whats amazing out of all this....is that we have been doing it for less than 10 years. japanland has 10 years on us.
And we still don't even know what would be a perfect "drift setup".
Momentum has a lot to do with getting the car around a corner in a drift. while the rear tires push the car forwards. If you notice, when drivers are trying to pickup speed, they run very little angle.
In a grip situation, you have lateral grip "x" and forward grip "y"...both of those have to equal "z (100% friction)".
In drifting, the front tires don't have a huge amount of lateral force (as the tires are to direct the vehicle...rather than hold grip). So thinking about that, means that the rear tires have to "push" to keep the car going forward, while the momentum helps keep the car sliding sideways.
I really wish would could get some pro's logic behind their setups.
