) but I couldn't help notice the amount of speed 12 being used why are they so popular during seasonal events.

I dont think theyre particularly better than other cars, but maybe people see somone high on the leaderboards with that car and make it themself. I dont think points drifting has been around long enough for a solid foundation of "points cars" to solidify, so people mimic what they see in hopes of scoring high. This is all speculation though, as I dont participate in the drift trials.

Hmm, in events, its a quaifying un and battle runs. So yes, battling is a part of tandeming. And one more thing: I prefer linking whole tracks, then going for max points in sectors.
well "tandem lines" are usually the best drift line. The scoring in the seasonals uses the best racing line....which is not always the best line to drift.

So a tandem line is the best line in a non-tandem drift? right....There is also nothing about qualifiers that has anything to do with seasonals, it's simply put down a score and that's that. The Speed 12 gets used like the Buick Special because they are some of the easiest cars in GT5 to get instant wheel spin added with the fact they accelerate faster than most preferred drift cars. Seasonals have nothing to do with tandems and tandem lines have nothing to do with solo runs.
The best tandem line is the racing line buddy, simple fact: racing line is the fastest, mostly smoothest line through the corner, since everyone seems to think tandems are about speed what other line would you take then the fastest one?

This is absolutely 100% wrong. yea the racing line is the fastest while racing where your tires have grip. But drifting fast an linking corners is about keeping momentum, an to keep momentum it is often needed to say take turn A wider so that you enter turn B with a better angle suited for a drift.

Works the same way in drift buddy, go ask any pro.
the team im in is full of very good drifters an im sure they all will agree the best racing line is not the best drifting line. While drifting you have to think ahead as in how do i want to exit this turn so I can drift this one smoothly, which changes your line often.

What do you think racers do, just guess where they should be for the next turn?
I myself am a longtime drifter both in tandem and solo drift, i'm also one of the fastest racers on GT5, I think my experience speaks for itself.

Truthfully I dont care who you are. I think its kinda obvious that drifting and grip racing are so different that different lines are beneficial to both. If you cant see that oh well your actually starting to look trollish anyway. Dont bother replying its obvious to me your one of the many people on gtp that feel the way they do something is fact an everyone else must yield to them so further confrontation is futile, buddy.

How much for a private lesson? Sounds like you can learn me alot!

Because random rooms are for the most part a joke, full of people in all sorts of cars doing all sorts of things that have nothing to do with drifting. If you ever stepped into an SFX room you would have seen me but I guess rooms from established drift teams aren't your thing.
I'm an aussie and lag causes issues which make me less interested in making lobbies or joining peoples' rooms where connection is a problem. (which for the most part is any room not hosted by an Australian...)
Saleen you got to calm down buddy, doesn't matter if you don't care who I am, the door swings both ways, my placings on the leaderboards prove my experience, your claim of 'my teammates agree with me' means nothing. Please don't accuse me of being a troll, I'm here to help and participate. Until anyone from your team can top me and my friends on racing or drift leaderboards i'll trust my judgement on how it works since it seems I do it better...

The racing line is not necessarily the best drifting line. In drifting there are various 'clipping points' that you should get as close as possible to in order to improve your style. There are areas on tracks where the racing line wants you to stay in tight for the next corner when a drift looks far more stylish following the wall/edge of the track and is harder for a tandemer to follow. Radical lines are the key to overthrowing someone who is used to 'simple racing line drifting'.

I actually disagree. The GT5 section drifting does not take style in to account. It's about angle, speed and racing line. Thats why i cant be arsed doing them, and people... those Cerbera's are CH front and CS rears... i don't actually want to know (anymore) why they score well lol :s

Everytime someone tries to give reason for what they know it's always about how they think they're better these days, I don't brag I try to help and when people question my knowledge I simply give them a run-down of why I know what I know and why I believe it works. Yeh i'm not in GTP division racing because I have had to learn and adapt from a DS3 for a short time to a DFP and now to a G27. If GTP division racers were so fast why is there less than a handful higher than me on the seasonal time trials? No I'm not bragging, once again i'm proving my point.
I try hard on the time trials and proud of my efforts, drifting is more intense and requires specific characteristics of a car to perform better and the obvious facts of the Speed 12 are: 1. tuned right, a Speed 12 can go faster than a veyron from a roll and will down right destroy any other FR in speed, wheelspin and acceleration. Break down the drifting and you will see these matter greatly in the drift trials thus making the car a popular choice. Yes it probably started with one person using that car but once people realised what sets it apart from others they instantly jump onboard. I'm a purist therefore I'll probably never use this car in drift trials but from my past attempts at the drift trials I can tell that a higher HP, faster car will net me much more points. Get an idea of all cars in the game performance wise and there is few aspects of the Speed 12 that better other cars, most of which I or others here have stated and it's obviously for these reasons people use it.

Lol but Seasonal Time Trials are about the best tuner and the fastest driver in one car that outflaws the PP system, if the scoreboards were like GT5P and included stock one make cars then your opinion would be more respected.
No disrespect at all but that's the way I see seasonal events and why I don't participate in them.

This thread got way out of hand. But I agree with him ^. Just to say this ... Everyone drifts different. For instance i drift the inside. While some drift the middle. Also the outside. Its kind of like the racing line.... Everybody does it diffrent
