-Touge Drifto-

Sure, you can pull it off on the track, but how good are you on a real life road?

This is going to be a thread inquiring about what you do and what you would do for drifting.

(now, first of all you should only race on roads with uber-low to NO upkeep)

(If there are no roads like that, don't race)

How do you drive, what car do you drive, and are there any special technique you employ?

The list of techniques i know:
-Driftingoversteer)
-Power oversteer(Muscle car!)
-trail Breaking
-Ebreak?
-shiftlock?(damaging)
-clutch kick
-engine breaking(Better than trail breaking)
-DriftingNeutralsteer)(4 wheel drift)
-FR version(hardest)
-AWD version (Medium)
-FF version(easiest)
-SpecialTotally insane noone would try in their right mind)
-Gutter hook
-Gutter shortcut
-"Ramp" [ledge] Jumping [to skip a corner]
-Understeer(lol)[jk...]

To start off:
Well, I would honestly say i always employ trail breaking and Neutral steer
90 deg slip angle to block off other people when i lead. when i chase i would press the guy as hard as i can. and i drive an ff; es300 1994 black with gold and gray trim, stock ugly chrome 6 spoke rims and totally stock. very poorly maintained and the fender scrapes [something] on opposite locks.

Oh btw:

^Skill!^(not me, but i did learn to drift rwd on a EZ-GO kart)

This is king of posts and you are truely a god amoung men.

[ramblux]

What game is this?

[Society Mike]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHHAHAAHHAHA


BUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

you made me laugh, this is the funniest thing ever

[equinox]

I am the fricking masta of ramp jumping...don't even get me started on that

I hit up "da toogey" all the time mang, just ask equinox, we roll deep. He balls out with the '97 Integra with H22 swap. I like to flash my '88 Celica All(yeah)trac or my '91 Supra Turbo.

I guess I'm best at AWD version, but i like to hit the gutters to drag me around the turns.

don't mind the haterz on this site dude. keep keepin' and keep it real. This game is all about riding the dragon and this is a wild one.

-peace

Yeah mang, i hit up "da toogey" all the time. I roll deep with equinox, the VC masta of drifto. He likes to roll in the '97 Integra, but I bring out the '88 Celica All(yeah)trac or the '89 Surpra TURBO.

I guess you can call me the AWD drifto style, but I like to hook the TSW wheels in the gutter and hold me around. Some day I'll grab some JDM Volks (Rays) and rock it hard.

Don't mind the haters on this site, they just didn't know how to drive and act the fool.

Playin drifto on the streets is like riding the dragon...only the real men can hold on.

-peace

Wait, is this supposed to be serious or something?

So let me get this straight: Track racing is not real racing, & the only real racing is on beat-to-crap country roads, and that all of us who live in the city shouldn't race unless we can find some country road??

ok...

[funkymonkey]

My Wu Tang technique is far superior to your trail braking technique.

what's the special technique? and are you like 10 years old?

i am actually serious about this and i do drive (16! yay!). It would seem stupid but, hey, i'm not actually posting where I am doing this so the piggies would come and ruin my fun.[and fun of my friends have]. so i think it would be nice to let up on the usless flaming. I'm not actually offended by the flaming in the 6 or so posts above. but seriously, i started this thread to ask people about what technique would they employ on real roads. Because honestly I really dispise track racing and it's because of track and oval racing that makes auto sports less exciting and booooooring!.

so it would be nice to post about your techniques instead of flaming me, despite my apparently immature wording of my post.

PS: I have been driving for about 3/4th of a year but i spent a lot of time studying automotive technology and drifting and also a lot of time on the roads trying out techniques (i drove every day and night driving to perfect my techniques over the summer). i am actually very serious about this sport and it's people like white dolomite and funky monkey that discourage Newbies.

sure... that's what i ment; i mean, you should get what you can, you know what i mean? If you live in the cities, and the tracks are a great choice. it's just that track racing is all about the car's technology not the driver's technique. in the city, there is track racing(hopefully) or you might find some drag racing action, but look at the name of this forum: Drifting.com... I just think touge is better than track racing. You still need skills to race period. All of the low speed sections in a rural windy road makes for a much better time on wheels (or in a hospital if you suck (Morgue if you really suck)). and the rain. I still admire race car drivers for their agilities, just that driving auto x, rally, and touge requires more skills than track.

you've obviously never been on a roadcourse before.

nevermind, you're 16. that whole 3/4 of a year in the seat is definitely enough to say that roadracing takes less skill than driving like a jackass on a public roadway. anything you can do right now you will think is the coolest and most skillful. someone will eventually show you otherwise and you'll either shut your mouth and actually learn something or continue being delusional about your 9 months in the driver's seat honing your "skills".

