The thing that probably confused some of the wankers in the comments section is that up the top it says drift racing.
Does this mean just drifting around the track or drifting but trying to be the first one across the line (although that seems unlikely).
I assume it's just drifting and very nice drifting at that!
It's funny how they don't know what cars they are

No offence freak, but fom what I can read, you were the first guy to start getting personal about your opinion ie. telling people there heads were up their asses and calling them dickheads. Most of the others expressed an opinion, which, although contrary to your own, in a relatively respectful manner.

Well I don't entirely agree with you, I'll say that much. It's just stupid to have debates about which motorsport is the best, or requires the most 'skill' or who has the biggest nuts. I like rallying, that's my thing, but I don't assume that because I'm more rally-focussed that I am a better person than some drifter. It's all just pass-times, I don't think it really changes who you are.
For example - you like to argue -> that is what I would call a character trait, that you also like drifting doesn't change whether you wanna argue or not

sure anyone with some skill and a set up car could link some corners together. But it takes real skill to do it FAST and consistantly all the time, then more skill again to tandem with another car and stay door to door with them.

bathurst, no i have never watched, nor am i racing to a video store to watch some fictional charecter in his AE86. woohoo, it has a cult following........so what.
simon, i do appreciate the skill level in drifting a car especially when you are 2-up, but a major component of the 'drift ' following think that a wee powerslide whilst exiting a corner is classified as a drift and they themselves a calling themselves 'drifters' cos they can get the back out.
fr3ak, i was not referring to the worlds best drivers in the worlds best cars, thats why i made specific reference to the 'F cup" rallying in Finland. mainly rwd,in forests with no notes going full chat,awesome.on a similar level to watching a decent drifter link up the entire length of the local racetrack or a local guy doing 'scandinavian flicks'at 100kp/h at the same track.it all about spectator value, and , because you don't have to trudge through forests to see cars going sideways at 1 minute intervals, is one of the things that make drifting such a popular spectator sport.

That was meant to be a sarcastic joke pertaining the hostility you hold towards drift, with a hint of sarcastic truth. I admire cup rally up there with the main types of motorsport I love (WRC, F1, JGTC, D1). With that said perhaps you should look into the history of drift (as in the japanese historyof it) more carefully.
A quick rundown... In the hills of Japan for the past 2 decades (or perhaps more) but more recently in the last decade amatuer drivers (and in some case professionals) have been having 'touge' runs against each other on mountain passes with fatal drop offs. (simply insane) It is a culture that no one would have ever heard of if it wasnt for an entertaining cartoon. This aside. Enter Keiichi Tsuchiya. A ciruit racer who earnt the nickname 'dorikin' (or drift king) because he actually used to do this (while leading) on certain corners to carry more entry speed (all to pretty much please the crowd). He won several circuit class cups in the AE86 years back. That aside, drift started to work its way into the mountain courses (and the touge races) for pure pleasure...
Imagine a WRC mountain course section. Take away the maps, make it exclusively at night and then add touge format. And you have the first steps of the birth of the "real" drift culture.
Incase your wondering Touge basically means a 2car race. No overtaking (because the courses were simply not wide enough). A driver would win buy leaving his opponent behind. So if your at the rear and you stick with the front driver its either considered a draw (then you swap positions and go again) or in some cases (sudden death) its called a loss to the front driver if the rear keeps up.
It began with a bunch of drivers who were out to have fun for themselves. And now its a big tournament in Japan known as D1. And as it spreads to Australia and certain groups of people jump on board who think its the next autosalon I totally understand that some of the older folk might think its a joke "a wank" or whatever. But dont let people who have stumbled from the autosalon "maccanats" crowd fool you with their "Im a s1k driftah" talk. If you get into the grit of it, you know who is there for what.

With that said perhaps you should look into the history of drift (as in the japanese historyof it) more carefully.
i understand the history of it , but i can't for the life of me work out why people think that tossing a cars sideways pre-apex, is purely because of Keiichi and the crew in Japan, when the rally fratenity have been doing ever since at the day the MK1 esky and Datto's were caning the forests. as far as road position, car attitude and driving styles are concerned drifting and rallying are very similar, so why do people get so one-eyed about the techniques origins. rallying can't lay claim to the methods as they were more than likely borne out of necessity due to slippery conditions, truth be known, the techniques possibly were created in Scandinavia as a way of combating ice/snow/gravel on the way to Church on Sunday. who knows.
you read me wrong actually, i'm not hostile towards drift as a sport,how could i be when you consider that in it's current form it is a mixture of tarmac rallying and circuit racing.the bit that F#$ks me off is all the cling-on wannabees, who call themselves drifters 'cos they have the right stickers and wheels, who cause havoc on the streets but will never be seen on a practice or competition day.

Nope - actually rallying has been around about as long as circuit racing. Although the WRC is actually quite young (I think it started in the late 70's, I don't have the actual date on hand).
The reason drifting cops so much flak is because it isn't based on times - it's judged - which flies in the face of just about every other motorsport. Not that it isn't fast! One of the problems drifting does face is that it has to figure out how to survive as a motorsport despite the fact that road cars are sort of developing in a different direction to drift.

