Description: I'm posting this video to dispel the widely-believed notion that Keiichi Tsuchiya, worshipped by many as the father of drifting, did it to be faster. On dry pavement, drifting is almost always slower. Period.

lauiop ::: Favorites rally and drifting is different... if u drift ur can on the rally track u will lose ur control and end with acident. the line when u drift and rally very different. u can't say it's no drifting. 07-10-14 05:44:58 __________________________________________________
Wolfe2x7 ::: Favorites "its like saying if your FWD car turns too quickly on a wet surface and the car slide, well its drifting." If you maintain control of the slide, sure, it's drifting. A car doesn't need to be capable of power oversteer to drift. "drifting is defined by loosing control of the car and then regaining it. which is not an option in rally while doing 180 kmh in the woods." You think rally drivers just pitch the car into the corner hoping for the best? That they aren't in control? 07-10-11 17:18:28 __________________________________________________
Wolfe2x7 ::: Favorites "how can it be drifting if rally exist since 1911 .... so theres no drifting." Did I ever say that drifting was new, or that it was "invented" by the Japanese, as many idiots claim? It's just a relatively recent term used to describe the age-old idea of controlled oversteer or a controlled 4-wheel-slide. 07-10-11 17:13:00 __________________________________________________

Wolfe2x7 ::: Favorites I wouldn't say they NEVER under/oversteer, but they do a lot of 4-wheel sliding. It's still drifting, and you're in the extreme minority for not thinking so. I don't think drifting is a way of racing. It just happens to be usable in rally due to the fact that the surfaces are often so slippery/unstable that maintaining grip at all times would become a time-consuming chore. It's faster just to slide through. 07-10-09 17:22:17 __________________________________________________
rx7outlaw ::: Favorites no, its sliding because its on dirt tracks. and if you look closely the car never under/over steer. anywyas, you should stop thinking that drifting is actually a way of racing, while its only to show off the skills to control an oversteering car. 07-10-09 12:23:16 __________________________________________________
Wolfe2x7 ::: Favorites Nice credentials, but that doesn't change the fact that "drifting" refers to either controlled oversteer or a controlled 4-wheel slide. You said yourself that the cars are sliding. Therefore, they are drifting. Now that I understand why you said the cars don't drift, I understand what you meant by "grip" in your previous post. 07-10-08 23:56:59 __________________________________________________