[Piner]

^ +1 this guy has been being a jackass on the drift central forums ever since he got laughed off of here.

Whow... "jackass"? that's a little harsh...
well, anyways, how about i rephrase the question?
\|/ \|/
What do you drive, and how do you drive?
do you like ff's, fr's, mr's, f4, or m4's?
just anything about touge in general

and, okay, if you ment roadracing as in track racing
then yes i have never tracked before(actually once just last week)
well, just putting it out there, you gotta admit, rally and autox is more exciting then F1... or nascar, which by the way, is a total joke!

Let me guess, you learned alot of what you know about drifting by watching Initial D.

What I don't understand is why you keep seperating Rally and Autocross from "track racing".

I'll just say this. Real drivers don't street race. It's dangerous, it's stupid, it's illegal and it's bad for the sport. If you want to prove your "techniques" that you perfected over the course of a summer, then take it to a real track where the rules are clear and the playing field is even. If you don't want to race on a track because it's "too boring", then you're not in it for the driving, you're in it for the adrenaline rush of doing something dangerous and illegal. If that's the case, take up base jumping and leave our sport alone.

well put.. however not everyone has the cash cow or even a place to use their awesomely uber driving skills.. i believe the real reason they call "tracks" boring is because they do not have the means to go to such a place except for in a damn video game.. life suks, get a helmet lol
comments?

Well, i would have to say. maybe it IS what i'm in the sport for, the rush of driving, but no, not for the rush of criminal activity. I just think that it's more exiting to go over uneven roads. rally, and touge is awesome, especially b-class rallys(dis-continued)

well, i did go to the track last week, the visibility was clear and the track is wide. it's nice, except, I still stand by what i said. uneven roads are harder to drive on, ergo, more challenge. the closest thing to touge is pavement rally. have you seen the pike peak competitions? it's like a sanctioned touge battle. well, it just seem so much better then going on paved over, groomed asphalt, the unexpected is what keeps you in you in your conscious.

and by the way, I DID NOT learn stuff from initial d. but the thing is, they make a great starting off point. it's actually very entertaining and it glorifies drifting. in none of the stories do they involve cops and they do go over the basics pretty well. I watched a bunch of option vids i dl'd of the internet and also borrowed mags from my friend (mostly about car tuning)... And i don't take driving classes of any kind, they are a waste of money in my opinion.

[Piner]

^ they would be a waste of money for you because as far as I can tell you are against really learning anything all together.

You'd probly sit there telling the instructors how they should drive even though they 1000X more experience than you do.

Can anyone in WA please Slap this kid for me, I'll give you a cookie.

For the love of mankind please never translate this thread into Japanese.

You really don't deserve to be a part of the society that shelters you - or even live around others for that matter.

You think you know who is and isn't driving on the roads the same time you are? What happens the one time a family is forced to drive in the AM, and takes that road?

I'm feeling more and more that I should stop medical school and go into law/law enforcement, to stop people from becoming victims of scum like you in the first place.
Remember, the fact that you're worthless doesn't reflect the value of the lives of those unfortunate enough to be around you.

HAHAHA... lil squirt. he's only 16. thats what it all comes back to.

First, Initial D was entertaining, but it was so terribly incorrect from a techinical standpoint that it was almost laughable. If that's your starting point, then you're already off to a bad start.

Secondly, you keep seperating rally, Pikes Peak and the like from "track racing". You do realize that track racing isn't just on asphalt, right? Track racing is any kind of race in a closed off, sanctioned and legal environment. That includes WRC, Pike's Peak, CORR, Formula D, Nascar, Formula 1, Supercross, Le Mans, NHRA . . . they're all on closed tracks and therefore track racing.

If you want to say that off-road racing is more fun or more exciting than asphalt racing, fine. That's a perfectly legitimate opinion if you have enough experience with both to make a reasoned decision. However, telling us that Driving schools are a waste of money, even though you've never been to one, is just plain stupid. Drivers ed and traffic school are not the same as a performance driving school taught by professional drivers. If you're not learning anything at one of those, you're either not trying or you're not listening. Also, telling us that your nine months behind the wheel driving around on beat-to-crap country roads makes you experienced enough to tell us what real racing is or that you don't need instruction is nothing more than the prideful and oblivious ramblings of a teenage idiot that has no clue what he's talking about. Doing that will only get you or, God forbid, someone else killed. Just ask my brother's friend George . . .
