I mean drifting for sport, like getting judged at some car show in socal. Also drifting on a track because some magazine says its fast, gay.

Drifting is lame. Its a sport created specifically for fan boys and ball riding…

Sport and competition go hand in hand.
I consider drifting a motorsport, just because a winner isn’t defined by a stopwatch doesn’t mean it isn’t something people compete at- a sport. For example a majority of the “X-Games” competitions are based on judgment… how they appear to others. Are all X-Games events not sports either? I think a lot of people would disagree.

to me… drifting looks like fun, not sport.
its a sport because people like to watch it and it sells lots of tires 😃
i used to crash into toll bariers at over 250 kph
and i survived

its not that hard to do what your doing. it seemed like most of the time u ended up spinning out or it was just a bit of ass sliding. i mean w/e, if thats your thing then cool. but iv seen many GT3 and GT4 “drift vids” that looked a whole lot more like drifting than that did.
ie.

Remember the good old days when saying you do something implied real life by default? :lol:
Drifting in a video game is not drifting. Kind of like how hanging out on an internet forum is not the same as having friends. :biglol:
Either way, drifting is the cheerleading of motorsports. :gay:

Drifting is very much like cheerleading, unfortunately, but at same time hockey has turned into boxing on ice.
As far as GT3 video you posted. GT3 was far easier to drift in and get lots of smoke and remain sideways for extreme periods of times because of different physics. The video you posted of GT3 was one of the worest GT3 videos I’ve seen. GT4 is a whole different animal because of the more real life feel from physics. GT4 actually seems to have loads of understeer because of the tires lacking in grip because entry speed is to fast or what not.
I’d also like to throw out there that GT4 drifting still isn’t it real, it is more real then madden or tony hawk because in GT4 your actually using a wheel and pedals. Tony Hawk doesn’t actually have you using a skateboard that flip and shit. Now I’m not saying that is real life or that means I can drift in real life, I’m just implying that its closer to real life then other games mentioned.

:lol:
GT4 drives NOTHING like real life. Especially not at the limit. You can just pound away at the gas and steer in GT4 and do a miracle lap. To compare GT4 to realistic physics would be like comparing flying on a commercial flight to “going into outer space”

I meant more real life compared to GT3. GT4 is closer then GT3.

This thread kicks ass. I sent it to 5 people already. It’s cool you like the game and get together to play, but having never mentioned it was a game before is highly miseading :lol:
FYI. I tend to find the people who “knock” drifting either have FWD, or tried and horribly sucked at it. I don’t go around saying I’m a drifter, BUT for those who have tried and took responsibility instead of doing a donut, find they can actually learn a thing or two on handling their car, and may come in handy one day in saving your precious body panels.
But yeah, video game, too funny. 😃

Organized drifting is gayer than aids (D1 shit), but sliding around is plenty of fun. I just can’t get into the stupid exhibitions of it and the utterly retarded “wagging” down the straights.
