Drift Competition -Week 48- closed

[Watchman]

Well, it is noticeable that the Picture itself is over sharpened.

You can only use sharpen filters in 2.0 and Free competitions.

Alright. A little bit more contrast should do the trick, though..

I hope not man. even if it doesn't win, it's solid. and realistic too. like someone genuinely lost control.

Thank you very much 👍

FINAL ENTRY

[Lucas]

Very clean, the colours are perfect. There are no apparent rough edges on the car 👍 Excellent drift, by the way. Something many people don't seem very interested to picture in these competitions.

 

[tupacrulez]

I don't get it man....both lancer and S-Line have shots with more realistic drift angles, and longer smoke trails....

how are most people not interested in it?

 

[Lucas]

I know Costa di Amalfi like the back of my hand. Mainly because I race there in the Special Conditions Hall for money. And I also know that to drift that corner with that car, with spoiler, and with N grade tires is something impossible to do. There's no car that can get a very clean drift like the one in the picture. So I'm assuming S-Line used R-grade tires and E-Brake.

realistic drift angles

Realistic? You don't know what you are saying, man. To be realistic, the car should have a much greater angle to ensure he made it through the entire corner.

I vote for the drift itself, not the pic. Honestly, I am quite surprised of the Fiat, because I know that is actually possible with a set of N1 tires and with the replay speed up. But that Spirra... doesn't seem possible to me.

I race there for money every single day and that about 4-5 times.. The Spirra was full tuned, with full downforce front and rear and it was on N1 tyres.. I don't know why not be able to drift the car with the adjustments and equipments, as shown above, in that corner.. Maybe it is difficult, but for an experienced drifter it's a reachable goal, although it's tough.. I did not use E-Brake, I never use it, because I always want to initate my drifts by myself without using it..

Realistic? You don't know what you are saying, man.

He knows what he's speaking about..

To be realistic, the car should have a much greater angle to ensure he made it through the entire corner.

Not always.. It was a full drift through that corner: I initated the drift on the outside of the corner, then I was on the inside at the apex and then I was at a wide angle again, in order to get more smoke being shown.. So tupacrulez is definately right, when he says that the drift is realistic..

I vote for the drift itself, not the pic. Honestly, I am quite surprised of the Fiat, because I know that is actually possible with a set of N1 tires and with the replay speed up. But that Spirra... doesn't seem possible to me.

If it isn't possible, how could I manage the drift then?

A much greater angle? are you daft? a good drifter can hold any angle through the corner, sharp or steep. Not to mention that I can PERSONALLY say that the Spirra is capable of that kind of ass end swing-out on R tires. On N1's, that thing is like driving on butter. No matter what kind of wings and downforce you're running. plus, you should really....really....really stop taking in absolutes, and stop accusing people of "cheating" with their pictures.

 

[Lucas]

A much greater angle? are you daft? a good drifter can hold any angle through the corner, sharp or steep.

Funny, considering the following:

When drifting, it is important that the drift angle of the car [and the associated rotation] be an appropriate match for the sharpness and length of the corner.

On sharp corners it is often possible to whip the car nearly perpendicular to the corner apex and just rely on momentum to carry you to the exit of the corner.

You can't drift two different corners with the same angle if they are the completely opposite. You just made a fool out of yourselve by calling me daft. Like we say in Argentina, "you lost a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut".

Not to mention that I can PERSONALLY say that the Spirra is capable of that kind of ass end swing-out on R tires.

If it's capable of doing it on R tires, why is it that amazing then?

plus, you should really....really....really stop taking in absolutes, and stop accusing people of "cheating" with their pictures.

When have I "taked" in absolutes? Name me at least 6 different times. And that's been generous, because saying "really" once counts as if I had said it more than twice, and you said "really" thrice.

Good job in proving me wrong, Nenad 👍 Honestly, I never tried drifting that car. Maybe because all I used to drift was the S.S. AE86

 

[tupacrulez]

are you seriously getting into an argument on whether or not that drift was possible? absolutes? You said, specifically: "I can't see how it's possible with that car, with a wing, on N1 tires". Also, "it's impossible" was said at least once. maybe I'm just really tired after a long assed day, but those sure as all friggin hell sound like absolutes to me there bud.

here's your post, with the absolutes in question:

And I also know that to drift that corner with that car, with spoiler, and with N grade tires is something impossible to do. There's no car that can get a very clean drift like the one in the picture. So I'm assuming S-Line used R-grade tires and E-Brake.

You can't drift two different corners with the same angle if they are the completely opposite. You just made a fool out of yourself by calling me daft. Like we say in Argentina, "you lost a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut".

Of course you friggin can! stop assuming that people can't do things. As we say in Canada: Instead of letting people think you're a fool, you opened your mouth and proved us all right! Two corners each have an infinite number of lines to be taken, and an infinite number of combinations of angle with those lines. Some angles may need different lines, and some lines may need different angles. if corner X has a radius of 30M, and corner Y has a radius of 60M, then you can drift both @ say, 20 degrees, but corner Y will need variations to the speed and line taken compared to corner X top drift it at the same angle.

