UK Drift Comp

[ThorpaaayUK]

Nah, trust me. The track is mega wide, and the corners are crap, with sharp bends into open ones, and open bends into sharp ones, its tedious and boring to drive. Plus, if you get speed up, you just grab the hand-brake and sideways your car goes. If you are in the right gear, a little feather of the throttle and anyone can get round it.

 

Something like tantalus, any of those corners, ANY, would be better than the track. The roads are tighter, theres traffic, varying gradients. That takes skill to drift.

 

Just dont think using the track would show much drift skill at all.

 

Plus using anywhere else would result in a nice little crash/spinout section at the end when things go wrong :)

Took a Drive Down it Earlier bit too long for video's but I Might just make it 4 or 5 good Corners!

[Guest Johansen]

yep the whole ting is to big just some corners is great.

[Marc_CRX]

I will choose the corners tomorrow then!

[Guest Johansen]

cool im gonna start learning the road better soon.

[FA430RGT]

I reckon we should do the first one on the track.. After that we change to other locations..

[ThorpaaayUK]

If you chose some nice linking corners mark, that would be awesome. Would make great videos, and would show who can drift well and link corners together well.

 

Im just trying to make the competition for the drivers and the videos for the public judges a little more interesting, thats all :D

[Nipper]
