Drifting in Singapore Streets
-
Was on Bus 18 last night, sat upstairs front seat as usual, looking at cars...
It was close to midnight and not many cars left on the streets. My bus stopped at a traffic light junction, just before the Telecoms building. Suddenly heard a loud engine and turned to my right, the little highway coming from Changi General Hospital. A black Civic with white rims was going at least 80 down the 1st lane from the right and executed a fxxking drift to the outermost lane (thank god no incoming car) and zoomed away. I was like stunned up there, was as if straight from Initial D. Really dangerous, but nice to watch
Any of you seen/done street drifting? Share share
P.S First post... don't flame me thanks
-
get the cops on them?
simply because that's bloody dangerous and people around may get hurt...
if people wanna "drift" or whatever maniac dangerous things, there are these skidpan areas which are around Bukit Batok... dunno who actually owns them..
go there, do that there, and try not to die while at it... -
Drifting on d street is rather dangerous 2 both d driver n other user of d road. This ppl only thinking of show off their skills infront of other ppl. Yet drifting using a FF car is not fun, any time missed may juz understeer!!
Do remember, a true hero never play on d road. They'r born on d circuit.
If u really like to watch drifting, u may purchase a DVD or VCD of the D1 GP japan or US. They'r more skillful and drift more siong. -
these driver think they damn good driving skills...how they feel if their own family members are walking near someone like them... -

Nope, havent been to the above mentioned places so I guess I was really lucky to actually see some drifting IRL, although it was really dangerous.. Any one here can drift? As in nicely?

i have a question on high speed cornering... i'm driving a honda civic vti(auto) was traveling at PIE @ speed of 120+, and was about to filter lane to eunos exit, i didnt step the brake hard enough to slow the car down, and was turning at around 100+...
how come my car will lost control as it steer toward to right when i turn my steerwheel to the left.. -
Wonders of Centrifugal Force. Your car is moving too fast to turn left so the force is "pushing" it out to the right or vice visa. Understeering is the word for it.Originally posted by daniel_84:i have a question on high speed cornering... i'm driving a honda civic vti(auto) was traveling at PIE @ speed of 120+, and was about to filter lane to eunos exit, i didnt step the brake hard enough to slow the car down, and was turning at around 100+...

S_15_spec_R.... drifting mean he made a mistake. the most basic rule of tarmac racing. u anyways that kind of little antics are nothing. pooh pooh.
-
Hmm... I don't know why you would say that is a mistake :/
Perhaps he was trying to do the drift on purpose instead of trying to race? It looked like an awesome drift to me heh... the kinds you would see in Initial D. Shrug :/ -

Me...

Mostly Protons... -
HENG is right. FF car dun drift. It's becoz of understeer that make it skip like drifting. Only FR & 4WD can make a perfect drift.Originally posted by s15_spec_R:Hmm... I don't know why you would say that is a mistake :/

i would say its a mistake because in a real race, the last thing any racing driver wants is to drift and waste enegry which would be more useful applied in the direction it was meant to go, and the last thing they want to do is to wear the tyres out and give themselves difficulty later on in the race. young boy, if u believe initial D is called racing, u need to grow up. what u think is called "racing" is far from the truth.Originally posted by s15_spec_R:Hmm...

Drifting is for showboating. Any racing driver can drift, but not every drifter knows how to race. -
actually, FF can drift. Its very simple to drift an FF car. all u have to do, is............. lift off. or give the handbrake a short sharp pull. drifting only makes sense when u are doing a rally on a loose surface, eg, gravel or snow. or occasionally for the sharpest of hairpins, and even then, u do not drift with your tail out, but just apply the minimal slip angle needed. all out, sideways, tail out drifting, is SLOW.Originally posted by blue_picanto:HENG is right.

All cars can drift.. FF, FR, MR, 4WD, whatever... HENG just gave a brief explaination of a braking drift... but there are other ways too.Originally posted by blue_picanto:HENG is right.

i would suggest go get VCD betterOriginally posted by Bloop...:All cars can drift.. FF, FR, MR, 4WD, whatever... HENG just gave a brief explaination of a braking drift... but there are other ways too.

which sheds much light on the signature that you once had of the great Alain Prost, "I am slow when i look fast" or something along that line.Originally posted by HENG@:i would say its a mistake because in a real race, the last thing any racing driver wants is to drift and waste enegry which would be more useful applied in the direction it was meant to go, and the last thing they want to do is to wear the tyres out and give themselves difficulty later on in the race. young boy, if u believe initial D is called racing, u need to grow up. what u think is called "racing" is far from the truth.

Hi, I experienced a small drift a few days ago.Originally posted by AE86tofu:nope....4WD is very hard 2 drift.....sigh....
I am testing drive a Impresa ST1.6 in Ubi. This AWD car impress me a lot in cornering and stability in high speed. The sales person encourage me to speed up in a 3 lane way. I was running at 120+. But I am not familer with the road condition there. Very soon, reached to the end of the road and there is a big turn to another smaller road. I have already lower down speed a bit at about 80km, but obviously I underestimate the curvature of the corner. Afraid of totally lossing control of the car, I dare not hard press brake. Don't know how the ABS performans in such a corner. I slowly press down the brake, and try to control the steering wheel to keep the car in the lane. However, it start to drift, more than half of the body drifted to opposite lane, especially the rear side. At that moment, there is CIVIC come in the opposite lane. It jam braked. We missed with a car body distance. Sweat from every pore. If it is not AWD, there could be collision test between Subaru and Civic. -
take the MRT from Jurong East towards Choa Chu Kang.. in between Bukit Gombak and Choa Chu Kang stations, heading towards CCK, look on the right side.. you'll see these skidpans....
there, when on the train, have seen people learning how to control skids..Originally posted by bismarck:BB? where in BB? nvr heard before
