E30 drifter in Falken D1 video

[brantleyr]

beautiful. would definitely feel nervous with that in my mirror, wish they would have popped the hood though

[FJ40]

I love how they show their footwork at the perfect times, so you could see that one time where he shifted up, and then that other time, where he like, shifted up.

I've never seen the draw of parking lot drifiting.

That's the weirdest looking parking lot I've ever seen.

[Jand3rson]

Meh, exaggerated parking lot.

That's a RACE TRACK.

And you keep bringing up this point of "exiting a corner quicker". Drifting out of a corner is not a faster way to exit it.

[Erick]

Seriously though, nowhere in drifting does it say that time is related. For that matter, not even all drifters are into the competition. A lot of people just do it because they get a kick out of going sideways.

I suggest you go out to a drift event... even if not participating, go for a ride with someone. Then decide. If you still don't like it: Hey, it's not for everyone. But a lot of people just put drifting down without even trying to understand where we are coming from.

[Erick]

You're missing the point entirely. You're trying to find some sort of technical (perhaps mathematical) explanation as to why someone would do such a thing. Drifting, as a motorsport recognized today, is not about timing or being the fastest.

The reason why I suggest going for a ride is because that's something no YouTube video can show you. The reason why you should go out is because you might just realize that it's "fun", and fun is enough to keep going at it.

Some people just go to the junker every month or two, pick up a pair of used tires to roast for cheap, and others choose it to take it a few steps further, where they make it their biggest hobby.

O RLY? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqZO-xURLqc

All I'm saying is, when you drift into a corner (not talking about hardcore vertical sticker drifiting, just carrying the back end out a bit,) you carry more speed into the corner. Thus, you exit the corner faster. When done correctly, it can be quicker than braking before the corner.

You know he's not gaining "speed" by doing that right? Any sliding past the apex of a corner is just a loss of acceleration and consequently, your lap time.

tde30 watch the vid links i posted and you will find out what you can learn from gymkhana.

OH WOW. You changed what I said in my quote. That's such epic ownage of me, by you doing that, with my quoted text.

You're a douchebag.

Oh Hay guize!

Thats sick.....

[E30_pilot]

sick e30 doing the dori dori.

im wishing i never sold my s13 :(

[Erick]

E30s are more fun to slide than S13s ;)

I already have 4-5 240sx owners locally who sold their cars for e30s. :p
