ok, now when we say entry speed of 80. is that included in the after braking? or before braking? are you sideways at 80km/hr? 120km/hr seems a little fast no? i guess im too noob =P. the reason me saying is that on drift bible his entry speed was 120, but after the braking and all, it was around 70-80km/hr. just wondered by wat definition “entry speed” meant. ---

ok for example on nelson corner 1 (not 0, 0 is the first long curve), you would be approaching at say 150 ? than you brake to 120, that I consider entry speed because at that speed I would use brake drift and feint (i dont think about what i do) and you slide and you end up coming around 80 km/h if you catch grip, or if you link it into corner 2 yuo come out around 70km/h, the third corner i would just floor into gonig around 120 rite before it starts to curve in, its downhill, you are on the outside and you let off and it slides and you coutner and you floor it and apex it and increase angle because the curve becomes sharper you dont want to fly out… ---

I’ve never really considered the KA “torqy”. When you guys refer to it that way it sounds a little weird but I guess it makes sense when compared to other 4-bangers. What do you guys consider “high” entry speed? I find the only way I can get a good drift going is if I hit the corner at +80km/h. This is in a KA, mind you.
