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 is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion

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

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.

I think fatcat is confusing my awesome skidding about skillz as drifting.
