S line, that shot blows my mind.

S line, that shot blows my mind.

Thanks, but as far as I see, you're the only one who voted for my entry and I very appreciate it 👍

 

[Lucas]

I really don't know who to vote
I would go for the Corvette, because I can only think of it as the only car that is drifting per se, I would bet my money that everyone else just pulled the e-brake, and took a fancy shot. Just what I think, but I think I will inevitably be criticized.

 

[tupacrulez]

I absolutely did not.

I threw a crapton of downforce to the front, none to the back, and then tied a fat man to the rear wing after painting him invisible (ballast).

It took NOTHING to throw that car into a drift.

Thanks, but as far as I see, you're the only one who voted for my entry and I very appreciate it

Don't worry about it, not a single person has voted for me. Ah well, Ceiling Fan, Senamic, Swiss and you definitely got me beat.

It will be criticized because...it was just complete speculation.

I was completely drifting the Speed 8, I never used the e-brake (even with the other shot in submission thread). It didn't need it. And even if someone did use the e-brake, when has that not been allowed to drift a car? As far as I know, even the professionals use it sometimes.

And...I wish I had chosen a better shot...or something. Whenever I am the most proud of the shot, it gets the least votes. XD

i never use e-brake either. no ASM or TCS, front downforce and hard tyres on the back and lots of POWERRRRRR!!!!! then turn certain corners and walah!

That shot comes from a Mission (I guess 17, but I'm not sure!) and I just overdrove the car so that it started to drift.. I can definately drift race cars without the e-brake.. If you want, I can proove it with a video.. And as we all know: You can't change any settings in "Mission cars", so that was with driving aids 👍

Ok, my bad, I should have said it a different way, but the correct thoughts I should have said would be "How can I know that those drifts were actually drifts, and not a fancy slide that could end the wrong way?". That is, the drift was not so good of a drift, since driver lost control at the end of it. As I said, I can be criticized, but that is my opinion, and I will stand for it.
Think D1GP, for example. "Great, long drift! I can't believe he- Oh, God, he lost control of it! It doesn't matter, the drift was so cool!"

 

[tupacrulez]

I hardly think that some of the crazy angled drifts shown in nearly every week for this comp are actually completed.

I should point out that this is drifting photography competition. It's not a competition of who did the greatest drift - it's who can take a photograph of the best drift they can muster.

In my shot, I did drift it with just pure power - and I did hit the wall a bit at the end, but that's mostly because I was impatient and not using my wheel. I don't think anyone should be penalized because they didn't complete the drift - that's not the point of this competition.

 

[tupacrulez]

I was saying the same thing a bit more sarcastically longbow.

It's hard to read sarcasm when it's written without knowing the other person and their intent. XD

 

[tupacrulez]

no problem. I generally read anything on the internet that could be sarcasm, as sarcasm.

I try not to assume that much.

Whoa, thanks guys!

 

[Boffin]

I think the two LMP cars shouldv'e got more votes (IMO)

S-Line - that is a cracker of a shot - it's what I voted for - and props for managing to: A. Drift it, and B. drift it with driving aids. I can't drift to save my life after playing GT5P.

I also think the Bentley should have got something too - it was a close runner up for my pick

Thanks man! I'd've turned them off, if I could, but hey it was a mission.. However, it wasn't that hard drifting the R8 in Mission 17, as it's easy to overdrive the car.. But controlling the drift is difficult, but I succeeded 👍

 

[Swiss Legend]

congrats ceiling_fan!

Thanks!
