Sign up to driftworks and have that discussion mate, you'll never be bored again, they'll entertain you for hours

Im not particuarly amazing at drifting (as in the RWD sense) or lift off oversteer/handbraking, but can certainly just about do both, and there are a vast number of similarities in terms of the steering input required to do both, so its a very transferrable set of skills, but there are also differences as well.

Funny how the more viable and accurate the terms get the more actual fun gets sucked out the whole concept. Moral high ground much higher at least though wahey!

I think a discussion on the difference between how a car slides as fwd or rwd is moderately interesting.

anyway, im sure we all agree its great driving whatever its called, no arguments about that which ive seen in the thread yet

Wouldnt know mate, I find it hard to tell if people are replying pissed off or perfectly happy like I am myself, the written word is often lousy at showing emotions.

Not a bad little vid, certainly is an interesting driving style however the fuck you want to describe it. Drifting / oversteer / understeer / handbraking.

Fuck it, let's just call it driving it like he stole it and have done with it.

If it moves broadside, its drifting in my book regardless of how they get it to pitch sideways. . .