You have brought up this "proper" drifting BS before. it didn't work last time, it won't work this time. the drift posted by S line audi fan has a good angle for the corner, has a good amount of smoke, and shows good motion through the corner. that's all that needs to be considered. what setup he used, whether he used power over or geared down, or even, yes, pulled the frackin E brake, doesn't ****ing matter . all that matters within this competition is that there is a drift, and the theme of the week is being followed. I'll be damned if I get called on that.

ergh....I don't even know if I'm thinking straight anymore.

[balang_479]

seriously,
codename, do you really expect s-line to go through all the fuss of photoshopping the picture.... looks real to me.
i agree with tupac.

 

[tupacrulez]

he didn't accuse S line of photoshopping it.

he initially said that S line (Nenad I assume) would have had to have used R tires and then pulled the E brake, instead of 'actually' drifting it.

He's on this kick lately that the drift comp's winner should be determined by the best 'proper' drift, instead of the shot itself.

 

[in.s@ne]

The terms on and moving come to mind, not necessarily in that order

 

[Watchman]

I may be drunk, but I know what I'm typing here.. Lucas, it was a pleasure to prove you wrong.. Like tupacrulez has said, an expericnced drifter can hold any angle at any time wherever he wants.. It isn't amazing that you can do it with the Spirra on R grade tyres, that's right, but I did it on N1 tyres..

S line audi fan has a good angle for the corner, has a good amount of smoke, and shows good motion through the corner. that's all that needs to be considered.

Thanks

he didn't accuse S line of photoshopping it.

That's right.

he initially said that S line (Nenad I assume) would have had to have used R tires and then pulled the E brake, instead of 'actually' drifting it.

I drifted it on N1 tyres and without E-Brake.. Why is it so hard to understand that I can do it, Lucas?

He's on this kick lately that the drift comp's winner should be determined by the best 'proper' drift, instead of the shot itself.

True.. I don't know what's going on, but all this seems strage to me.. The winner should not only be determined by the best "proper" drift, but by his shot overall.. I can't change anyone's opinion.. I can just say: Vote for the shot that you like most and that's all..

 

[jinjinweiwei]

Wow you guys. calm down! it's only a game, "why so serious?". we don't expect anyone to be a drift king here (heck if I had a penny every time I used e brake lol) so as long as the shots are good, leave it alone. we will let the poll decide and we can give comment and critic there in the poll.

 

[Lucas]

He's on this kick lately that the drift comp's winner should be determined by the best 'proper' drift, instead of the shot itself.

I will vote for the best 'proper' drift. I will always vote for the best 'proper' drift. It's a matter of like. I like to vote for the best proper drift, and no one can deny I don't. Last time, however, I voted for Swiss Legend because the pic seemed a much higher quality than the Silvia pic. In this competition, however, the best captured drift so far is indeed S-Line Audi Fan's.

All in all, you were right. I was indeed wrong: Yesterday at almost midnight I took a stock Spirra in arcade mode with N1 tires and boy... that thing does slide its rear end pretty well. I actually gave it a try on the same corner that Nenad used for the picture and now I can say for sure it is completely possible, and something rather easy, I should add. I never thought a car could get the read sliding that easy 👍 I don't like the car, though. Too much "things" on it.

Anyways, I hope you accept my apologies

Nenad, I actually never tried to drift the car. Hence why I thought it was a "fake" drift. I apologize to you too


Here's my aport to the competition, by the way.

Final Entry​

Hope you guys like it Pretty fun car to drift stock on N3 tires.

 

[jinjinweiwei]

^ now that's the right spirit!

 

[Lucas]

Thank you I was eager to drift that car for a while.

EDIT: Perhaps you meant my apologize?

 

[speedemon08]

my entry should be soon, as computer was having probs again

 

[jinjinweiwei]

Thank you I was eager to drift that car for a while.

both.

P.S. gee when did I become a senior member? I feel so old...

 

[tupacrulez]

water under the bridge (or smoke over the tarmac i suppose?)

Codename: the spira is easy to drift because it's a rear bias car. it's 45/55 weight balance.

 

[Watchman]

I will vote for the best 'proper' drift. I will always vote for the best 'proper' drift. It's a matter of like. I like to vote for the best proper drift, and no one can deny I don't.

Good to hear that there's another person liking my picture 👍

Good to hear you tested it and found out I'm no liar.. Also, if you've tuned the car fully, it would be an even better drifter for sure.. Well, it's harder to initial and control the drift, but it's better overall, for me at least.. Maybe because I love challenges ..

Anyways, I hope you accept my apologies

Nenad, I actually never tried to drift the car. Hence why I thought it was a "fake" drift. I apologize to you too

Yeah, first try yourself and then come to a conclusion, that's all advice I can give you.. Apologies are never necessary.. I don't forget, but I can forgive 👍

Here's my aport to the competition, by the way.

Hope you guys like it Pretty fun car to drift stock on N3 tires.

Yup, it looks good 👍

 

[tupacrulez]

Codename L: nice entry 👍

 

[Lucas]

Sorry to bump this, guys, but... poll?? Anyone?? I'm sorry, but this is the competition I like the most, I would like this one to end so we can start the next one right away
