Why 'Reverse drift'?

[Msportvideos]

I am fairly new to this drifting lark and i came across a type of drifting called 'Reverse drifting' and i was wandering what the point in it was because if you do it in drifting mode your points will not count and go down to zero. I can see how it can look good to some people and it probably takes a lot of skill to do it but i dont see the point?

To be fair that does look AMAZING!

Reverse entries? Because it takes more practice to learn how to control a car past 90 degrees, and creates a more fun and precise drift. Nobody uses reverse entries in the Drift Trial because of your point, "if you do it in drifting mode your points will not count and go down to zero". If you here about reverse entries, its usually from people in Drifting Lobbies. Hope this helps out.

Thanks mate!

Its not reverse drift, more reverse entry.

I've seen someone reverse drift in my comp before

i dont think you quite understand?

It's fun to do, looks awesome, and gives you an advantage in competitions.

I know it doesn't work in drift trials because the point system is flawed but who cares? I'm sure everybody prefers drifting with actual people haha

e.g.

It wasn't so much a reverse entry as it was just a huge 90 degree entry at about 120mph entry speed, and yes I made it round the corner. You'll see proof when I release TSS Vid 1 in a month or so

Thats an amazing picture... nice angle

Ffs.

Stop judging drifting by gran turismo 5-s drift mode, thats ********.

You mad BRO!?

You mad BRO!?

He's not mad, he's pointing out fact. The drift mode for GT5 does have major flaws.

 

[gamerone00]

i dont understand the drift mode i will get a 70 degree angle and when i whip the back around a hairpin then it resets my points like i spun out or hit something

Now the continuity of the stupidity in this thread is what makes me rage.

The point system is very deeply flawed. If you enjoy drifting, ignore the drift trial mode as much as possible, and practice in your online lobby instead.

Oh and a massive 👍 To both videos and that picture. I'd never noticed the subtitles on "The Perfect Drift" video before...

"That was against the laws of physics wasn't it?"
"I agree"
"That wasn't 100 points, that should be 120 points!

This also helps to control your car better because if you think about it of you loose control and go past 90 degrees it will be hard to gain control again. If you do reverse drift and you loose control and go 90 degrees it will be easier to gain control!

cool story bro.

You missed the clipping point and your angle upon entry wasn't stable. So its not perfect by far.

To the OP: I don't mind reversy entries, but in comps or tandeming environments they should be forbidden.

That's why I uploaded it as "near" because I knew people like you would have something to say. It's not like it's something you see done perfectly all the time so it's obviously not the easiest thing to do.

I advise to keep your thoughts to yourself for I see no reason to criticize in anyway.

By the way where's your video of a massive entry?

 

[JnDrift]

i dont think you quite understand?

This would be the guy that completed a reverse drift, not just entry. At Fuji.

 

[Biggamehit]

cool story bro.

-HAHAH funny stuff indeed. Its style that is all. I compete in D1 and really its not something that will get you tons of points. More angle yea but reverse entry is not a must. Kawabata just brought to light was has been going on a while in parts of Japan.

This guy is learning to drift..

 

[Suzuki]

Why? Because it makes you stand out and it take a lot of skill to do.

Biggame, your competing in D1 now? Full on, or D1SL, or what? Just curious.

Reverse entries are just one of those things that is blown way out of proportion by the GT5 kiddies. Mainly because you simply can't do it consistently, so to try to do it a lot in real life would get expensive fast. Thus you don't see it much in the real world. The videos people post of their GT5 reverse entries are usually after hundreds of laps of screwing the pooch over and over. You don't see those laps though, you only see the one time they barely pulled it off.

I mean don't get me wrong, that's cool to set a goal and strive for it and everything, but reverse entries do not automatically make you a badass. In fact, both of the GT5 reverse entries posted in this thread are pretty sad drifts. They both understeer upon approach to the corner. Just because it's reverse entry doesn't make it a good drift, it needs more than that. It needs smoothness and consistency. For example on that LayNLow video, the backwards entry was probably his worst drift in the whole video, yet he made it the focus of the video.

This forum is so shallow sometimes it makes my head hurt.

.... Why?
I think its kind of gimmicky more so than a show of driver skill. I've seen a few do it, but most of the time they end up in a wall.
