So releasing the brakes still causes the car to have an acceleration (a negative one here as it will slow down), so the vector they show in the chart on the friction circle will not be zero if you step completely off the gas but the car is still in motion. I think it is important to first separate acceleration and speed. Despite intuition, if your car is going at exactly constant speed and in a perfect straight line, net acceleration is 0, even if the throttle is floored. Centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed so the decrease in speed from letting the gas go should still help as the speed keeps decreasing but it might not be as immediate as one might think.
Yes from experience in the past day 100% sure. Maybe it doesn't impact every game but in gt7 its very noticeable set the string strength to 100% and then 0 to test
Felt this exactly when driving the GT3. once the rear went slightly, going into full throttle with opposite lock only caused the car to gain more angle, which is quite different from how a rear engined car would react. As soon as grip is lost it feels as if the surface switched to a substantially more slippery one and the only way out is oppo fast enough and no acceleration.
Like that explanation. It's like the loss of grip is cumulative rather than peak. So that if you keep the angle and speed the same there is a value that keeps adding up, instead of staying the same. I.e. a quantitative error in the code.

Thing about drifting is if you drift on the lowest grip tires for consistency, say Comfort Hard, with a proper tune, and most importantly a proper driver, the G forces you take around a corner wouldn't be as high as taking it on a race/grip tune typically. The front tires typically aren't as stressed out compared to race tuning. There's also a lot less braking overall for the front tires for a given corner, it's mostly handbrake work for the rear to hold out the angle before corner entry. Add to this about the comfort hard tires, is it was the standard drift tyre for GT Sport, everyone was forced to use it because drift lobbies often demanded it. I'm not surprised the drifters can do what they do in GT7. It's awesome that they also have steering angle kits and other drift-specific parts available, a first for a GT title.
Yup, that's pretty much what it feels like to me. It's like someone tried to make a sim racer out of NFS Physics, lol. That's being a bit harsh but still.
I would really like a video of this happening, my guess is that you are not keeping the speed the same but the throttle and those are not the same. Keeping the steering and throttle consistent through a corner can still increase your speed and that is indeed a cumulative value as you put it here as the centripetal acceleration the tires need to handle is going up with the speed. At one point it is expected that your tires cannot keep up with the grip needed to make that turn at that speed.
As far as I know they do work for games like ACC that don't adjust the wheel rotation settings on a per car basis, but this has changed for ACC PS 5 version so I don't know if it still holds true. However, also as far as I know, it doesn't work for any any of the past GT games or any other game that sets the parameters in-game.
Which is in direct contradiction to PD’s own guide for GT7:
Ah ok. I think you mean spring force no? I don't see string. Surprised it effects the console considering you have to switch modes and on PS4 mode the PC doesn't recognise it
Do you think your favourite game uses a Starfleet issued replicator to somehow get the cars and tracks into that glowy box in your living room? It's math. Add some formulae for calculating track surface and tire grip and such and, yeah, you're right. I would assume every video game ever works like this.
