I think to make the car enter U turn in grip there is a lot of slowing down as to not lose traction. lol ^^ cal’s expression exactly? I’d assume you’d have to slow down close to the speed of a person gripping it wouldn’t you? I’d think if your not your going fly right off that U, but not to say I don’t think a bit of over steer hurt anyone’s times?..just don’t think traditional Drifting is the way to put it? But I support having angle and over steering thru some turn i think it also has reference to what your driving too right, and for the guys who say rally drivers only hit those angles on the dirt that a misconception a prime example is the X games they have that bit of road course most divers are giving good angle through those road turns where it is appropriate just as well as dirt, again I believe it more of what your driving and where exactly is it accruing on the course your doing… [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIj3GJBP7uc](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIj3GJBP7uc) ^^^Xgames example Just my 2 cents, --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/grip-vs-drift/126492)._
