E30 Drifting content

[e30rcr]

Different strokes for different folks.

I personally find drifting "mildly entertaining" at best, in comparison to fast laps, and only if I'm doing it.

Actually going for fast laps on the other hand, is intense to me. And I can sit there and watch other people do it for hours... it's still exciting to me.

On the other hand, some people get their rocks off sliding their cars around, and can't stand watching a race.

I love hot lapping and regular autocrossing, I'm actually very good at it, that's where the car control skills came from to start drifting. It's actually very difficult, mostly because you are ENTERING the corner sideways, not just powering out.

The organizers and I had a little chat to make this happen, DONT DRIFT AT YOUR LOCAL AUTOCROSS children, you WILL get booted out!

Here's a pic of the fast car that comes to all the HPDE events (currently retired from track duty untill i'm done drifting):



And for shits and giggles my old mini cooper at the autocross:

I 'drifted' my e30 into the kitty litter coming out of the keyhole at Mid-Ohio.

There really wan't too much fun about it.

:shrug:

Is it common for people to drift at autocrosses over there or were you just messing around? I've never seen more than a powerslide around a 180 degree turn here at an auto-x.

Most places will boot your ass if you're pulling stuff like that.

that autocross video the OP posted was obviously NOT drifting. That was simply oversteer.

Nope

It's power on oversteer, this is the same shit I've done in the snow since I was 14. Every good ol' boy in a pickup truck has been doing this for the past 30 years.
