Default Re: drifting and powersliding

where as powersliding is merely punching the gas in the exit of a turn, drifting is the maintainence of speed thru a turn, by keeping the momentum going. weight shift is what is required to do this feat. entering a corner, going thru the apex, *and coming out of the turn (*depending on show or race drift) is true drifting, not what u do while pulling out of an intersection.

just thought id let people know.
I personally define a power slide as any time the fronts have full front traction, and the rears have zero traction.

a drift is when the fronts are sliding also, at a nice yaw rate but not nearly as much as the rears.

youre describing a 'power over' technique, evan.
