Though I partially agree about grip drifting to feel better about themselves by being faster, its just not right to say don't do it lol.
I seen this thing that Keiichi was explaining & physically doing that showed the difference between drifting & grip drifting. To answer your question, grip drifting is an exercise that requires minimum to no countersteer going around a corner.
Sometimes you want to try something different, practice, &/or feel fast, but don't use it as an excuse to "top" everybody that's in the room. If your a good drifter, you should be able to grip drift too. It's kinda fun on Suzuka.

Like Keiichi says, "I drift not because it is a quicker way around a corner, but the most exciting way"

grip drifting....i think most of you have the wrong idea i drive a 550hp rx7 c/s tyres and seem to drift faster than most i initiate earlier and like to drift the whole track there is a fine line between drift and grip....i have over 100 youtube videos most of them are options...but a few are d1 drivers team drifting but at high speeds cars running around 600hp...search uncrowded monarch....
so if the car is smoking the whole track at opposite lock thats a sign of a tight setup...right??👍

Whats next, Tandem Karting (if everyone doesnt tie, everyone loses) or maybe some Drag Touge (race a straight, but make sure to swerve while doing it). lol
They do sound like some young kids trying to fit in, if they are serious enough about drifting they will soon realize.... how wrong they are.

So how come Keiichi Tsuchiya (a professional racer touge or otherwise and the icon of drifting) won a touge race by drifting all 100+ turns? Touge is not solely about drifting, but it is about getting around the turns as fast as possible. In an FR car, that's drifting alot of the time. Or more correctly, powersliding as you aren't looking for angle but speed instead.

If that was to me..
No. It was a video with 2 clips next to each other showing the difference between grip drifting & show drifting. I tried finding it the other day & I just don't remember. I could have sworn it was on Drift Bible but I'm not really sure.

Hey guys uhhh, after reading this thread, i decided to check out a project d room.... whats sad is they arent even kids.. smh.
I watched them to see how they "Grip Drift" and if i was to describe their style, its more or less a sloppy race line with power slides thrown in.

they may suck at it but they have a point.
to me, drifting is about racing on comfort hard tires.
you try to go as fast as you can with as much grip as you can . . . you aren't trying to lose grip but it happens anyway. I drift in time trial mode and the measure of my score is the lap time, I drift almost every corner but my main focus throughout is maximum grip

yeah something like that
my understanding of this so called "grip drift" is that is intended to be the "race drift" in contrast to the "show drift" that most ch drifters run.
when I do ch ( n1 in psp ) race, I always have the advices from initial D playing in the back of my head, for example "Lines are not the objective, but the result of an excellent run"
for this style of driving, I figure you want your car to be set to understeer, so that if you simply coast and turn, you understeer.
this way, when you turn + throttle you do not need to counter steer much and therefore the friction of your front tires aids in changing your direction of travel.
in gran turismo 5 I like the tire temperature in the bottom corner, if all of my wheels turn red at relativley the same time, that indicates to me that each wheel is doing it's part to change my direction of travel.
instead of attempting to replicate the "perect line" lap after lap, I aim instead to clear the corners as efficiently as possible, meaning equally loading all of my tires, and exiting with high exit speed, and CRISP straight exits too. that means, while I am still concerned about my drift angle, I am not concerned about how STEEP I can get it.
it's all about the CRISP fast exits
I guess really it is a mix of what the tandem ch drifters are doing, and what these joker rh drifter wish they could do.
in my opinion "what works good is what looks good"
and racing is about winning .

Here is a link to help you understanding the grip of drift.
take note of how I use my front tires and how I am controlling them.

I ran into a room like this challenging me to race while drift, and the settings were limited to 395 hp and ch. Almost all of my cars are above this(one amg merc that needs rh), so I just switched rooms. I don't understand limiting cars, if it can stay sideways let it in. I am happy in open drift rooms or 1 vs 1comps

funny thing is that D1 & Formula D dont use COMFORT tires. so IN MY OPINION drifting any tires below COMFORT SOFT competitively is wrong. yeah, it would take some getting used to since comfort hards are the most popular but i think people use the because its less effort/skill required to initiate and maintain a drift.
meaning: personally i prefer sports tires to drift.
again, not trolling, just personal opinion

My personal opinion is that you are, like many others, relating a game to real life. Just my personal opinion though, not trolling, just stating.
P.s. Sorry of that sounded ass-ish its just its fairly easy to sit there and say that real life dont use Comfort tyres so its not realistic. Without knowing what tyres they used as a reference for each compund, we dont know what the closest tyre to real life is. Again, personal view.

You guys have to recognize that, of course, this game isn't real life as mentioned above. But it is a sim so some how it does relate to the real world. I say, play a video of a D1 solo run (Fuji or Suzy) & drift on GT5 with it at the same time. Try to see if you guys finish at the same time, a little bit before or after & see what you get.
Just experimenting.
By the way, on this video, fast forward to 0:54:54. It explains show drifting & fast drifting (Grip Drifting).
