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.

For a reference for a certain compound compared to each tyre. The SLS AMG challenge used Comfort Softs, the SLS I think uses a Continental Street tyre in real life.

That seems about right. I wonder why more people don't tune for cs tires as it's way closer to what they use professionally and what the games' drift cars come with stock.

Okay i am from project do and this is all i have to say. 1. Tunerfocus all you was using was awd raly cars. 2. White smoke gang you joined our room and started laughing and trolling because we was using Sports soft.An on the abs thing we have never said abs is for noobs because i know for a fact. Some of project d's drivers have their abs turned up more than 1, but i personally run it at 1 or off. So have a good day and bye.

Well, now that I've found wi-fi, I can rightfully defend myself. For starters, I didn't make fun of anyone in the room, if anything, I was the target of all of the mockery. They continued with talking about there style of drifting being real drifting & the only way to drift & only noobs drift on CH's & it requires no skill to drift on them.("Oh really, go get an ACR Viper, tune to 1000+ HP, put CH's on that beast & tell me it takes no skill to drift that over SH's.") By the way, before you all critisize me about that example, I don't super tune cars like that for drifting, I infact try to keep the cars as stock as possible, only adding HP when needed like with a very fat DB9, yes fat...that car is very overweight, but I love how well it drifts & by the way, I started drifting that car on SC's...CH's are just more fun to me.
OK now, & as far as only using AWD rally cars, thats not entirely true. After them talking so much crap about me just because of my style of drifting, they had the nerve to say he probably can't even race, let's smoke this fool. So, after this was said, you all can guess, I was pissed & determined to beat these jerks at their own game, so I went & tuned my race modified Impreza, & got 2nd place only to an Amuse S2000. I can't remember all the cars I ended up using for there so called "Grip Drift races," but I did make an attempt in a Spyker, & I used only one Ralley Car.

Lol why so defensive? Look just do what you do....No excuses, No explanation. If you feel wronged just leave the room.
 
This cannot be a real thread... I refuse to believe it. Grip Drifting????? Are we serious right now. The name alone is a double negative. On top of all of this, there is a name for what they are doing and it is called power sliding..smh 👎

Do you REALLY know what you are talking about? Power sliding IS Drifting man. Where are you getting your info?
 
BTW I think Grip Drifting is the wrong term to use.....Keichi Tsuchiya when he used to Race would Drift, But its still a racing technique. No racer in their right mind trying to win a Race would drift the whole track as Drifting actually slows you down. Please do not use Takumi Fujiwara as an example if you want to argue that point. ;)
 
Definitely for racing on a track, slow in fast out is the fastest way in my opinion.

On the 'open streets', 'grip drift' might be faster to point your car towards the right direction. If you watch the hot version touge battles, they do 'grip drift' in order to point the front of their car faster to the direction which they want to head to.

This of especially true on narrow hairpin type turns where slow in fast out causes you to drop below the power band and don't have a smooth acceleration path.

Oh what a small world its the 35y.o. rammer. Still upset you can't drift the pit lane of Eiger. Is it too narrow bumpy and scary for you?

Drifting is not a racing technique. Optimal rotation of a car around a turn in a race scenario is revered to as slip angle.

What's your problem? What does he have to do with this? It's video game not real life.

The technical term is 'dynamic drifting' when you let the car slide out side the tyres grip capability (so a four wheel slide) whilst going round a shallow corner. It may be used to eliminate severe understeer, only in rare cases though because of the whole, 'spinning off track and dying in a ball of flames' , thing.

Congratulations, ok, bye now.
 
Put it this way, sometimes to take the corner as fast as possible your going to have to throw the car really sideways to match the speed

Throwing the car sideways is hardly ever the fastest way around a corner. There are times when a little tire slip can point the car in the right direction but getting really sideways just scrubs tons of speed.

Depends what corner, your not going to throw your car real sideways threw a long corner and keep up the speed. Its a different story on a hairpin for example

Even in a hairpin the fastest way through is to properly apex. A high power Awd car might not lose a whole lot of time being tossed into a tight corner, but that's out of the question because we're in the drifting section.
 
Yeah there we go just find the perfect apex while your sliding, and sometimes you need to scrub a ton of speed before a corner which is why people start there drifts early. Im talking bout CS.

The Project D kids still thinking there cool. Feel like I just wanna bring out a drift car while there running some grip tires and tap them when they understeer because they can't drive for life. I was in one of there lounges(I'm friends with one of the members who also hate's the team) and the other Project D kids said "Initial D is an honor to us, we're going to defeat everybody on every course". I'm like "......", Initial D may be cool and facts may be real but always trust Keiichi Tsuchiya even though he's Wangan Midnight' and Initial D's Editorial Advisor

honestly i think grip drifting is for those who cannot handle drift trains and tandems basically i wouldnt call it drifting id call it power sliding im with you 100% when it comes to not caring about lap times as long as the drifting is fun
