[nk4e]

well does it ?

 

[battle_stage]

Same thing just wet.

 

[nk4e]

im askin this because im practicing on the rain track (ss5 wet i think)

 

[Sleek Stratos]

I think it requires more precise throttle control, other than that it's no different than on dry roads.

In the rain, it's easier to initiate a drift, and harder to hold it. It teaches you a lot of valuable stuff about drifting, it definetely requires skill.

I 2nd that.

Rain is very different than Day. We slide more than before and the speed slow down each time.

yeah i was drifting with a 435 hp skyline and the mph was 20 or 15

 

[Seito4Counter]

I think its easier to start and hold.. i think rain drifting is much easier.

 

[F.Zamataki]

its definetly a different school of drifting, more delicate control is needed. so yah more skill is needed. but if ur good anyways, then its just more fun cuz u can initiate earlier and hold longer.

 

[to_fu101]

thats true

.. Alright. Anyways, I do belive it requires a tad bit mroe skill. Just to initiate the drift and not spin is the hardest part of wetness. I wouldn't say that those who can drift on wet roads are more skillful than those who cannot, but it requires more skill in certain areas of drifting...

if i can ill put a replay of drifting in the rain in my txr0 gt3 vid

 

[hucker696]

I always wondered why there were no videos on wet tracks.I haven't tried it yet but it seems like it would be cool is you had great skills.

 

[nk4e]

ill give it a shot

thats on a license course but on a real one

 

[drifter7]

i think it requires a tad bit more skill to make it seem like your drifting dry

 

[)2edline]

The wet courses kill RWD supercars that are good at drifting.....smoke is replaced by evil evil water that creates mist , which is say is equally as cool looking, but yea, speed is cut down 10 fold....... control with both wheel and pedal are needed more than day will ever need i believe, ....maybe thats why AWD drift is where i live....

 

[nk4e]

hehehehehhehehehehhehheheheheheh AWD isn't superior in wet drifting but it matters to the driver ^_^

 

[Omnis]

weight transfer is probably harder because theres less traction in the tires with all the sliding...

thats only in theory though...

Ok I made a vid with the first couple of turns at SS5 wet...and the R60 Circle is at the end of it.

I guess it isn't ALL wet...the inside of the tunnel is dry...
