Whats the longest single drift you ever done

[Swift]

You're talking about this section...? Grand Valley Speedway Corners 6-10

I'm not trying to be a hater. But the likelyhood of linking all those turns is pretty much zero. Coming off the first dual apex drift, you HAVE to cut speed because of the sharper exit angle. There's just not enough momentum to carry through another dual apex drift and then link that into the lefter before the tunnel.

I agree with DTC on this one.

But the triple link, switchback then left into tunnel, is one of my favorite links.

HAH
sounds like a worthy challenge to me
finally, something to do with my afternoon

i think it's likely doable in an AWD, ima have a go at it in a FR though. Time to pull out and polish up the GTS-R.
I think it can be done if you hit turn 7 and with a low enough angle that you can carry some speed through it. I've done the two rights a few times but on GVE, not GV full. I guess we'll see.

My official longest drift is, with the challenge of it, are Apricot Hill's first two corners. Was quite hard cause I didn't over power into a slide, but I feinted, and that caused me to begin very early. I countesteered pretty weard and VERY agresive in the exit keeping balance while violently steering from RIGHT to LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT VEERRYY quickly to TARE the last meters out of my drift Somehow I got the right speed and angle to get it ALL THE WAY to the outer side of corner 2. It's pretty common to do this, but I thought I started pretty early instead of halfway in corner 1, also FR car

I've got this on replay but have you guys/girls ever had the frustrating thing that you've done an amazing drift, you look back TOTALLY AMAZED of what you've just pulled off, and then.....................start another lap while not saving the amazing one Then DESPERATELY HOPE that if you go to the replay again, that your AMAZING lap is replayed instead of those two fatal seconds of the new lap

NOT SAVING A REPLAY IS SOOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Once I did a very long drift on the Deep Forest Reverse course. It was just from the last tunnel near the end all the way to the last corner (just missed out on the downhill short stretch). It was all done with my beloved Mazda MX-5 '89. Actually it was quite easy since the MX-5 drifts very easilly. I even saved a picture of it!:

such are the joys of being unemployed

I used a very long and heavy '91 GS300 to do the section of GV in question. My GTS-R just wasnt turning my crank today. The GS300 shifts weight slowly and the only mods to it are weight reductions, racing suspension and N2's (oh, and AIDS off) The powertrain and brakes are completely stock, at 291hp and 333ft.lb of torque if i remember accurately. Just something to keep in mind.


TankSpanker's Afternoon - about 7mb
hehe, go easy on my music choice, i was just kinda playing around with things

i put two attempts in it. The first one (aka SlingShot) uses turn 8 to propel the car into turn 9. The actual linking gets sketchy here. turn 8 isnt really drifted...but the car is going through the motions required to drift the straight and turn 9. In this particular run weight didnt snap to the left side of the car as quick as i would have liked. Draw your own conclusions about it, i'd be interested to hear them. Personally, I'm unhappy with it.

Second attempt (aka BANG!) does drift turn 8, but pounds the wall on the inside of turn 9. I'm quite certain that limiting the angle out of turn 8 would get me through 9 cleanly - but it just wasnt happening with this car in its current form.

none-the-less, in these two runs I proved to myself that linking this section of GV may be possible in an FR, but is quite difficult and has to have some pretty specific settings.

I think the entry into turn 8 is more crucial than how you tackle turn 7. The link from 8 to 9 is much tighter and more difficult than 6 and 7. I didnt have any issues generating the speed needed to get through 8 and 9, i just kept running out of room everywhere. I'm going to take a smaller car out on this section later and tune it specifially for this section.

Blast you! I will get you one day...

 

[DRFTER-X]

GT3 complex string- I did the long bend (think its turn 3, right after the two 90* turns right/left.) I did that turn in a few cars; RX-7 (FD), RX-7 (FC), Skyline GT-R32, RUG RGT, and some others...

GT3 Tokyo turn 4 - Mazda RX-7 (FD) full mod in 4th and 5th gear.

GT3 Tokyo turn 4 - Nissan Skyline GT-S type M (rear wheel drive) I can get the whole turn but spin out at the end.

Favorite turn; Tokyo turn 8 + 9 connected.

 

[TRi]

that was pimp tight TS!

 

[Bones Brigade]

corkscrew at laguna...

although i wasnt exactly on the track...

 

[dking]

Turn 1 2 3 Trial Mnt in stock fd on comfort tires on xlink well....Trial mnt in gen all corners are driftable

 

[$u!$l!d3]

Mine was around 8 seconds in the first corner of the special stage route 5.whats yours

the same but linking the right hander coming out of tunnel.

