can all cars do drifting?
-
Yes, contrary to some beliefs, all cars with the proper techniques can drift.
-
some can hold a drift longer and with more ease.
some cannot...can only drift short distances with the use of handbrakes. -
Best setup for drifting: FR/MR/RR
Best car for drifting: AE86 (hachiroku!!)
Juz my thots...
-
eh, not really. mine dun use handbrakes also can.Originally posted by jiayong:some can hold a drift longer and with more ease.

Rear wheel drive cars would be better for drifting as it oversteers comparing to Front wheel drive cars which understeers.
Proper LSD is also needed. -
to be precise, a FR/MR/RR car tends to oversteer. an FF and some 4WDs tend to understeer. how ur car behave is directly linked to the drivers response in a weight transfer situation (ie in a corner) as well as the natural characteristics of the car.Originally posted by Reutral:Rear wheel drive cars would be better for drifting as it oversteers comparing to Front wheel drive cars which understeers.

LSD is actually not ideal for drifting as it helps in the torque transfer when it senses a slip in any one wheel. in drifting, the wheels need to lose grip/ slip in order to do a drift, so having the LSD would require more skill (and balls) to make a car drift. -
DUN EVEN TINK ABOUT IT ON A PUBLIC ROAD !!Originally posted by digicharat:can all cars do drifting?
why must drift? I was hit by a farking car driver who tried some drifting stunt and shattered my shin bone...ccb.....insurance pay aso no use..now right leg shorter for life.
Drift oredi got ppl clap anot? kenna accident curse ur forefathers 18 generation...
Why drift and wear our ur tyres early then tyres botak must change b4 inspection?
Wan to drift big time? heavy rain time run thru a puddle of water at 110km/h++ and pull handbrake..drift plus hydro planning (aqua effect)..hopes it kills me to serve as a warning to others...thats the way I tried to end my life when I found that i had to walk like a cripple with a shorter right leg for the rest of my life...lost my sports life and now end up working with gals in an office jobs.....knn -
You mastered dynamic/power drifting har? Even the drift king of Japan don't dare to claim number 2.Originally posted by tailslide:eh, not really. mine dun use handbrakes also can.

I think mine need handbrakes in order to drift.... almost impossible to do it..... Nv try be4... maybe if I try u will see a topple turtle....Originally posted by tailslide:eh, not really. mine dun use handbrakes also can. -
dun need so chim lah, juz go fast enough and drop gear before entering the corner without doing heel-toe and turn sharply. the tail confirm come loose.Originally posted by ditzy:You mastered dynamic/power drifting har? Even the drift king of Japan don't dare to claim number 2. 
or while negotiating the turn, juz lift off the accelerator abruptly at hi rpm. now only need to apply a bit of counter steer....
trust me..... happened before. -
drifting dun anyhow play unless u can really control.....must check ground condition...
dunno any1 from here got go last year the Yokohama Auto Challenge, got the japan the wat drift king"(manabo orido)
at the 2nd day, when even finish,.it was raining liao...got a 4get red or blue s15, play drifting near the tent bank its rear against the stone ...but the driver cannot "sia sway" dun care still drift & drift...ground condition is important..ur car can be te best, tires can be te best,can even better den SO2 but.....if when drifting, on those places tat hv stones or watever shit,the tires also cannot grip on te surface mah...get wat i mean?it contact wid those stones or etc mah........ -
drifiting works better for cars with RWD right?
-
whoever tries this on a public road should get his license suspended for life and his ass thrown in the slammer for a few days...
and if they're dumb enough to try it with a high CG vehicle, maybe it's a Darwin Award waiting to happen... -

yes all cars can drift. but drifting is for showmanship purposes only. when i do it, i do it for fun. during races we try to eliminate any drifting because it wears out tyres faster and is a very slow way to corner. on the roads, pls dun do it, because, like i said, its dangerous. for all drift fans, do check out the D1 drift series, where the competitiors drift on specially prepared circuits, and are judged on style and not speed.

why is drifting slower than a normal turn at a corner?Originally posted by HENG@:yes all cars can drift. but drifting is for showmanship purposes only. when i do it, i do it for fun. during races we try to eliminate any drifting because it wears out tyres faster and is a very slow way to corner. on the roads, pls dun do it, because, like i said, its dangerous. for all drift fans, do check out the D1 drift series, where the competitiors drift on specially prepared circuits, and are judged on style and not speed. -
Its seems slower, but the entry and exit in and out of a corner is the minimal loss of power. Meaning you can accelerate out faster than a normal turn.Originally posted by bmw_lover:why is drifting slower than a normal turn at a corner? -
nope. u can't. when you're sliding sideways, against the direction the tyres and wheels are meant to rotate, u're generating more friction, u need more time to catch the slide, and straighten out before u can start accel, and u are also wasting power since its not transmitted cleanly to the ground.Originally posted by ditzy:Its seems slower, but the entry and exit in and out of a corner is the minimal loss of power. Meaning you can accelerate out faster than a normal turn. -
simple. u're not making physics work for you. think about it, why don't u see Formula 1 cars drifting? unless you have a very loose surface, or a very very sharp corner, usually, even WRC cars tend to minimise drifting. the only time when drifting helps u corner faster is on entry, and even then, only very slight oversteer. the slight oversteer is to help orientate the car for the exit as early as possible, hence an early accel as much as possible, at a speed higher than possible. the driver would have to catch the oversteer even before it has really started because that little bit is all it takes to orientate your car properly. once its orientated, anymore sliding or drifting would be a waste of power and time, instead, once the oversteer has been caught, start accel smoothly out of the corner.Originally posted by bmw_lover:why is drifting slower than a normal turn at a corner? -
the reverse is true for WRC races, somehow, all that drifting actually resulted in faster times as compared if the cars were slowing down and taking lines for each turn.
-
wow... i see i see. thx heng@ and tailslide
-
yes. like i said, for very sharp corners n loose surfaces. tarmac rallies have less drifting n sliding. mostly in very sharp hairpins.Originally posted by tailslide:the reverse is true for WRC races, somehow, all that drifting actually resulted in faster times as compared if the cars were slowing down and taking lines for each turn.
