More angle = more fun?

She attacks me and i should be quiet? Of course not. Besides, are you her lawyer? Don't think so.
 
Seriously, can you both drop the pot shots? Every thread I read and you two are having a :censored:fight over something :lol:

:lol: you're not wrong, but I still feel there's a preference there.

A good drift will have nice speed and nice angle, but I notice some people lean more towards getting more angle and some more towards getting more speed.

It's interesting to see where the preference lies, at least to me 👍

Well depends on the corner honestly, I don't mind a slim angle and more speed and same goes for a larger angle and slower speed, drifting is drifting 👍
 
Angle always, getting the closest best drift you possibly can is what I strive for not massive speed
 
Evertime i read topics about drifting styles, the biggest/largest/greatest angle is the highest goal. So i asked myself, WHAT is the right angle, or better asked which amount (maybe in degrees?) of angle is the "right" angle to call a drift a good drift?
And what kind of setup do one need to achieve this "biggest/largest/greatest" angles?

To have in mind that there is a limited range from straight (zero degrees) to an angle where you spin out (over 90 degrees [not talking about backward entries, rather about mid-drift]).

I think the best drifts are the most consistent ones. I Practice my consistency to the max. Let's put it like this: First I go for linking corners decently. Than, I strive to follow the same line, (pretty much), every lap. If I can pull that off, I focus on getting my angles, between 45 and 60 degrees for most of the drifting. That's the easiest for others to follow.
 
I never get speed, ever. I'm terrible at speed drifting so I go for angle, which I'm good at. I've tandemed with every good crew out there, they go faster than me but I get more angle.

It's kind of infuriating actually. Nobody can tandem with me, so I'm always alone drifting because everybody just wants to get the fastest lap time.

Usually if I see a guy trying to be faster than everyone else, I beat his time and continue doing my big angle drifts as I watch him pass me lap after lap going try hard.

A good drifter can go fast when he wants and get big angle slow drifts when he wants. That's when you truly know your car.
 
I personally enjoy both. I like "showing off" and going fast.

ANGLE!! Everyone who knows me has that figured out lol. Although I do agree that speed and angle are work partners; I think that angle is a more enjoyable way of drifting. I find that the feeling of you going to the point right between spinning and a perfect angle is just priceless; you feel on the edge of the cliff.. you feel you are on the limit all around every corner no matter where. (IMO)

Lol same here... Now I remember why we used to drift so well together. I keep forgetting to add your new name on my PSN, but I'll shoot you an invite later today.

But mostly...ANGLE !
I'm and Angle addicted and get enough of it. "Racers" need racing tyres. And a Race event.
