Grip Vs. Drift?!

@Hoogie82

If you are going fast enough the back end should be drifting no matter what. Unless you are pushing the edge of traction you are not driving my friend.

i love grip! I dont like the entire judging aspect of drifting cause it can be bias like i have seen at Cayuga!! Example: man spun twice and still won you know he had a friend judging the drift contest that day!!!

Road Racing you spin your in the back of the pack and have to EARNNNNNN getting back to the top, nobody can be bias there.

Yea I don’t think too many people can argue with that that. I saw the same thing at the last cscs event.

@Polar_b16

If you lose traction you lose speed idiot… just cause your speedometer says 160km/h when your tires are spinning out of control does’nt mean your going 160km/h

Yea, but if you’re going around a tight corner in first on grip, and that same turn in second while drifting, it doesn’t necessarily mean if you’re going slower, even if your tires are spinning.

Drifting is faster but only if you live in japan, drive on a mountain and have tofu in the back of your AE86.

Grip obviously faster on tarmac/pavement lol… already been stated so whys this still alive? If anyones ever seen clay track racing they drift every turn, also good on gravel. I doubt its good on granular sand or terrain climbing. (I could be wrong, someone try to drift up an inclined plane for science, please.)

LOL +1

Anyways, you’re right about grip being faster on tarmac/pavement. It’s already been mentioned above. Some people are still idiots and think that you can be faster if you’re drifting through turns on pavement.

Actually, the fastest way around the track is to either:

a) convert your car into a hovercraft and drive off-road
b) add wings to your car and fly around the course
