My point exactly. Most circuit drivers could set their car up to "oversteer badly" (not handle) and execute the same displays as a competent drifter. They would probably get bored of being slow after an hour or so and set the car up to actually go round a corner. OK the D1 guys may be better at it, but the circuit racers would be closer to the front in drifting, than say if the average drifter tried his ar her hand at a club day in ipr. I have come to the conclusion that drifting obviously has its place in Australia. Something I before didn't. (due to the growing popularity). But if someone actually tries to state that drifting is a fast way of going round a corner, I'll laugh myself to death. I will admit that to the young masses, it probably looks "cool" or "fully sick". And it is for this reason I believe its popularity is growing. I suppose one thing that sort of upsets me is that the people drifting, believe as I have seen in other discussions, that drifting is cheaper than other forms of motorsport. I saw quoted elsewhere that drifting is a display of the combination of drag, circuit(?), rally, and smash up derby? Really! That sounds like an expensive exercise to me!! People that believe that they have real talent behind the wheel (and Simon, you surely could be one of these), would be better off investing in a decent set up ip car, and running their local state series, and try to win that series! You never know, it could lead to higher forms of Motorsport, and one day you might get paid to drive!!!!!!!! Kenneth [Updated on: Sun, 13 February 2005 09:00] [Report message to a moderator]
