Well I have done both on our local circuit, and have had just as much fun doing either! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

A drifting mistake won me a club trophy too: 'Longest distance travelled sideways across the infield award'. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png



I took my boy to see top fuel doorslammers last weekend, even though drags are near the bottom of my motorsport list, and ended up having an interesting conversation with the driver of a 6 second nitro altered. Those guys are certifiably insane!



Each to their own, it's all fun! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

i iddn't say drifting was easy... nor did i make a comment it was hard... I never implied drifting was either or... i ahve not stated my opinion with regards to it's level of difficulty

it is a motorsport think of it as much more fun autox https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

i didnt read anything because im pretty sure this has been argued about 4000 times



i will say..... people who make fun of drifting do that because they cannot drift....



another thing....if drifting isnt a sport....then drag racing, autox, circuit racing, rally racing, etc. are NOT sports as well



cheers that was just a dumb post

BUT... WHY THE **** IS THERE A DRIFT FORUM HERE?



Drifting is not racing.

ok so then what youre saying is anything not racing related shouldnt be on the forum?



A) dumbass for saying that

B) dumbass for thinking drifting is the antichrist.

Grip is defined by frictional force, where the coeffecient for kinetic friction is less then the coefficient for static friction.

Fn = uFf



u = coefficient of friction.

Fn = natural force

Ff = frictional force



also note that Fn = Fg



which goes into the formula F(sum of forces) = mass x acceleration



So in other words Uk < Us = drift
