Well, thats how it looks on the stills
In reality however it was mainly a day of chronic understeer caused by a total lack of front end traction followed by spinning off when the boost hit.
Phil2400 was managing pretty well in his cossie despite the conditions though with some really good huge sweeping donuts, and JJ was doing a good job of impersonating a complete hooligan as usual
(till his diff broke!)
No one really managed to actually hold what you would call a proper drift though, but everyone had a good laugh which is far more important anyway![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
the fastford drift car actually drove pretty well though, certainly better than any of the YB powered cars on standard cosworth geometry by a mile anyway.
Stavros was also there as well, but I dont have those pics handy as they arent in with the pictures ive taken for fastford mag, will upload a few of him later on though when im next by my camera![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)

Testing the future

look at that chav in his yellow 3 door with fog lights on leaning forward like he probably would if he was driving a nova (if he had one)
drifting is not about needing front end grip - it's about losing rear end grip before the corner so that you don't need front end grip. can be done with weight transfer and handbrake or downshift or both

I lost count of the amount of times me or dan tried to explain they have MORE grip than either of us (i was on 175/65/13 remoulds front and rear

Its Cossie disease, where power oversteer is the only thing that exists, and if the car dont do exactly as you want, its the cars fault, not your own

Stavros, thats bollocks mate, cause I drove both my car and fudgeys car, and without ANY doubt, his had more front end grip than mine.
Last time I checked the laws of physics, the last thing you want on standing water is wide wheels as they dont sink into it![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
you are right about I could have done better clutch kicking mine though, but my car isnt a drift car and i dont want to treat it like one, a bit of power spinning the wheels is fine, but fucking up my nice shiney new paddle clutch kicking it all over a bit of concrete that I only really took mine along to make up the nubmers for anyway isnt

Me or Dan shouldve drove one of your cars, im sure they not as bad as you think they are, but i guess we will never know.
Cossies do understeer like pigs as the geometry is bad, but you got to drive around it, beasting the throttle makes things worse, the conditions were so bad i was spinning out under power too much with 95bhp.
Dans might have more front end grip as the geometrys sorted, but mine err, is shit, you drove it, you know its "special"
Ie shit
That wide wheels thing is poo IMO, thats what water channels are for, if it was true LeMans cars etc would change to 175s when the rain came down, surely![Confused](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
PS- drifting with clutch kicks wouldve been a lot better on the engine etc too, as in them conditions youd not have to go above 3k really and only do the lightest of kicks to get it going.
Ill never forget when i first started i did a day, was beasting it round like a madman in the dry, spinning all over the shop. Then let Kenny drive it and i was passenger. He never went over 3000rpm on a 230bhp or so 1.8 shitbox SX and was drifitng it better than i ever did![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
PPS- Get a Carlton or whatever, now

too much power coming in too soon the second it hit boost,
not enough front end grip,
too much mechanical sympathy for the clutch form myself,
not enough talent,
not enough steering lock

I wouldnt mind having a go at learning to drift at somepoint, that wasnt really what I went for last week though, it was just to practice my power oversteer and have a laugh, I think to actually learn to drift properly I could do with going on an organised day with some instruction.

I was wearing a flouro jacket because I was taking the pictures for the mag, and I wanted the talentless cunts in the shite cars arsiing around failing to drift to be able to see me from as far away as possible to increase their chances of tank slappering off in a direction different to the one I was stood in relative to them.
