yea the start point is alll the way back from the edge of the track surface (at the far end of the oval)

and seriously, EVERYONES car has a 'no lift' point for the first turn, there will be a different point for cars but there is always gonna be one, it wont be obvious maybe but if you think about it...
nolifting and...
you have 80mph and slide off track a little, if you start a little sooner, you will be a little slower too, too far back and you wont make the turn... there is an 'equilibrium point' for any car

just takes guts and a car you can trust at that speed/angle.

 

HAHA, Matt you crack me up. This is great. BTW, I only lifted to start the drift then it was back to the power. Actually I lied, I never had it at 100% throttle, more like 70%, Im a bigger wuss than I thought.

Ill be on the sidelines spectating this time, but I wanna hear rev limiters bouncing from the start of the corner all the way through.

 

ok he is not talkign about not lifting throughout the WHOLE turn, he is saying from start point to the first turn INITIATION not lifting... ie accelerating to XXmph and then kickign it sideways. then its ebrake + throttle, there is no way you could mash the accelerator from start all the way through that first turn and not crash.... (especially in the enjuku cars) if you full throttle youll either go off the track from too much speed (to the 'ramp'), or go inside of the corner (to the poles) from too much turn in angle.

if you are even THINKING of trying this, you'll have to use ebrake to slide your car for the end of the straightaway.

i could be wrong tho i guess... we will see

it may be possible if you skip the chicane and do the straight after the first turn

 

if you have to use the e-brake your not feinting enough. haha, give that wheel a tug, she'll come around on you, promise.

 

i am game.

 

sry probably a stupid question but do u have to be a registered driver to ride along?

 

yes

 

im not talking about the ABILITY to get it sideways. im talking about sliding the earliest without side-to-side drifting (manji) the straight away... using the ebrake will allow the earliest drift initiation point.

either way... have fun.

 

wait till matt hear's you talking about the ebrake entry

i'm all about faint

 

ok, nevermind, no one understands what im getting at, i was describing a super long entry drift with just a little steering 'shimmy' before hand. I to thing feint is awesome, but I was not under that impression since he said 'attacking the first turn'.... to me it sounds like he is going to have his first drift be in the direction of the turn, and not do a feint before it.

its like in FD, most of the drivers ebrake the first turns but some, especially mike peters of Bubba Drift, with feint into it. But also because feint is a little lower speed, and FD guys are all about high speed entry....

i guess only time will tell.
