Title: Drifting - whats it all about
Post by: JonnyAppleSeed on February 25, 2007, 01:22:53 PM
I thought i would bring up a dirty word "drifting" .. so whats it all about ?
 
The way i see it is its like showboating , showing off ..What i dont get is how it works with LFS ... :blink:
 
Do people just go on a drift server and try to look good ? Is there a cometitive side to it ?

It's not a dirty word per se. In fact I think that a good drifter is an amazingly talented person. It's just that when they come on a 'race' server they get in the way! As you'll see in the movie below, drifting is not the fastest way round a corner and they take up all the width of the road! They're not there to race but, as you say, to show off.
Good LFS drift movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFmfWgnLEw0&mode=related&search=)

I really don't know, how do you rule if a drift is a drift and not a different sort of drift? Do you vote on style or something?

But if it keeps the ricers (like Ben:)) happy, so be it.
