Do you consider this drifting?

[Drift For Food]

It kind of depends if it's more of a show style of drifting or a race style of drifting. If his goal was to maintain speed, he may not drift much. If he wanted show, you'd probably see him sideways quite a bit, but he'd be a little slow. It's a matter of what HIS intentions were.

regardless of the quality of drifting, the video sucked, shot poorly very very short. it was like 40 seconds stretched to 60.

It was dumb. you can barely even see what little drifting there is to be had because the camera angle sucked.

If Drifting is only Drifting if you get sideways before the turn then not much Drifting impresses you does it.

Also if any monkey can do the E-brake yank, then video tape yourself doing it. It isn't near as easy to hold it with E-brake as you think. I especially want to see the video of you sticking the rear end into a ditch. That's gonna be a good one.

didnt consider it drfting at all. i agree that the slide comes before the turn. also, for Misthael, TSi turbo talons only come AWD.

I second that, he is probably better than MOST people on this forum.

You can clearly see that drifting--in this video--is much slower than grip driving would have been......

dsm

Thanks. That's good to know, but how can you tell it's a TSi? There's a TSi in Owasso that goes to the test and tune drags occasionally. Not any good though.

that smoke is because both the car is sliding tail out and because he is yanking the e-break and there not moving...

lol does it matter? Just cause there FWD you guys jump on it like it the worlds worst thing. Let em drift there FWD. RWD will blow thru em like nothing. Sometimes you just gotta let go...

Depends on who's driving that FF. Some vids of some bad mofos Drifting FF's on this site. Doubt anyone here can come close to it.

See topic........ http://www.drifting.com/forums/showt...4999#post44999

Now, when you guys talk about drifitng requiring sliding before a turn, what exactly does that mean?

Does that mean that I need to be sliding before the road turns? before the apex? Before I want to start turning?

Well, that is just silly!! Why you ask? Because, a turn is not defined by the markings on the pavement or the shape of the asphalt on the terrain but by when you initiate and end the turn.

You may begin turning well before or well after the pavement turns. AND, it is IMPOSSIBLE to drift without turning and therefore IMPOSSIBLE to start drifting before you turn. AND, because a turn starts when you start it, it is IMPOSSIBLE to drift before a turn.

I really wish everyone here would THINK BEFORE they type.
