whys it unbelivable skill, its kids with toy cars, its not real
it cant be easy, but IMO its no different to a kid doing a quick lap on a computer game etc.

doing the same shit in real cars at 100mph is real skill.

No difference in skill IMO just because they smaller. You still have to throttle and steer, just the stakes are higher in a real car.

You think its no more skilled to do it for real than it is with RC cars?

FPMSL! What fucking planet are you on

You ever played with RC drift cars? I have, and they not that diffucult to get drifting around, getting as good as the vid takes a bit of skill, but anyone can get em sideways and hold a drift after about 2mins practice.
We gave a girl who was about 8 a go, and she was doing it jus fine soon as we shown her the controls.

You ever tried the same with a real car? Clearly not either if you think RC drifting is even 1% as hard

If the stakes were the same i'm sure i'd be as good with a real car as a rc one

ie

A big empty circuit to practice on.

The best equipment available to use

No financial/physical worries if stacked it. ( i used be be ace at jumping and downhilling on my mountain bike when someone else paid for my bikes, because I didnt give two shits about crashing )



The only real difference I can see is the potential financial and physical risks of crashing.......neither of which has anything to do with the physical skill of doing it......ie weight transfer and throttle control



I've flown RC aeroplanes and real ones and IMO theres not much difference in skill - apart from the navigation skills in a real one, but in terms of controlling the plane it'self ones no harder than the other.

Mate, ive done REAL drifting and RC drifting, both with relativley basic drift cars, and neither I gave a flying fuck about destroying, if anything I was more worried about the RC car as it wasnt mine.

And trust me, REAL drifting is miles harder, and its properly comical you think its not

Your flying example is balls too, cause im damn sure you wasnt doing fucking aerobatics and shit, flying normally and being in the red arrows is worlds apart, im sure
But doing some stunts with a RC plane will take skill, but not fucking red arrows skill...

Its great when people give opinions on stuff theyve never done

Drifting with 4wd and crappy grip tyres is a nobrainer.

Yeah, because drifting with a wheel and a trigger on a remote control is the same as using a steering wheel, clutch, handbrake, and throttle in a 1 ton car

Lucky I dont own one


Anyway it must be piss easy, it only took a 17 kid a few weeks to learn in Tokyo Drift, and his 17 yo girlfriend did a bit of formation drifting in her high heeled thigh boots