 

[burnout060]

First two corners of Apricot Hill, amazingly hard to link, but outrageously sexy when done well. I recently found my Chrysler 300 C Hemi links it very nicely, while achieving an angle of almost 90 degrees.

 

[omnispeed]

1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, and 7, and 8, and 10... skipped 4 and 9 I don't really like them that much at tsukuba DANG! lol JFWY

 

[Onikaze]

I bet with the right settings, the entire Galgenkopf (the turn just before T10 on the Nurb) turn could be drifted...from the uphill right, across the top of the hill, and then back down the right to the straight.

I like to link all of Adenauer Forst but it isn't very long... Right, Left, Right, Left complex that makes you look better than you really are...

 

[rsmithdrift]

BS claims time, is it?
I did the increasing radius loops on the complex string in GT3.
Obviously not true, but I did link from the 2nd one to the first part of the 5th. In an Integra.

UUUgggg, why can't you guys get Complex String??!! It is so f'ing easy with my 240sx fully modded with sim tires to link it all the way from start line to finish line continuous drift. (not straightening out once) Not only that but I can do it multiple laps. It's not a one time thing, I can do it all day long. And no wonder you can't do it, WTF, why are you drifting an FF??!!

Anyways my longest, single direction drift (ie. no link) is at Autumn Ring Normal on the 270* turn. I easily make it the whole way round it sideways. About 5 sec.

 

[Ske]

I'm not even close to linking whole tracks yet (except maybe Suzuka East), and I guess the longest single drift would have to be the 270 again.. And I agree it's not a very hard one, maybe because I've never gone all angly on it

Long round drifts aren't much of a problem with some throttle control, but what's the trickiest GT4 corner/segment to drift (I'm talking about taking multiple bends in one sweep, not links/manji)? Though I'm getting close to 50/50 on making or breaking the first double lefts of Apricot/GVE2, they're still pretty damn imposing (mainly getting the "sweep angle" right going into the first bend). Another one that I find tricky is the double left just before the big dip on Autumn Mini 2 (3rd and 4th last corners).

Turns 1, 2, and 3 at Infenion, right after the start finish line. And there is no way I could link an intire lap in GT4. It's easy in GT3.

 

[dking]

on xlink.....
Apricot hill the long left sweeper that leads to the middle straight in an nsx
SSR5 the tunnel...in a skyline gtr r33...
most of the double apexs have been hit at least once.

 

[Small_Fryz]

I just managed the double apex in GVE2 so thats probably my hardest single drift ive done, and the 270 is probably the longest.

 

[RX-7 FD Drifter]

if its just one turn, then the BIG sweeper on Tsukuba
if its linking drifts, I can link all of Trial Mountain all day

I wondered if anybody could do this, i gave it a go but came up a bit short on getting the last dual apex corner. It may be possible but it would be hard to get the speed like you said. Btw i was trying using a 300hp sileighty on n2's.

I see TS gave it a good go!, did you end up making it after all that?

 

[Small_Fryz]

does this (1.1mb) qualify? as doing both the double apexs?

 

[Funkshen]

Apricot Hill.
First Double Apex. linked into the second corner.. then link all other corners untill the long left hand sweeper. about 3/4 of the way through i regained traction.. then shortly lost it again swaying down to the hairpin. Made it through the hair pin.. then could NOT continue linking up the hill.
Ill get the whole track one day i think.

With a little clever braking and not so high angle, that's not impossible at all. I would personally say that the double apex at AH into the right hander or linking the first 2 double apexes into the triple apex at ARM2 would be quite a bit harder than linking these.

 

[Drift_Toy26]

I can do the Grand vaelly section which includes the dual apex corner, its easier on the GVE track tho. Good cars to use are the NSX concept and the S14 Silvia K's. I get a clip for you

[Captain Trips]

now, someone tell me they've drifted turn 1 on high speed ring.

Did it by accident in the CLK-GTR. Have never been able to replicate that stunt since.

I did this (1.1mb), how is that?, if you can do a better job of this section (which i bet you can ) than i would love to see it 👍.

Thanks 👍

Well, actually you regained traction between links, but good try nonetheless... It is very possible to link all 3 of those turns... (2 double apexes into the tight left hander)...

My longest drift would have to be Autumn Ring Mini, linked all the way through 6 times in a row... My fingers started to get sore after the 3rd lap...

 

[ViXeN]

Well, I built my cockpit this weekend, and magic, I can drift again, hehe...

Longest would be the downhill loop on Atumn Ring the whole section in 3rd gear and Apricot Hills long 4th gear left hand sweep...

Those are the longest single drifts.

 

[rsmithdrift]

I have a new longest single drift. Turns 3, and 4 into the tunnel at Trial Mountain Normal
