Whats the biggest angle you guys have ever seen??

I drifted my evo7 the other day and was more than 90 degrees out from the direction of travel with my thumb to the floor and counter-steering and it pulled out,speed didnt scrub off TOO much so it didnt look like a spin out,it was immense,wish i had USB memory stick to get pics onto my PC

Any1 got any pics of 4WDs goin round a corner at angles as huge as this
 
If it's recover I think it will be slow.
It's up to personal taste though. I prefer big angle on corner entry and zero angle on corner exit.
 
posted this in the finals. This easily over 90º...who says it has to be AWD?

Yes, I completed this drift.
 
I even drifted at about 115 degrees.

This was with my R32 GT-R. I drifted in Deep Forest, and came to a two-turn left to right combo. Consecutive drift, but I went at a giant angle as soon as I steered right. Then I countersteered and straightened out.

The corner was cleared and I did not spin out.

drifting at over 90 degrees is pointless...

needless to say, drifting at very high angles with a AWD car is impossible in this game. I mean, people can pull of these high angle drifts at little tiny hairpins, but never on big sweeping turns like the one at apricot hill (turn 6)
 
I don't know man. Mine is on a fast turn. You should check out FBI's Drifting For Pro Vol. 4(?) if you want to see an AWD do some large angles on long sweeping turns.

Show me any AWD drifting footage at 90 degree angle doing a long sweeping turn...for instance the big lefter at apricot hill...(the one after the double apex in the beginning).

It's impossible...


Fast turns are different. They can't be compared to long sweeping turns...
 
Ok, I can do better. First turn on High Speed Ring. As I said before, FBI: Drifting for Pro 4. I understand what you are saying, but AWDs great for high angles. I'm going to try some big angles so I can test out my capture card :)

I think you're missing the point. High angles are more than possible.


I'm saying you can't do 90 degree angled drifts.
Sounds like you're saying it's possible?
 
Pictures aren't as good as videos because they could have just shot the picture doing crazy angle then crashed..

Edit.. uh.. high angles are fun! but on a wheel.. oh man arms hurt

I see what you are saying. I know the laws of physics say that, but I still want to try it.:sly:

Actually, I've done it. I was about 95 degress through mid-apex, and recovered just barely at near the end of it. I was driving my favorite AWD in the game, the Falken★GT-R.

You've gotta be joking. Turn 6 on apricot? I'm talking about the long lefter, not the first double apex.
 
Niels
Turn 6 on apricot hill is an exception anyway, it's a difficult corner to take completely.

It's not a difficult corner by itself, but I'm saying that no AWD car can drift for that long of a corner at 90 degrees... and others are saying it's possible.
 
The only way I could think of that being possible is if they got a LOT of speed, and then slid the whole way through, but I think if someone had enough speed to drift it at 90 degrees, then most likely they would go off the track.
 
off topic, but I dont really get wut "Blue lights make your car faster, because the blue light rays are more aerodynamic than standard white/yellow lights. (Thats why BMWs are so fast)" means? Dont a lot of cars have HID lights too??

Edit: like M-benz, Audi, Nissan...
 
Best thing I've ever done is "drifting" a 330 HP Supra RZ around the long right before the left hairpin on Fuji, drift was about 90 degrees from beginning to end.

At first I thought, OK now I'm dead but for a reason I just kept it flored and when suddenly I started to sense the countersteer effect (I dunno, I just did) I steered back towards the right ending up perfectly in the left hairpin.


Offcourse, I didn't captured this as I wasn't thinking about it and I haven't done it since again.

Bleh... I got a 22B more than 90 degrees sideways on the 3rd turn of trial mountain, that big left turn right after the little rise on the hill...

And that comment on the blue lights... sounds more like people making fun of the ricers that put the fake HID lights in their Civics. The lights do nothing to increase speed. Though blue does have a shorter wavelength, it travels at the same speed the rest of light does in vacuum.

Again, that turn is nowhere near the length of the turn I mentioned.
 
....where'd that lights comment even come from... off-topic posts usually spawn from the thread topic. That one is just straight outta left field....


the only way you'll possibly navigate a turn at high angles (like, >90*) is if it is a short kink that you absolutely fling the car into as hard as you can. The power is necessary to recover the car from the ridiculous angle, but it doesnt actually power you through the turn.

If you try that on a long turn you'll stall before the finish, no ifs about it. The drive wheels are pushing the car back towards the entrance of the turn, not the exit. You should keep the car pointed more or less forward and power your way through the turn.

I think there's nothing the least bit impressive about obtuse angles on short kinks and bends. To me it just relects a misunderstanding about what it means to drift. At over 90* (and probably at anything past 70*) you are physically incapable of pushing the car around a turn. All you're doing is setting the car into a high speed slide, and then using the gas to help recover from it. A drift [imo] requires that your gas be used to maintain the slip angle and keep the car in motion towards the corner exit.

Well said. That's what I've been trying to say :ouch:
High speed "flings" at 90 degrees aren't really drifts. Good call BL.

If you have seen me sigs before, you would know that it is a joke.
