Close Drift

it's so worth it!

it's so worth it!

mdude like's it.. i hope i can do that drifting.. cool. but i dont have car. maybe i do carnap first dude^^

pick a good car, a good tire, and adjust the suspension, you'll need practice off course, but nothing so great like F1 or indy!

You are somewhat correct Mathslim. And i', not contradicting you. U do need a good car, meanin alot of torque to swing the car properly and also to pull it out of a tight drift coming out of a corner. But u don't really need good tires. Then again it depends what u define as good. Good meaning still road worthy? Yes. But thay are better when a little worn, makes for the sliding easier. And on you third point, Yes. As in everything else lot of practice. Especially in this. Alot of control required, look how close those 2 guys are to each other, but very much still controlled.

nvm then...i stand corrected...so thats how you spell touge

Touge means drifting on a mountain road

i know that...but does it HAVE to be on a mountain?

Touge, translated literally to english means pass, as in mountain pass.

Dont try to be a smartass, the japanese invented this sport...

This was already done in the 70s.

now thats skillfull driving. .. .. .
well cool

All this talk about 'drifting is so cool,, it takes so much skill,, blah blah blah,,'. What a joke. Power sliding has been around for years. We all did it when we were kids because thats how they did car chases in the movies. Go watch any old cops n robbers or action flicks, and you'll see it, especially the cop cars.

It doesnt take any more skill than any other type of driving that takes you beyond normal driving, all you need is a car that can use its own power to kick its own butt around and slide it through a turn. Its fun, it looks cool, but by no means is it 'the next big thing'. Just another re-hash that got a new name.

Some races done on dirt tracks are nothing but 'drifting', the cars never point straight the entire time they go around the track. Sprint cars, outlaws, and many others have done it for years.

You like drifting, fine. But quit worshipping these dudes as though they've come up with something new, because they havent.

yes yes but older than that even!!

and it takes good tyres!

tires are surely important and good grip on the road . But the important thing is of course the drivers talent in handling the wheel and and other controls ..
