i think so.

Can we drift a Sportivo? I think can drift FF cars, just harder and won't be as fun as an FR or MR But should be a great atmosphere there with heaps of cool cars. Too bad i am not going, maybe if there is one in Sydney :P

[GZE_Bandit]

Drifting fwd cars requires a different approach and judicious use of the handbrake. Altogether different type of drift to a rwd car, as you dont have the back wheels powering your slide. Not to say it isnt fun though :)

[Mr2-Zx6r]

drifting a mr car is hard and requires a lot of skill, its harder to predict the handling as compared to fr as if you back of the accelerator it generally corrects it self pretty easy but can also suffer from snap oversteer if pushed to hard, ive never seen a mr car used for drift purposes for this reason, if any one has id be interested to see the info :)

[illuminati]

ive seen more then 1 mr2 drifitng. no where near as many as rwd tho.

if u watch the drift bible by japans 'drift king' (the guy from Best Motoring), he drifts one.

BTW unless u dont kno how drift is done or want to kno, dont buy the drift bible.

Drifting a FF car would be extremely difficult as you would lose momentum and you would be hard pushed to maintain it as any attempt would result in your car coming out of the slide. a rear wheel drive can use the spin of the back wheels to maintain the momentum of the car. In theory a rear wheel drive car could drift until the tires popped.

hmm. ive actually tried a few drifts on my ff corona st190. its quite a challenge.

[illuminati]

i can get the vectra to drift(if u can call it that, i dunno)

i just brake late(real late) and the body weight get distributed well and the wheels screeching and the back comes out. the more i brake during the corner while the wheels r screeching the more the bak comes out. its ballanced really weel for that dort of stuff, alot of fun! its an auto btw so it is pretty much in neutral while this is happening(damn auto, i hate u)

[illuminati]

so what u think of the show mate?

I loved it. the D1 drivers were amazing!!

[126]

i had a good time. d1 for drifting and d1 for dancing!

what were the mr2s doing on the track with the d1 race? they were poor.

[illuminati]

i think he was video taping it. i think this cos its more of a grip car then a drift car so they could get better footage..

my mate got a foto taken with the d1 guy, its a pissa, ill post it l8r

[126]

ah you are right because the mr2 had a pen camera on the roof. probably come out in the next hpi dvd.
