD its a combination of releasing the gas and opposite locking to get your car to straighten. You can WOT (wide open trottle) a RWD and opposite lock the whole corner; and I don't know about other people, but I think that takes a lot of skill to do.

bengee · Dec 12, 2003

Actually usp if you counter steer you are not using the accelerator in such a way as to maximize your exit speed. Rather than using your wheels to countersteer the same motion can be attained by throttle steer... This however doesnt not truly belong in exhibition discussions. Oposite lock definitely looks cooler

, but will never be faster...

USP · Dec 12, 2003

good point ben..
i didnt think of it that way

Street Fighter · Dec 12, 2003

Word.

You also have to understand that the power isn't distributed evenly over all four wheels in say, the R34. You can intiate a drift by oversteering and accelerating until you are at your desired angle, then countersteer slightly to hold that angle.

Another thing I do alot is feint, then on the in-turn I brake, this gets me on the angle I want and slows me down, THEN I accel and power through the rest of the corner.

Prefered drift-train?

Which is your prefered drivetrain for drifting?

FF

FR

MR

AWD