I'd also like to point out that technically drifting is not as fast as 'grip' driving. If you don't believe me, then go out on a race track do a whole bunch of laps both ways, grab a whole shitload of telemetry and then come back and prove me wrong

I don't see the telemetry Yeah it does depend on the circuit too, plus I'm not saying that drifting is ridiculously slow we're talking about maybe a tenth of a second per kilometre given really really good driving either way.

Assumption - the line taken for drifting is usually not ideal due to the amount of space on the road and the shape of a car about it's centre of gravity - hence a drift line is usually slower than the line taken by a non-oversteering car (depending on circuit and shape of the corner). Depends what you class as drifting, mild slip angle on corner entry can be ideal, but generally in drift competition that's not enough to earn you the title of 'drifting' as it appears to be more of a racing angle.
It also depends on what level of tyre tech you are talking about too
I would say it would be very VERY difficult to match the pace of a race-lining car with a drift approach, and there would be very few circuits out there where over-steering through every corner is ideal.

Assumption - the line taken for drifting is usually not ideal due to the amount of space on the road and the shape of a car about it's centre of gravity - hence a drift line is usually slower than the line taken by a non-oversteering car (depending on circuit and shape of the corner). Depends what you class as drifting, mild slip angle on corner entry can be ideal, but generally in drift competition that's not enough to earn you the title of 'drifting' as it appears to be more of a racing angle.
It also depends on what level of tyre tech you are talking about too
I would say it would be very VERY difficult to match the pace of a race-lining car with a drift approach, and there would be very few circuits out there where over-steering through every corner is ideal.

well said that man. now try telling those who think that 'drift' is faster than grip!!!!!
slip angle is very important in any cornering technique, but excess slip ,i.e 'drift' is slower.

what is so ignorant about those facts in the quote by Pro240?
i'm not bagging you , your reaction or drifters/drifter wannabees , but anyone with a car set-up for drifting and an amount of ability can link a few corners together. i'd like to see the reaction when you see in-car footage of some of the 'F Cup' rallying from Finland or any championship for that matter. drifting around a track you have practised on a million times (slight exageration!)is far easier than hurtling through a forest on a basic route book with blind corners/crests, trees ,ditches etc and doing it at speeds well in excess off the speeds these guys are sliding their cars at.

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!!!!!!!!

turboke10 -> You really shouldn't comment on stuff you don't know much about. I think you should withdraw your comment about how a drift driver will not be as good a circuit racer, as a circuit racer would be a good drifter. As far as I'm concerned that's utter shit, and i'm not saying it's "the other way around" I'm saying that good solid car feel, skills, practise, time behind the wheel etc are required by both the good drifter and the good circuit racer. Within a short time either type of driver should be able to adapt to the different use of the car required for drifting or racing.
HOWEVER, at this stage drifting is still small in Australia so I can see how from your personal experience you might think otherwise - lots of the people in even club level circuit racing have had alot more time out on the track and behind the wheel than some of the drift lads have simply because the sport hasn't been around long.
One more thing
Could everyone please STFU with the drift vs. race shite already
I'm tired of 'arguing' about something that is paramount to discussing holden vs ford.

Substitute 'Anal' for 'Ford' and you would have just about summed up perfectly the fun this thread started with originally and the direction this thread has been taken to now.....

FWD: Why would I retract it? I said it because I meant it. Maybe I have hit a nerve with you and that explains the huge font and uncouth suggestions? And to say that I don't know much about what I am commenting on? Well, I beg to differ.
Finally, you seem to be the all mighty advocate for "drifting here on these threads, and I find it amusing that you compare holden v ford debate as such. As far as IM CONCERNED, I didn't realise there WAS a Holden v Ford debate! I just thought that it was something bred into the lower classes of Australia.

Kenneth

I'm not an advocate FOR drifting - I don't even compete in drift events my first love is rallying. However I am an advocate against anti-drifters I've seen enough of these kind of debates on internet forums and most of them are just people trolling about their opinions. Now, you reckon uncouth? - I did say please didn't I ??? I just wanted to get attention so that explains the huge font and red text.
The Ford vs Holden thing is a good comparison because it's not really a debate, just like this isn't really a debate either - it's as bad as religion really, no one really backs their case with anything aside from postulation and some kind of faith in their own way.
You beg to differ that you know what you are talking about? Okay that's cool, so start backing your case with some facts and I'll gladly go out and get some facts for mine...hell I'm sure in your quest for facts you will probably prove yourself wrong saving me the effort.
As for something 'bred into the lower classes of Australia' - that comment just says it all about your attitude towards people with different interests. I mean I'm no V8 Supercar lover nor am I a lover of aussie 'muscle' cars, I think the series sucks nuts and the aussie muscle cars mostly suck nuts, but I don't judge the people who appreciate them and stick them in some box or category that is (judging by your inference) "beneath me". Wake up to the world man -> it's full of...wait for it.....people!
