it just looks like, there was not enough traction with the front tires. he is just getting pushed to the side. or he just went to fast for the size of the corner. ---

i know lots of people who go drifting with bald tires in the rain and they dont spin out all the time. race line bla bla, just make it look good, thats all that counts. if you want to go fast dont drift. ---

Bald rubber certainly affects how the car handles in the wet… and you definently have to take it a little more easy… A good race line makes it look 50 times better… clipping a close apex makes any drift better then someone not trying to… Like wise, getting as close to the outside as you can has the same effect… It’s intuitively obvious…[/quote] it does affect it, but if it makes it near impossible for you to hold a line or you keep spinning out, chances are its probably the driver that is doing something wrong, i have drifted on tires with no rubber actually on them with just the belts scraping on the ground and still remain in complete control with 2 other cars blaring 10 feet behind me. when i was younger and i was learning how to skateboard, i sucked… so naturally i would blame the equipment, throw my board around. blame the grip tape or my shoes or the heat yadda yadda yadda, but that only counted for a small part of the problem, i just wasnt doing it right. Shouldnt you learn to consistantly slide first before you try and get the race line… i dono it just makes more sense to me.
