Just lately I have noticed most competitions are getting faster, so much so it feels as though its becoming practically who can drive the section fastest. Anyone else think this way
Is it just me?

I think it's only natural that things start to get faster. Guys/girls that have been drifting/racing in this game for the past nearly 3 years have got their tunes down to a science. It's only natural that the start getting faster and smoother, otherwise it defeats the purpose of competition. It's true to all sports in real life, they get better and faster.

Stands to reason it's also an extension of hybriding, with some of the cars that have gotten a reputation of being slower given the opportunity to get a bump in grip and therefor speed.

I have been seeing alot of insanely fast drifters recently. Speed doesn't interest me in drifting, i prefer angle. Most of these people using these super fast hybrids make mistakes in comps. Just keep on line with nice angle and it won't really matter how fast they are when there line and angle sucks or when there trying to chase you and have to trail brake the full section lol.

I get that speed plays a role in drift, but only to an extent. Whats speed without angle abs hitting the clipping points? It's racing. And that is not the point of drift. I'll keep my slow crossfire and keep that angle and smoke rolling. I'll save the racing for the league I race.

Track knowledge is critical especially if you want a clean and yet fast section. The section that we did at london was a very technical and hitting the corners at the time is essential for a smooth line.

That is true for any track in any form of racing. Drift though, its more then just about hitting points, its about style, and style can't be rushed.

I was told to have lost the advantage in one run because I apparently 'stalled'.
I ran a snappy transition and went big for one of the S bends of Suzuka, still made the corner with the angle, kept the wheels spinning and didn't run off the track or ruin my line. It's as if people have forgotten what makes an awesome drift.

It's just you.

Ok. I THINK, I know what you are on about. There's a difference between holding angle through a corner holding the speed and line and just throwing it in then correcting - (meaning reducing massively angle to clear the corner and get the speed back up.) losing massive speed. That effectively messes up the guy behind
That is stalling the guy behind out. It's not an awesome drift if I'm honest.

There is no way to know that for certain though.

They don't. Look at the turbo/boost code in hex before and after the swap; same turbo's! It only changes the engine.
Also, it already has Stage 5 weight, haha. I'm 99% sure you can't "hack" the weight anymore, if you mean by use of the weight multiplier.
I could use the 2J turbo's by hexing them in, but I thought it might be an interesting combination.
Your boost gauge might react differently, but that's just because of the new engine.
The turbo code/boost code does not change when you engine swap unless you manually adapt it.
The 4 (or 6 if you count hidden parts) turbo's that you can buy in game will be tied to the body code of the car, not the engine.
Trust me.
