Those aren't slicks and that's not drifting.
And as far as I know from looking at the pictures of what racing, sports and comfort tyres are from gt5, Comfort tyres are fully street legal tyres which has a tread wear rating of 140. Which is not what's in the picture of Sports category. Sports tyres are typically semi slicks like R888s or something witch lower than 140 tread wear. And we all know that racing tyres are full slick tyres with a tread wear of 0. I know those pictures are just put there to differentiate but you have to know why they choose those tyres to represent that category. I'm just giving you guys an idea of what each tyre is supposed to represent in the real world. They're not accurate but it's close enough to say that comfort tyres are below 140 tread count. Note that in real life some people put semi slicks in front and lower grade street tyres in the rear. If the front tyres are semi slicks it doesn't mean the rear has the same.
If you want to drift sports or racing tyres because you think it's the more realistic tyre then I'll have to ask if you've ever drifted in real life. It might be fun sliding out of the corner with slicks but it's not drifting
For crying out loud.
I never once said id been drifting on slicks.
Sliding, yes.
I never once said drifting on sports or racing tyres was more realistic.
You didn't re-read my first post that you quoted.
When did I claim to be 'drifting' on slicks with 4wd?
The video shows a car setup for grip, on sticky 'semi slick' tyres, sliding around, in what looks like a very fun driving style.
I even said in the post, it's not 'drifting' as you would expect to see it at the EDC etc, and explained, quite clearly, that I was sliding in a tarmac rally style.
What's wrong with you?
It's guys like you, that are too narrow minded, that are ruining drifting IMO.
When did I ask for an explanation of the tyres?
I'm fully aware of what they're supposed to be representing.
Go watch the driftworks film, 'outsiders in Japan', got some great culture, and it explains how European drifting and Japanese drifting differs in style and ethos.
The pure fact that the Japanese do it differently to what you would see at a euro comp, proves that there is no be-all-and-end-all of drifting.
Drift what you want, on what you want, where and when you want.
I said in my first reply that 4wd takes great care to use on the same track as rwd, but it's not impossible, for a few skilled, courteous drivers to have some mixed group fun.
I even conceded and included the fact that I had been drifting a stereotypical drift car before my moment of madness with the impreza.
I don't understand why it's so much of an issue, if some bloke who plays a video game, wants to do something that has been intended by the game designers.. Not exploiting or glitching, just using provided options.
If you wernt aware, all tyres, even the front of a motorbike, will be sliding to a certain degree, whilst cornering. It's called slip angle, and is what causes a tyre to change direction.
