i was jus wondering which is more skillful drifting or circuit racing ???

 

wonder wat responce your gonna get from everyone since you posted in the drifting forum. i personaly think thats its diffrent skills even tho your pushing the car to its limit in either form. drifting is more of style than racing and well circuit is a race. you gotta be able to read what the car in front is doing and push him till he makes a mistake so you can pass.

 

tru.....tr dosent have a circuit forum i dnt think anyone do ...and thinks i think you explained it best

 

Both.

You need to fully understand your car and be able to push it to the limit (yeah yeah, song just came on). Tandem driving takes skill to understand how the other driver is reacting, same thing with circuit. You need to read what is happening in front of you.

Great drivers can handle both styles. Look at a circuit driver, they are capable of handling a car in a drift as they encounter the breaking point of their tires or the effect of giving too much gas too early.

 

different set of skills. cant really compare fairly. BUT, a pro drifter can prolly finish mid-pack or better in his first circuit race. A pro circuit driver will prolly finish in last or close to it, in his first pro drift event.

either one at its high level of competition is nuts!

 

just to be a smartass
im pretty sure jamie mcmurray could do half decent at drifting after this 180ish mph slide at las vegas. not he only lost a few spots threw the whole thing

I don't think he could reliably do it at a pro level course, but touche'

 

lmao that was pretty damn good!!!!! even nascar racers want to be like us!!! lol

 

personal i think drifting is more popular thts about it i think they r bout the same amount of skills

 

nope probly not. but why would he try hes banking in nascar. i mean i doubt that d1 or formual d guys make near as much as a nascar guy
