ANd Kp is how old.? Ever done any Real racing?
Kp in a grown up world one would say, I dont agree that its a 4 wheel drift because of X Y and Z.. Then I would reply well at the end of the turn the car breaks loose and you can see the front wheels slide. and it looks like the car is AWD.. So I see your point Since I was running the playback at 2x to skim the video. I may of only registered the last portion .VS the huge drifts like on Top gear.. etc. where you can see the car slide big.
Have fun guys. No Im not stereotyping all drifters, actually I have raced with Chalrie from the drift group. He is a really good driver. But the discussion here seems to prove he is a unique person.
Next time I want to have this level of a discussion ill go down to local high school.
I see you're point but there are a few things to note. Drifting is about high angles and smoking the tires and the video posted is some oversteer, but not really 'drifting'. The only draw to that video for me is the unique/expensive cars used.
Second, the techniques in that video and true drifting are miles apart because, like I said, they are simply over steering some. Not to say that doesn't take skills, but I find it hard that doing that vs getting a car 90*deg to your roadway at 100mph and 300ft from the actual turn are the same skill set.
Third, the guy you are specifically calling out, has that 100mph+ skill set and much more. He is one of the best drifters in the southeast USA. He doesn't have to like your video or share your opinion on things, but I understand your point of how he stated it, but its just the internet, relax.
Check out the other video that was posted about Kansai and you'll see a much different style of driving, which is what we are all about. This isnt a 'bad' video, its just not really drifting to us.
